Christmas at the Island Hotel (Mure)

Product Information

I just can't imagine what the point of them was--all it served to do for me was completely distract me from enjoying the story. The new hotel’s impressive kitchens throw together two unlikely new friends: Isla Gregor is the hardworking young girl who has been a waitress in the island's cafe, dreaming of a bigger, better life now that she’s at a proper fancy hotel. However although the MacKenzie family still feature significantly, they’re not really the main focus of the book. Daarnaast leef je mee met juf Lorna en huisarts Saif, die nog steeds wacht op nieuws over zijn vrouw, erger je je aan een momzilla op het eiland, moet je lachen om de grote persoonlijkheid van Flora’s nichtje Agot en pakt een viral video niet helemaal uit zoals die bedoeld was. The story didn't give me any of the cozy feelings of a small town nor did it give me the warm feelings of Christmas or the holidays in which I was hoping for.

Joel forgets to mention that he has arranged for the son of the Duke of Norway, a spoiled and lazy brat, to come and work as a kitchen boy at the Hotel, to help his father straighten the kid out. I was given ‘Christmas at the Island Hotel’ last Christmas, and although it’s not remotely seasonally appropriate, I decided to read it over the past few days. So hieß "Jan" , Frau von Charlie, in diesem Buch "Pam", Joel hieß bisher "Binder" mit Nachnahmen und nun plötzlich "Booker" und andere Kleinigkeiten. Yes, of course, there is a little romance in here, but it is not the ‘syrupy sweet’ stuff I have read in other books. On the tiny, beautiful, and remote island of Mure, halfway between Scotland and Norway, a new hotel opening is a big event.

Joel is equally amazed but just cannot believe the gifts he has been given at this stage in his life.

Fishing boats leave the small harbor regularly unless the winds reach gale force, or the ice seizes everything. For me, there wasn't the character attachment or emotional investment in the outcome which could have potentially happened if I had read the previous books. Hij heeft veel moeite om het hotel dat hem is nagelaten klaar te krijgen voor de grote opening, er zijn geldproblemen en hij mist zijn grote liefde enorm. As the island’s residents and special VIP guests gather for the hotel’s grand opening gala, Christmas is in the air. A lovely, warm-hearted Christmas tale about a family and extended family on the tiny island of Mure.The Rock – the rambling, disused hotel on the tip of the island – was Colton's passion project before he died. However, Flora has difficulty remaining still and she wants to help her brother Fintan fulfill the dying wish of his husband, Coltan, and open the Island Hotel for Christmas. Recommended in a low-key way as light holiday reading, particularly if you've read some of the earlier books in the series. A new French chef, Gaspard, arrives along with Konstantin, a mysterious kitchen assistant who has limited experience. This was such a cosy and feel good read that was perfect to snuggle up with during this cold weather and bask in the warm, quirky characters and multiple romances that unfold.

Konstantin has been sent to learn what it is to work hard for a living, before receiving his inheritance. Even the younger characters, whilst using messaging services, seem to b e blissfully unaware of the internet. Right from the very start of the book, I was scratching my head trying to figure out who the Bookers were.So badly so, that he doesn't care about the wishes of his dead hubby that he would rather just mope about and not exist within the confines of the pages of the book about his hotel.
