What a thoroughly lovely book!
I haven't come across one of these style books from Mills and Boon before but I really enjoyed the way this 4-in-1 book came together like a series, even though each title was written by a different author. Continuity was faultless and I know that it cannot have been easy for the authors - being given a strict criteria to then try and come up with a decent story - but it worked.
Every single character came to life, they were believable and I felt like I was actually there, visiting the village and getting to know everyone.
I love this book and would happily recommend to a friend and will no doubt re-read at some point, maybe in time for next Christmas. I see there is another 4-in-1 set in the Village and will be tracking this down in the New Year to see what happens in the lives of some of the other characters!
