Here it is, my thoughts on the last Book of 2018. Apologies that there is no First Sentence nor Memorable Moment. Alas I handed the book to someone else without making a note of them. TT
A WINTER FLAME by MILLY JOHNSON.
A WINTER FLAME by MILLY JOHNSON.
Eve has never liked Christmas. So when her adored elderly aunt dies, the last thing she is expecting is to be left a theme park in her will. A theme park with a Christmas theme …
And that's not the only catch. Her aunt's will stipulates that Eve must run the park with a mysterious partner, the exotically named Jacques Glace. Who is this Jacques, and why did Aunt Evelyn name him in her will?
But Eve isn't going to back down from a challenge. She's determined to make a success of Winterworld, no matter what. Can she overcome her dislike of Christmas, and can Jacques melt her frozen heart at last?

Other than that ...
I hold my hands up to loving the thought of a gloriously dotty great-aunt and a year round Christmas themed park in Yorkshire but even so a story with not much to it though it did have a certain charm; overall I thought A Winter Flame an enjoyable enough festive romp, not something I'd probably have enjoyed nearly as much any other time of the year but still, a pleasant way to while away a few wintry hours.
