Christmas at Thornton Hall

If you only treat yourself to one festive read this year, it has to be this one Goodreads Reviewer When Juliet Hill unwittingly discovers a most-definitely-not-hers-rhinestone-studded lace thong in her high-flying lawyer boyfriends apartment, this usually feisty chef is suddenly single and facing a very blue Christmas with only a ready meal for one to keep her company! So when shes personally requested to cater for the family at Thornton Hall three days before Christmas, its not long before Juliets standing at the (back) door of the Earl of Gloucesters impossibly grand ancestral pile. The halls are decked, the guests are titled, those below the stairs are delightfully catty, and all-American Juliet sets to work cooking up a glorious British Christmas with all the trimmings. But other flames are burning besides those on the stove Sparks fly with Edward, the gorgeous ex-soldier turned resident chef, and are those sidelong looks Juliets getting from her boss, the American tycoon Jasper Roth? As the snow starts to fall on the idyllic Cotswolds countryside, so does the veneer of genteel high society and there are more than a few ancient skeletons rattling out of the Halls numerous dark cupboards! CHRISTMAS AT THORNTON HALL is a country house rom com for the modern age, a must-read for fans of the scandals and drama of Downton Abbey and the charm and wit of Helen Fielding.
