It's Christmas at The Cornish Confetti Agency!
When Lexie Harrington is asked to choreograph Phoebe and Sam’s Christmas-themed wedding, she can’t wait to create the perfect winter wonderland - elegantly dressed fir trees, glossy garlands of holly and mistletoe, baskets of yule logs and pine cones, and the mouth-watering fragrance of gingerbread, cinnamon sticks and warm mulled wine floating through the air.
With handsome wedding columnist-cum-fledgling scriptwriter Theo Barker at her side, she’s confident that she can create the perfect festive ambience the bride and groom have been dreaming of since their engagement in the Swiss Alps; no rampant hosepipes, no mechanical mice, no confetti-filled hairdryers.
But this is The Cornish Confetti Agency, and the words ‘plain-sailing’ and ‘hassle-free’ do not feature in the promotional brochure. So, when a much-loved portrait of the groom’s father is adorned with pirate eye-patches and black plastic moustaches, and his expensive cologne is switched for toilet cleaner, Lexie and Theo must once again don their metaphorical deerstalkers and unravel the mystery before the wedding dissolves into Christmas-themed chaos and calamity.
A perfect Christmas wedding?
Is there such a thing for The Cornish Confetti Agency?
A glittery, feel-good story perfect for the festive season, and the third book in The Cornish Confetti Agency series.
Christmas at the Cornish Confetti Agency, was a sweet, fun book to read with a cup of hot chocolate or my favorite coffee, cinnamon sugar cookie, which just returned to store shelves for the season. I love a good holiday romance and this one hit all the right notes. We have a lovely, snowy setting, happy couples, Christmas trees, cookies, and mulled wine.
This is the third in the series and starts right in with the lead-up to Phoebe and Sam’s Christmas wedding. This is first I’ve read and it did take me a little while to feel comfortable with who the characters are and their relationships to each other. Once I got to know them, though, it’s a fabulous group, fun to spend time with. Lexie is, temporarily, a wedding planner, and she wants this wedding to be perfect. I loved all of the activities leading up to the wedding party, like decorating Christmas trees and making gingerbread creations. The wedding party all joins in the fun. It made me want to be there too.
The tension here is not with any of the couples, which is nice. No big secrets, no will-they/won’t they. Someone though is trying to sabotage the wedding, and Lexie, with her boyfriend Theo, needs to figure out who before the pranks become more serious. There are several suspects including the bride’s brother or her maid of honor. Even this little mystery was solved well and everything was resolved without ruining the Christmas spirit of the book. Happy endings all around.
Honestly, this book just made me smile. It was a wonderful way to start my holiday reading and I’m looking forward to picking up the next.
About Daisy James
Daisy James loves writing stories with strong heroines and swift-flowing plotlines. She especially likes to create sunshine-filled settings in exotic locations – the Caribbean, Tuscany, Cornwall, Provence – so she can spend her time envisioning her characters enjoying the fabulous scenery and sampling the local food and drink.
When not scribbling away in her peppermint-and-green summerhouse (garden shed), she spends her time sifting flour and sprinkling sugar and edible glitter. She loves gossiping with friends over a glass of something fizzy or indulging in a spot of afternoon tea – china plates and teacups are a must.
A massive thank you, Carol, for your wonderful review of Christmas at the Cornish Confetti Agency – I’m thrilled you enjoyed spending time with Lexie & Theo. Love Daisy xx
I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’ve added the next to my to-read list.
Thanks for yet another idea for my Christmas reading list. That this one actually sounds Christmassy is promising.
It was fun and light.
