Lilac mills mills never disappoints i just wish the book was longer.

This author always creates characters you cannot helped but love

Fun, although unbelievable story. Some of the characters a bit much at times, but overall an easy Christmas read.

First of all, how beautifully festive is this cover? It’s so cosy and inviting – I love it!
I decided to dedicate some #beatthebacklog time to reading Christmas books and I am so pleased this was the first one from my jar. A Very Lucky Christmas is a fun, festive romance which had me giggling throughout.
Daisy Jones is not having a good time of it! Finding her boyfriend entangled in the arms of another and then losing her job, she moves in with her slightly bitter, man hating gran and mother where she is frequently compared to her perfect brother. When her great-gran teaches her how to make a Christmas pudding, will the lucky sixpence change Daisy's life?
I really felt for Daisy in this book – she couldn’t seem to catch a break. Everything around her was going wrong. The bigger things really made me angry on her behalf but some of the smaller mishaps and misunderstandings were hilarious and had me chuckling away. Daisy was such a sweet character and I really wanted things to go right for her.
I enjoyed all the character in this book but I really developed a soft spot for Zoe who reminds us not to judge a book by it’s cover and also Gee Gee (Great nan) as she provided plenty of laughs.
Set against the backdrop of Christmas, the festive season gives this book a cosy feel. It’s not a big part of the story but really brings warmth and character to the plot.
I loved this Christmas romantic comedy and highly recommend you grab your copy and head into December with it on your reading list.

A Very Lucky Christmas was a nice, quick read.

This Christmas Daisy Jones seems haunted by bad luck, but like you said "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" and stronger she becomes.
It was fun to follow her journey, reading about all her misfortune and how she handled them.

Daisy and her family are a funny group of characters, I've enjoyed their bantering even if at times they are too chaotic.

It was Christmas in July and I did need some cold air.

Unfortunately I was unable to get in to this story and had to put it down, however, I'm sure it is a highly loved book and appreciated by the right readers.

Lilac Mills has learned the arduous art of captivating her audiences’ attention and keeping us riveted until the very end wanting more. A Very Lucky Christmas was comical yet romantic; quirky yet entertaining. I genuinely enjoy the characters and their development. Zoe surprised me as an enterprising intellectual and I loved the interesting addition to the plot her character provided. Thanks to ‘a Very Lucky Christmas, I’ll be on the lookout for Lilac Mills’ other pieces. Thank you to the author, publisher, and Netgalley for allowing me the privilege of reading and reviewing this novel.

Warm and cosy read, perfect to get you into the Christmas spirit! Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the advance copy.

A lovely little read to get you into the season and Christmas feel.
Heartwarming and addictive. Would recommend reading with a glass of mulled wine and a cosy blanket.

I remember the days of the silver sixpences in the Xmas Pud.
Lucky if you don't choke on it or swallow it that is.
This is a romance with some ick factor but otherwise very cosy.
Not high storytelling but a nice duvet day read.

A very festive read, it made me smile, laugh and even nod in agreement. Great plot and characters who were believeable!

Thirty year old Daisy Jones is happy and the fiancé of Freddie, her boyfriend who she lives with. It's the run up to Christmas and life should be peachy, right? Wrong.

Daisy's festive preparations are interrupted when she and Freddie break up when she finds him in bed with another man. This is definitely not what she expected.

This is a wake up call of the worst kind for Daisy and the last thing she needs at this time of year. Daisy finds herself forced to move back in with her mum, Sandra and her grandmother, Elsie. Daisy,and her younger brother David, a dentist, are living completely different lives. He and his wife Zoe live in a house he saved up for long and hard.

With Daisy's family, especially her mother and grandmother being severely lacking in sympathy and support for Daisy's new situation due to they themselves not trusting men, Daisy feels far from great.

Inevitably, there's a moment when they must have a Christmas meal. During this, Daisy's Gran suggests planting a sixpence in the Christmas pudding.

A short while later, Daisy is in A&E and being treated by a handsome doctor. Is he the answer to her problems in life?

A Very Lucky Christmas was SO funny and true-to-life. I automatically liked Daisy and identified with her in her enthusiasm for shopping and pampering. The Christmas preparation and atmosphere was so cosily and accurately described that I wanted to be there with Daisy. The family situation and how they acted was so realistic too.

When things started to go wrong for Daisy, I felt angry at Freddie and was glad Daisy got out of the situation as soon as possible. I was also glad her family was there for her and she was able to go back to her mum's. I identified with the feeling of feeling less than family members or starting to compare oneself.

This book had a romantic theme yet was very Christmas-orientated and, I felt, the best of both worlds. It has humour, realism, great character development and really made me feel for Daisy. I was cheering her on and would have loved to have been Christmas shopping with her.

A Very Lucky Christmas is everything a good Christmas book should be, heartwarming, hilarious and true-to-life. The atmosphere is amazing. Christmas decorations, the very English feel of the Christmas meal, and even the air freshener smelt festive. The book oozes Christmas charm and mishaps in equal measure and the cover is absolutely GORGEOUS. Eye-catching and colourful. I'm always ficusing on covers before choosing a novel and this just said REVIEW ME! I am glad I did.

Lilac Mills writes in a way which makes her words flow off the page and she gets right to the heart of the characters and their relationships and the desceiptions of the Christmas tree, decorations and excitement over wrapping gifts resonated with me as, no matter how many years pass, I am like a big kid when it comes to Christmas. I was relishing in the book.

Thanks so much to Lilac Mills and Canelo for my ARC in exchange for an honest and voluntary review. 5 sparkling stars. Loved it!

A perfect Christmas feelgood novel. This is the second novel by Lilac Mills I have reviewed.

Loved this little Christmas book. Things go from bad to worse for sweet daisy. You will find yourself rooting for her. Throughout this whole story. There are so many silly twists and turns and lots of misunderstandings.

This little story is a nice one for Christmas and the entire holiday season. Daisy seems to have gotten several bad rounds of luck this year, but even that can't beat the holiday season. It ends with a happy ending and all the negative gets transformed into good luck!

Daisy's life is a disaster she has split up with her boyfriend and had to move back in with get mother and then to add insult to injury she swallows the sixpence from the Christmas pudding and ends ip in A and E.......... but actually maybe things are looking up when she is treated by Noah the rather gorgeous doctor!

A lovely warm festive book which is as much comedy as romance and great to curl up in front of the fire with

My favorite time of year is by favorite time of year by far and this sweet and funny story hits all the notes! I loved it!

When you think it can’t get any worse, Daisy finds it can. When you are thinking engagement ring and find out he is gay, running home to mom, aunt and grandmother who are man haters doesn’t help. I thought the story was super cute. I really enjoyed this book.

very cute, funny, cozy Christmas read!

though i read it after Christmas, it still got me into the vibe of the festive season!!

Definite read during December, next to your fireplace!! :)

This book is a light, read, predictable, but fun. Good to read to get you into the holiday spirit, but don't expect any big revelations.

A Very Lucky Christmas is a cute cozy mystery. No surprises here, but it's overall charming and fun. The characters are loveable. The plot is engaging and will keep you reading. Perfect for cozy mystery fans. Thanks to NetGalley for an arc in exchange for an honest review.

What’s it About? Daisy's Christmas is not so Merry - she's going through a messy breakup and had to move back in with her mum, and then she chokes on the sixpence in the Christmas Pudding and ends up in A&E which is even more embarrassing because the Dr is so dishy. (I love that word - I'm always telling my best guy that he's dishy!)

What I liked The cover is fun, and the story is ok - I flew through it, and Daisy was a nice enough character that I was rooting for her and I am such a sucker for a comedy Grandma (Grandma Mazur anyone) and only those with a heart of stone don't like a Christmas romance, right? RIGHT?

What I liked Less Could it have been any more predictable. OMG. Also Noah has to be the worst doctor to the point that his incompetence really distracted from the story for me and it just became tedious. I skim read a lot of this book, and rolled my eyes more than I would like.
