This was a gorgeous and extremely cosy book two from Lucy and Jack - I loved being whisked away to all different events and the romance was so delightful.

Caroline Roberts - Mistletoe and Mulled Wine at the Christmas Campervan.

This is book 2 in the Cosy Campervan series. It can be read as a standalone story, but it’s better enjoyed if read in series order.

It was lovely to catch up with Lucy and Jack and follow the next stage of their journey.

The book took a little while to get going, but once it was up and running, it really was a joy to read.

#MistletoeAndMulledWineAtTheChristmasCampervan is a heartwarming story, full of all the festive feels and oodles of delicious sounding pizza and cocktails.
With some endearing characters, a cute dog, a sweet romance and a quirky little campervan, this is a perfect tale to squeeze your heart and put you in the mood for Christmas.

A festive must read.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

With thanks to Netgalley and Harper Collins Uk for a digital arc of this title.

The cutest Christmas read! Just what I needed to read right now, while we’re lurking in the depths of winter here in NZ. Christmas is my favourite holiday so I knew I’d love it, and I did, Lucy and Jack were sweet and relatable. The author writes realistic characters authentically, you really feel you could know them in real life. I haven’t read the first book in this series but I’m off to look it up now. Thanks for such a quirky, adorable read.

It was lovely to reconnect with Lucy and Jack from the previous books in this series. The reader very quickly re-engages with Jack and Lucy which is a credit to Caroline Roberts writing style.
This is a brilliant read, with very loveable characters and animals ! Loved Daisy !
Great storyline which flowed !
Highly recommended

Mistletoe and Mulled Wine at the Christmas Campervan is the continuation of Lucy and Jack's love story, complete with campervans, dogs, and Christmas festivities. I enjoyed reading the next part of their relationships and the ups and downs that they went through. The Christmas season backdrop and all of the pizza/cocktail events once again made this book a lot of fun to read. And after picking this book back up after a long break, I found it very easy to get reacquainted with and invested in the story, which I think is a good nod to the writing style. Readers that liked the first book in the series should check out Mistletoe and Mulled Wine at the Christmas Campervan, it will not disappoint.

Thanks to NetGalley and HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter for this ARC; this is my honest and voluntary review.

A brilliant read and one I really enjoyed. The characters are loveable and varied, the plot is one that is engaging and medium paced. I found myself completely drawn into the story and enjoyed the writing style.

A follow up to The Seaside Cocktail Campervan, and delightful to revisit these characters. Lucy and her pizza horsebox, Jack and the cocktail campervan found romance in the first book but now do we see that the spark has gone out? Both characters have their own struggles, whether it’s old flames, old friends, and questioning if they are right to settle down right now.
I loved them both, great characters and it is a lovely story. I love reading about festive markets, and all the ups and downs of travelling around with each van.
A great story, very festive!

This book is really lovely and sweet with a very nice romance and lots of intense events going on. Although there is quite a lot going on in this book and that the characters are really likeable and that the story is really sweet and sometimes mysterious, I found myself a bit bored at some parts of the book. I would say this book story a bit too long for what it has to tell. This is a shame. I gave this book 4 stars but to be honest I almost gave it 3 stars, but the end was really good and made myself like this book again! I hope the next book by Caroline Roberts will be a bit more exciting, because I really like this author!

Fabulous to be back at the horse box and camper can for a festive instalment! Fun, romantic and festive. A great Christmassy read. Hoping to read more about Lucy and Jack (and of course Daisy) in the future! It was great to see older characters and places popping up in the story too. Great read!

Thank you Netgalley

This is a good book. The two main characters are Lucy and Jack. Lucy and Jack do food camping vans for weddings, birthdays and any kinds of celebrations. This is how they meet. Lucy has a pizza venture and Jack has a cocktail venture. There is an instant attraction. They have been dating for several months. They each have issues but together they work them out and fall in love.

A really enjoyable read, which was a great follow up to the first part of the story of Lucy and Jack. I hope we can revisit again in the future.

If you have read Caroline Roberts' previous books you'll love the fact that you see the characters from the Cosy Christmas Chocolate Shop, the Teashop at the Castle and Rachel's Pudding Pantry all make an appearance in this book. If you haven't read her previous work it won't impact you at all so don't let it put you off.

Mistletoe and Mulled Wine at the Christmas Campervan is the second book in the Cosy Campervan series and continues following the working and personal lives of Lucy and Jack. All is not plain sailing for the pair of them and Lucy experiences some work life drama and doubts that her with relationship can go the distance.

The Christmas feel of this book is lovely and the characters develop in ways that you might not expect. Another great book by Caroline Roberts and I sincerely look forward to reading the next book in the series.

A wonderful Christmassy read, engaging and enjoyable. It is the 2nd book in the series but can be read as a stand alone. I have loved the series by Caroline Roberts. Well written book with great characters and a feel good story. Cute romance with Lucy and Jack

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for an ARC

It was great to see what happened next with Lucy and Jack even if there are a few bumps in the road and a creepy ex to contend with and I loved the cameo appearances of Rachel and her Mum from the Pudding Pantry! It's a bit of a different Christmas read as it focuses on how to navigate a happy ever after on a day to day basis, but it's definitely worth it! Also you can't beat the food and drink references and recipes. Highly recommend.

Another superb story from Caroline Roberts. Part of the cosy camper van series this can easily be read as a standalone, although I’ve loved meeting up with Lucy and Jack again.
Caroline Roberts writes such heartwarming stories and the settings of the fayres and events attended by our main characters made for such a wonderful story. I loved seeing how Lucy and Jack’s relationship developed and how we had the interactions of others in the story to support the two of them.

The Seaside Cocktail Campervan (part 1 in the Cozy Campervan series) was one of my favorite easy-breezy summer reads for it brought a lovely story, with some actual real life issues, set against the beautiful background of food truck festivals and yummy foods and cocktails. As such, I was so happy to find out there was to be a continuation of Jack and Lucy's story, set against Autumn/Christmas type events.

When it comes to Mistletoe and Mulled Wine at the Christmas Campervan, Caroline Roberts does not disappoint in instantly bringing me back to the feeling I had reading part 1. The foods and cocktails are described so scrumptiously and the atmosphere leaks of the pages of the book.

That being said, I had a bit of a tough time getting into the story of the book, and was thinking about stopping my read several times. Where the first book is all about Jack and Lucy and their respective businesses thriving, with a bit of wonderment whether or not the two will get together, this one presents much more inner turmoil. Will Jack be ready to settle down with Lucy? Will Lucy be able to trust Jack and will her friendship with Becky make it through it all? Once the story got going, I found that I could nestle in it and enjoy the ride. The story wasn't mind blowing, but I am here for the setting 100%.

This was my first Caroline Roberts books and I wasn't disappointed! Quick and easy read with just the right amount of romance and wit. And of course, the perfect amount of Christmas spirit to get you in the mood for the holidays. This is the second book in a series, but I had no trouble reading it as a standalone. I'm a fan of just about anything that's set in the UK and the setting for this was perfect! The characters were well developed and have just the right amount of flaws to make them relatable. I'd recommend this for any fans of cozy romcoms or anyone looking for a quick Christmas read to take their mind off all the hustle and bustle of the holidays!
