A new author to me. Wasn't sure what to expect but quite enjoyed the story - it didn't grip me but reasonably entertaining.

I was looking for a great holiday read, Christmas Cravings turned out to be a fun and fast read. Thanks for giving me the chance to read and review. I really enjoyed the characters and the writing style.

A very short standalone novel which is part of a larger series. As I hadn't read any of the other books, I was new to Mia and her problems, but it was not difficult to see how the story had progressed so far. The story wasn't a complicated one, and things were resolved a long way before the end, but it made an okay short read, although I would have preferred more interesting recipes.

Mia is visiting the Christmas markets in Germany with her friend Lizzie while trying to figure out what happened between herself and Tom that he stopped talking to her. Lizzie and her boyfriend Matt manage to get Mia and Tom face-to-face so they can figure out the truth.

This appears to be a continuation of a story I haven’t read. I am sure if someone had read the previous, related books they would get more out of this one. It was an ARC off of NetGalley so there were some writing/grammatical errors that were hopefully fixed in editing.

I wasn’t really drawn into the story, partly from not knowing the characters, partly the UK language I am not familiar with.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for providing this review copy in exchange for an honest review.

This is a standalone novella for the Greedily Yours series. As it’s such a short read it was nice and easy to get through without having to give too much thought to it! I haven’t read any of the other books in the series before this one, so didn’t really know any of the characters or back stories, but there are some flashbacks to help explain it.

It was a sweet, fun read centring around Mia, a food blogger in search of the love of a good man. It has a lot of food references in it (obviously!) so don’t read it on an empty stomach. As it was so short, there wasn’t much of a plot but it was enough to keep me interested for an hour or so it took to finish the book! Great reading for a cold winter’s night!

This was a quick read for me and I have to say that it was sort of confusing at time with the flashbacks and all, but I assumed that this was just a fun Christmas novel so that is how I went into this one. I thought it was cute and fun for a quick read!

Mia and Tom are in a long-distance relationship. It once had all the steamy feelings one want with a relationship and now it has gone cold as the snow that is falling in Germany. Mia and her friend Lizzy are visiting Germany right now for the holidays. When Tom all the sudden stops communicating with Mia, she is left wondering what is going on. We know that Tom's father is ill and that both Mia and Tom have very busy lives.

I enjoyed this fun read and appreciated the humor that Emma Hamilton threw into this one to make it humorous. Just have an open mind when you go into this one and I think you will enjoy it as I did.

I was disappointed with this book as it was not what I was expecting. Unusually i didn't finish it.

I enjoyed this story. I haven’t read anything else in the greedily yours series but after this I will be.

It was an easy read something to pick up and put down again when you need to get on with work.

I wasn’t sure I could guess the ending and had to keep reading to the end to find out what happened. It was a lovely short story that made me want to read the series it belongs to.

It is a standalone story so no need to read the others but after reading this you will no doubt want to read the rest of them.

I was really looking forward to reading this - which I tried during Christmas 2015 and gave up, I tried again Christmas 2016 and I gave up once again. Just not a story for me. Sorry.
