Coming Home to Merriment Bay: Part Three: Christmas Kindle Edition

by Emily Harvale (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 2,495 ratings
Part Three of this heartwarming four-part serial about finding the strength to put the past behind you and to reach out for a future filled with happiness and love.

Cat and Kyra have finally traced the man in the photo they found in Viola’s trunk – thanks to Amias. But Bailey Mitchell lives thousands of miles away and is almost ninety-eight, so meeting him in person is never going to happen. Which is just as well. Exchanging Christmas cards and chatting on social media leads to revelations Cat had not expected.

At least Christmas is looking promising. It may be freezing outside but things have definitely thawed between Cat and her mum, Mary. They’re actually getting on, especially now that Mary is dating Jeremy Stone, the builder working on Viola’s house.

Cat’s also hopeful that Viola’s situation may improve. And when a surprise visitor brings more than just well wishes, Cat’s Christmas takes a delightful turn.

With the festivities in full swing, and snow falling on Merriment Bay, the future’s looking bright. Christmas is a time for miracles and Cat believes she may get one of her own this year if she’s prepared to put the past behind her and open her heart to Love once more.

This is Part Three of a new, four-part serial. The parts are:
Coming Home to Merriment Bay - Part One: A Reunion
Coming Home to Merriment Bay - Part Two: Sparks Fly
Coming Home to Merriment Bay - Part Three: Christmas
Coming Home to Merriment Bay - Part Four: Starry Skies

This is a novel told in four parts. It forms Book One in Emily Harvale's Merriment Bay series which is interconnected to her Wyntersleap series. Each series can be read alone, but several characters appear in both series.

    Being a grown-up, I have no patience with people twisting themselves and everyone around them in emotional knots. Make a decision, I'll think about it tomorrow, and never resolving anything. Is unhealthy. If your going to have to grieve, let it be over the truth of situation, not over missed questions or facts. . Regrets, never solve anything. Fearful, selfish people hurt to many others. I also realize in this type of book, it's a plot line. But over using it and stringing readers along, goes from tortured characters, to torturing your readers. 😕.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A fabulously entertaining and heart warming read.
    Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2019
    Yay! Was so great to be back in Merriment Bay with all the characters again and at the most festive time of the year.

    The storyline carries on from where we left off in the previous book of which I couldn’t wait to find out more about the story line to do with Bailey and Viola. Also I was dying to see if romance was finally about to flourish between Cat and Amias.

    They do say that the path of love is never a smooth one. This couldn’t be truer when it comes to Cat. I have to admit to wanting to give her a good shake more than a few times through out this novel. I found myself wanting to scream and shout at her as she made decisions that I knew would end up causing her heart ache. Kyra her daughter, for a teenager, has her head well and truly screwed on and thankfully was saying everything that I was wanting to.

    The sense of Christmas, families and relationships is very strong throughout the story. I love the relationships within Cat’s family and whilst loved ones may think their actions are for the best, they sometimes can be for more selfish reasons. This isn’t some perfect family that we see portrayed so many times in these kind of books, but a more realistic one where readers can relate to.

    Coming Home To Merriment Bay: Part Three: Christmas is a story that really got my emotions going. These are characters that have got into my heart and under my skin and it was like tuning into my favourite soap. Knowing that there is only one more book to come fills me with me both excitement and sadness. A fabulously entertaining and heart warming read.

    Thanks to Rachel’s Random resources for an advanced readers copy of this book. All opinions are my own and not biased in anyway.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 2, 2019

    I have read, reviewed and loved the first two parts of the ‘Coming Home To Merriment Bay’ series and I couldn’t wait to get my mitts on a copy of the third part of the series called ‘Christmas’. Well ladies and gents the wait is over because the third part of the series called ‘Christmas’ was released on 12th November 2019. It is another cracking read in what is proving to be a fabulous series. I thoroughly enjoyed reading ‘Christmas’ but more about that in a bit.
    As soon as I began to read, I felt as though I had been reunited with old friends in the shape of the various characters. It didn’t take me long to pick up from where I had left off with their respective stories. I could remember who was who and what they were doing in the previous episode. That might sound silly to some but I often find that when I read a story that consists of episodes/ parts I find myself having to flick back to previous parts of the story to remind myself who was who and what they were doing at that time. That certainly wasn’t the case with this book.
    I soon became addicted to reading this part of the story. As soon as I began to read that was it, I just knew that nothing else was going to get done for the next couple of hours because there was no way that I would be moving until I had finished ‘Christmas’. As this is one part of a bigger story, it isn’t actually that long in length and so it didn’t take me long to get to the end. I was most disappointed to reach the end of part three because it meant that I had to say a temporary farewell to the characters. I soon cheered up when I realised that the fourth part of the serial had just been released and I could start reading it as soon as I had finished this one.
    In short, ‘Coming Home To Merriment Bay: Part Three- Christmas’ is a fabulously fun and festive read, which I thoroughly enjoyed reading. I would definitely recommend this series to other readers. The score on the Ginger Book Geek board is a very well deserved 5* out of 5*.
