Christmas at the Island Hotel
Book Feature - Christmas at the Island Hotel by Jenny Colgan
HBL Note: The second Christmas book I’m featuring this week is Christmas at the Island Hotel by Jenny Colgan (another Jenny writing great holiday books!) One of my favorite things about Christmas in Chicago is the way hotels decorate. They have some of the most beautiful and elegant Christmas decorations with lots of greenery and twinkling lights. I hope they still go all out this year even though travel is down due to COVID. Christmas at the Island Hotel is another royalty falls for commoner story but this one is served with a side of delicious food and a charming hotel. Scroll down to read more.

From the publisher:
On the tiny, beautiful, and remote island of Mure, halfway between Scotland and Norway, a new hotel opening is a big event. New mother Flora MacKenzie and her brother Fintan are working themselves half to death to get it ready in time for Christmas.
The new hotel’s impressive kitchens throw together two unlikely new friends: Isla Gregor is the hardworking young girl who has been a waitress in the island's cafe, dreaming of a bigger, better life now that she’s at a proper fancy hotel. Konstantin Pederson is working his way up in the hotel's kitchens too…but he is also, secretly, the only son of the Duke of Utsire. Konstantin has been sent to learn what it is to work hard for a living, before receiving his inheritance. Although he’s initially resentful, the place grows on him; he has never met anyone quite like Isla and her fellow Murians before.
As the island’s residents and special VIP guests gather for the hotel’s grand opening gala, Christmas is in the air. But so are more than a few small-town secrets…
