I gave up on the first book in the series The Cornish Midwife after a few pages as it seemed a bit lightweight， however I’m very glad I went back to it and am now totally enthralled by Jo Bartlett’s Port Agnes and all its characters。 This latest book certainly didn’t disappoint with the usual mix of drama， comedy and real life issues。 Jo has hit on a winning formula for her books and they tend to follow a similar pattern， however the story telling is lively and involving and the characters are b I gave up on the first book in the series The Cornish Midwife after a few pages as it seemed a bit lightweight， however I’m very glad I went back to it and am now totally enthralled by Jo Bartlett’s Port Agnes and all its characters。 This latest book certainly didn’t disappoint with the usual mix of drama， comedy and real life issues。 Jo has hit on a winning formula for her books and they tend to follow a similar pattern， however the story telling is lively and involving and the characters are believable and well drawn。 The romances help too - Hamish is now up there with Dan as my favourite of the various boyfriends。 Keep these books coming， please - we need to know what happens to Nadia and Hamish and there’s also the small matter of Dan and Ella’s wedding！ 。。。more

This is a fun romance that's great for the lead up to the festive period。 This is by a new to me author， but I did like the authors writing style， it was fast paced and made the story enjoyable to read。 Although it is part of a series I found it easy enough to read standalone。Definitely a good one for fans of Christmas contemporary romances。 This is a fun romance that's great for the lead up to the festive period。 This is by a new to me author， but I did like the authors writing style， it was fast paced and made the story enjoyable to read。 Although it is part of a series I found it easy enough to read standalone。Definitely a good one for fans of Christmas contemporary romances。 。。。more

Those who are continuing with this Cornish Midwife series will be able to follow on directly from book five which left us wondering what was going to happen next for this lovely group of women。。。 and for those of you who are new to the series。。。what took you so long！Nadia has returned from New Zealand with her two children and is adjusting to her new life after her failed marriage。 In the course of her work as a midwife， Nadia comes into contact with Dr。 Hamish Spencer， himself a single parent， Those who are continuing with this Cornish Midwife series will be able to follow on directly from book five which left us wondering what was going to happen next for this lovely group of women。。。 and for those of you who are new to the series。。。what took you so long！Nadia has returned from New Zealand with her two children and is adjusting to her new life after her failed marriage。 In the course of her work as a midwife， Nadia comes into contact with Dr。 Hamish Spencer， himself a single parent， and from the outset the two of them just have a special connection but with a rebellious teenager on the scene and a whole heap of other problems， the course of true love is never going to run smoothly。 However， as we have come to expect these stories are not all about hearts and flowers and whilst there is a lovely will they， won't they feel to the romance， there are also some serious elements and certainly one emotional story-line which tugs away at the heartstrings。As always the story takes you right into the heart of the Port Agnes community and I especially love how the author pulls all the threads of the series together and whilst there is always a new central story we do find time to catch up with all the other characters who have featured in previous stories。 Whilst there is a distinctly festive feel to Mistletoe and Magic for the Cornish Midwife， it's not so christmassy that you can't enjoy the story whatever the time of year。 。。。more

Another great entry in the Cornish Midwife series， this time featuring Frankie’s daughter Nadia who has returned from New Zealand with her two kids after the breakup of her marriage。 Family drama， romance， and the stories of pregnant women facing difficulties， make for an emotional read。

I was really looking forward to reading this book as I've enjoyed all of the books in the Cornish Midwife series so far and this didn't disappoint。 As with every other book there are emotional moments that may have you reaching for the tissues， especially if you've been in a similar position yourself， but Jo has the greatest network of characters that help to support each other through things and I find that even as a reader you can feel comforted by this。Nadia is such a lovely woman and her car I was really looking forward to reading this book as I've enjoyed all of the books in the Cornish Midwife series so far and this didn't disappoint。 As with every other book there are emotional moments that may have you reaching for the tissues， especially if you've been in a similar position yourself， but Jo has the greatest network of characters that help to support each other through things and I find that even as a reader you can feel comforted by this。Nadia is such a lovely woman and her caring nature is second to none， the way she's there for Ginny at every step of her journey is really touching and goes to show that some friendships are really special and just because theres a gap in time or distance doesn't mean that the friendship has to suffer。 When we meet Hamish you can see the buzz straight away， I got that tingling feeling that something special was about to happen but you can see that neither him or Nadia are in the right place for a new relationship。 Their friendship is so lovely though and the way that Remi and Daisy get along is just magical， even if Saffy doesn't quite have the same reaction！ The costume scene made me chuckle as I would definitely be the one with their fingers glued together very quickly！ I love the idea of crafts but practically they never go quite as planned。。。One thing I really like about Jo's book is her side characters and sub stories as these are almost the butter to the book sandwich， sticking everything together and creating such a good filling。 Anne-Marie and Liam were a clear example of this and they warmed my heart with how much their relationship had developed and grown， although I'm not quite sure I could manage six kids！ We also get plenty of appearances from the other midwives and I love hearing the updates of what they're up to， their families and the growing number of children！Jo has created such a lovely world with these books and I really hope they continue for a while yet， I'm still saving myself for Gwen's story！！！ 。。。more

This is the first book in the series I have read， and I wish I had read them all from the beginning as that would have enhanced my reading of this particular book。 Having said that though， this reads perfectly well as a standalone as well。First up， I really liked that it was written from the POV of Nadia， her mother Frankie and Hamish， the new dishy doctor in the village。 I would have expected the whole book to be about Nadia and Hamish and their developing friendship/relationship but it was lov This is the first book in the series I have read， and I wish I had read them all from the beginning as that would have enhanced my reading of this particular book。 Having said that though， this reads perfectly well as a standalone as well。First up， I really liked that it was written from the POV of Nadia， her mother Frankie and Hamish， the new dishy doctor in the village。 I would have expected the whole book to be about Nadia and Hamish and their developing friendship/relationship but it was lovely to have the character of Frankie in there as well - an older woman who is dating again AND studying。 I found myself cheering Frankie on， all the way。 However， I wanted her to not get so upset about her son's behaviour - but perhaps that was more of a cultural thing or the way she had been brought up by her dreadful mother。 When you have been conditioned since childhood to behave a certain way， it is hard to change。 Still and all， she was quite a woman and her relationship with Guy made me smile :）Nadia is an amazing midwife and mother and I admired her as well。 I liked that the path of the relationship with Hamish did not run smooth， just like it does in real life。 A lovely， Christmassy story。The only thing that would have made it better for me was an epilogue - although， if there is another book in the series， that would be lovely and will take care of the "what happens next" aspect of things :）4。5 stars from me。Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books。 。。。more

Back from New Zealand with her two small children after her marriage fell apart， now living with her mother Frankie in the tiny flat above the Cookie Jar cafe， Nadia’s desperately trying to be a good mother while wrestling with the demands of her work as a midwife。 But six year old Remi has settled particularly well， firm friends with Daisy – they’re so lovely together – who happens to be the daughter of the local doctor， Hamish Spencer。 There’s a bit of a spark between them when they first meet Back from New Zealand with her two small children after her marriage fell apart， now living with her mother Frankie in the tiny flat above the Cookie Jar cafe， Nadia’s desperately trying to be a good mother while wrestling with the demands of her work as a midwife。 But six year old Remi has settled particularly well， firm friends with Daisy – they’re so lovely together – who happens to be the daughter of the local doctor， Hamish Spencer。 There’s a bit of a spark between them when they first meet， both running late for the after-school pick up – and she’s very glad he gave her his mobile number when one of the expectant mothers she cares for needs an urgent appointment， and even more grateful for his ongoing support throughout a particularly emotional journey。 As that storyline unfolds， Nadia’s finding it difficult to cope with her husband’s disengagement and the children’s disappointment when he fails to keep in touch – and Hamish is also a single parent， with a great deal of sadness in his past， a particular understanding of the work problem Nadia’s managing， and with his life considerably complicated by a teenage daughter who’s particularly protective。We watch the development of the relationship between Nadia and Hamish – a couple who are really meant to find happiness together （oh， that kiss！） – while also following the stories， one of them particularly heartbreaking， of Nadia’s mothers-to-be。 And， in the background， we also get to pick up the stories of all the other familiar characters from this lovely series – Nadia’s mother Frankie’s relationship with the lovely Guy （Jess’ father – and that’s another couple just made for each other）， Izzy and Noah’s story （will he decide to stay in Port Agnes？）， and Gwen’s hilarious adventures in the world of competitive dancing。 You might choose to read this book as a standalone， perhaps to see why this series is so loved – you could easily do so， but I do think you might feel less engaged with some of the back stories that have made all the individuals feel like friends。The storyline that brings Nadia and Hamish together – Genevieve’s difficult choice， and its possible consequences – is told with exceptional sensitivity， totally heartbreaking and extremely moving。 But there are several other stories that engage at an emotional level too， something the author does so very well。 It’s Christmas， always a time of heightened emotions – but there’s plenty of humour and lightness too， much of it focused on Gwen’s absence of filter， but with the preparations for the nativity play （fur， hot glue guns， competitive mothers…） running a close second。 The romance I was hoping for certainly has its obstacles and a few surprises along the way， but I thought it was all quite perfectly handled。This is such a lovely series， and this book really was the perfect addition – with all those wonderful characters and the many stories from the maternity unit， I do hope it’ll continue for some time to come。 I’m looking forward to my next visit already… 。。。more

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of Mistletoe and Magic for the Cornish Midwife by Jo Bartlett。 All thoughts and opinions are my own。 Thanks to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for this ARC。I had a lot of problems connecting with the characters in this novel。 Nadia and Dr。 Hammish were a good match， but their romance was a slow burn， and I couldn't stay invested。 I will admit that it might be my problem and not an actual issue with the writing。 It seemed to be well-written and there I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of Mistletoe and Magic for the Cornish Midwife by Jo Bartlett。 All thoughts and opinions are my own。 Thanks to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for this ARC。I had a lot of problems connecting with the characters in this novel。 Nadia and Dr。 Hammish were a good match， but their romance was a slow burn， and I couldn't stay invested。 I will admit that it might be my problem and not an actual issue with the writing。 It seemed to be well-written and there were no obvious reasons why I didn't enjoy it。 So， in other words， give it a try yourself and see how it hits you。 。。。more

One more gem from Jo Bartlett 。 An other story about a mother and daughter who are both midwives 。 In this book the theme is life after divorce and how women with young children cope 。 It talk about pregnancy and cancer and what the mother to be has to suffer 。 I just loved it 。I received this book from net galley and the publisher as an ARC。 Thank you！ All thoughts and opinions are my own。

After her husband leaves her for another woman， Nadia， a midwife and mother， moved back to Port Agnes with her children and is currently living with her mom。 While picking up her daughter from daycare， Nadia runs into a fellow single parent， Hamish， who ends up being the doctor of her friend and midwife patient who is diagnosed with cancer。 As they are constantly thrown together， they develop a friendship （and maybe something more？）， that is put to the test through their journeys of single paren After her husband leaves her for another woman， Nadia， a midwife and mother， moved back to Port Agnes with her children and is currently living with her mom。 While picking up her daughter from daycare， Nadia runs into a fellow single parent， Hamish， who ends up being the doctor of her friend and midwife patient who is diagnosed with cancer。 As they are constantly thrown together， they develop a friendship （and maybe something more？）， that is put to the test through their journeys of single parenthood。 And no matter what happens， Nadia is going to make sure that her children have the best Christmas ever。 My favorite aspect of this book was the wide variety of the characters and the way that Jo Bartlett developed each one， even if they were only a part of the story for a chapter or two。 Also， Nadia is such an amazing midwife and mother。 Her love for her patients is so evident and she always goes above and beyond to make sure they get the best care they can。 And she is always looking out for the best interest of her children。 I can't even begin to imagine the self-restraint it takes to not bash her soon-to-be ex-husband to her children。 Instead， she always considers what is best for her children， when it would be a lot easier to just say how awful he is。 One negative is that it was often confusing which point of view I was currently reading。 This book was written in third person and switches between three characters's point of view: Nadia， Frankie， and Hamish。 And I was constantly flipping back a page or two to remind myself which point of view I was currently reading。 I also wish that there was an epilogue a couple of months or years in the future， so that I could know how Nadia's and Hamish's relationship worked out。 But， I'm not sure I can classify wanting more of a book as a negative。 Thank you Jo Bartlett， Boldwood Books， and NetGalley for the digital ARC for review！ I'm excited to read more of this series！ 。。。more

A great read with a a wide variety of characters and a heartwarming storyline that had plenty of bumps along the way。 The main characters were Nadia， a midwife， who has returned home from New Zealand with her two children after her marriage breaks down and Hamish is a single dad who is also the dishy local GP。 There is an instant attraction but will anything come of it？ There are plenty of other stories involving the other characters but this certainly didn’t make it tricky to follow。 I thought A great read with a a wide variety of characters and a heartwarming storyline that had plenty of bumps along the way。 The main characters were Nadia， a midwife， who has returned home from New Zealand with her two children after her marriage breaks down and Hamish is a single dad who is also the dishy local GP。 There is an instant attraction but will anything come of it？ There are plenty of other stories involving the other characters but this certainly didn’t make it tricky to follow。 I thought it all flowed really well and in my opinion all the other stories were very relevant。 A real sense of respect， commitment and community came through。 I loved how Nadia and Hamish put their children first。 Thank you to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more
