Book Review: Christmas at the Borrow a Bookshop, by Kiley Dunbar

As per usual in December, I crave British cozy Christmas romance books, and Christmas at the Borrow a Bookshop, by Kiley Dunbar ended up being the one I read at Christmas time here.

Magnús Sturluson used to own a bookshop in Iceland, but had to close down. He’s dealing with depression, and is sent off to England by family to “borrow” a bookshop there. Alexandra Robinson has stranded in the same town, after running away from her life on a boat. They’re drawn towards each other, but it’s not without problems…

It was perfect as my December read! Also – Icelandic hero! So cozy! This as a great Christmas read! 😍🎄📚
