Guest book review by Carly Louise Wilson
‘Snowfall at Moonglow’ is the first book that I have read by Deborah Garner, and I was given a copy in exchange for an honest review.
The book is about the Timberton Hotel, a place where guests are gathering for a peaceful winter break over Christmas and the festive season. The owner Mist, is an artist and goes all out to spread some festive cheer and make the guests welcome. She provides amazing cuisine catering to each of the guests tastes, and puts treasures and trinkets in their rooms to enable them to recapture some of their youth, or to make their stay have that extra personal touch.
The story was a real positive feel good read, it was not only about the community of Timberton getting together to celebrate, but also the guests- some of which who have travelled from across the world. Each guest provides their own element of interest and quirk, and you know that Mist is preparing something extra special for her guests to embrace on Christmas Day. Her romance with Michael is that extra added cherry of cuteness on this sweet read.
I would recommend this book to a reader looking to get into the festive spirit. It was a quick read and left me feeling very positive and excited for the lead up to Christmas.

Mistletoe at Moonglow, The Moonglow Christmas Series, Book 1
The Timberton Hotel has always provided a perfect Christmas retreat for regular guests, as well as newcomers. But the small town of Timberton, Montana, hasn't been the same since resident chef and artist, Mist, arrived, bringing a unique new age flavor to the old western town.
When guests check in for the holidays, they bring along worries, fears and broken hearts, unaware that Mist has a way of working magic in people's lives. Old-fashioned time spent together, exquisite food, conversation and a snowball or two offer guests a chance to trade sadness for hope. One thing is certain: no matter how cold winter's grip is on each guest, no one leaves Timberton without a warmer heart.

Silver Bells at Moonglow, The Moonglow Christmas Series, Book 2
Christmas at the Timberton Hotel arrives each year with a unique set of guests, some returning, some new. When this holiday brings a celebrity seeking reprieve, sisters who are distant yet closer to each other than they think, a widow approaching a new horizon, and an eclectic smattering of local townsfolk and visiting relatives, the season is certain to be eventful. Add in a hint of romance and there's more than snow in the air around the small Montana town.
Elegant decor and exquisite cuisine from resident artist and chef, Mist, form a backdrop to much needed camaraderie, bringing strangers and friends together. When the last note of Christmas carols has faded away, the soft whisper of silver bells from the front door's wreath will usher guests and townsfolk alike back into the world with hope for the coming year.
