MY REVIEW
Before you get started learning about this book, let me give you my warning. There are 2 explicit sex scenes. When I sign up for a book review, months in advance, I unintentionally select one that is not family-friendly.
Sometimes it’s impossible to tell until you read it yourself. So, I can’t recommend it.
Other than that, this a very sweet and charming book about a couple that meet in odd circumstances. At first glance, they would not be considered a good match.
Isaac is an English Literature teacher in a local high school and appears to be awkward and reserved. But when he wins a Holly Date with Tiffany, he dreads it. He thinks that she won’t like him.
Tiffany found him to be fun and easy to talk to. The Holly Date ended with Tiffany asking him to go to the Ball. He said no, but the next day he changed his mind.
The love story is unexpected by them both, as it was so fast, and then they were inseparable. Tiffany spent most of her time at the Christmas Cottage.
This was the home of Isaac and his grandfather, Jim. After Jim broke his leg, he was hospitalized until Christmas Eve. As Tiffany went home to get more clothes, her mother appeared.
She was determined to marry off Tiffany to a Vicount. There was a lot of arguing. Would Tiffany take the shot at living in the castle with this young man?
As I said at the beginning, this book has sex scenes and is not family-friendly.
Holly Dates at the Christmas Cottage
An unexpected bid for something special this Christmas
Perpetually single events manager Tiffany Barlow is used to being in control. So when she agrees to take part in the Holly Dates Auction at Thistle Lodge, it’s with a very specific goal in mind: to catch a respectable date for a high-profile event at a nearby castle. What she doesn’t expect is a last-minute twist…
Reserved English teacher Isaac Emery is looking forward to a peaceful, cosy winter at his grandpa’s Christmas Cottage, pretending he’s perfectly content with his books for company. When he accidentally wins a Holly Date experience at a festive fundraiser, he finds himself committed to a date with Tiffany – someone way out of his league.
As the glittering winter ball at the castle approaches, Tiffany is torn between what she’s been brought up to desire and an unexpected attraction to Isaac.
With a little seasonal nudge from his grandpa, Isaac might risk stepping away from the safety of his solitary world, giving both himself and Tiffany a chance to unwrap true love this Christmas.

Author Bio –
Margaret Amatt is a bestselling Scottish author, professional daydreamer, and certified chocolate addict. She’s been making up stories for as long as she can remember – some of them even made it onto paper (and, tragically, onto floppy disks that no computer can read anymore). After two decades of writing in secret, she finally unleashed her first novel on the world in 2021, kicking off a ten-book series set on the stunning Isle of Mull.
But why stop there? She’s also the creator of The Glenbriar Series, where romance, small-town drama, and a pinch of spice keep readers coming back for more. This series is still going strong, with more books planned, including a spin-off series in 2027 – The Glenbriar Castle Series.
Margaret also has two books out in the Love on the Edge – Barra series, set in the Outer Hebrides.
Margaret has spent her whole life in Scotland’s breath-taking Highland Perthshire, despite her entire extended family coming from the Glasgow area. Her books are romantic and emotional, sweet and funny, and each one can be read as a standalone, but long-time readers know the joy of familiar faces popping up, adding to the chaos.
So, if you love relatable characters, sizzling chemistry, and plenty of banter, you’re in the right place – just don’t blame Margaret when you stay up way too late reading just one more chapter.
