Ad – review. I was sent a copy of this book for review purposes and all thoughts are my own.
Today I am involved in the book tour for Escape to the Swiss Chalet by Carrie Walker. Carrie Walker is a Brummie born rom-com lover with a lifelong passion for travel. She has lived in a ski resort, by a beach, in the country and the city, and travelled solo through Asia, South America and Europe. Her own love life was more com than rom until she met her husband a few years ago and settled down with him and her dog Ziggy in a small pub-filled village in Essex. Writing has long been Carrie’s side hustle, penning columns and features for newspapers and magazines, while working in many other jobs. She has been the CEO of a not-for-profit, a director of a brand agency, the editor of a newspaper in Spain, a radio presenter, a football mascot, dressed up as a carrot for the BBC and now she is writing books. Escape to the Swiss Chalet is her debut novel
When your life goes off-piste how do you climb back up the mountain?
Holly Roberts is well-known among family and friends for despising the cold, so no one is more surprised than her when she agrees to pack her bags and move to the Swiss Alps. But after getting her heart broken, spending the winter season working as a sous-chef for wealthy twins Genevieve and gorgeous Luca, is exactly what the doctor ordered.
Verbier is home to millionaires and Holly has never felt more out of place in the snow-capped wooden chalet. Thankfully new friends, chalet girl Liv and chef Xavier are there to be her guide in this new world of après-ski and fondue, and to teach her how to get off chair lifts! And then there is Luca... rich, handsome, kind but what is the catch?
She just wanted to escape her problems but could she get her HE after all?
Escape to the Swiss Chalet is an easy to read to romance. I did find the character Holly a tad annoying from time to time as well found the character Luca to be very arrogant. I did enjoy the wintery scenes of the Swiss Alps the authors descriptions were beautiful. For a debut read it was good but I wish I could have enjoyed it more. For me there needed to be a bit more romance and I felt the ending was wrapped up too quickly. Having said that I'm interested in reading more from Carrie Walker.
