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 Northern Lights 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.
Escape to the Swiss Chalet was her debut novel and Escape to the Tuscan Vineyard was her second novel. Now her third book Escape to the Northern Lights is out November 6th. It's part of her Holiday Romance series although like her other 2 books they can be read as a standalone.
About the book
Packed with humour, romance and a love affair with nature, Escape to the Northern Lights is a story of transformation, second chances and finding home in the most unexpected places.
High-powered lawyer Sara thought she had life figured out – until her whirlwind marriage ends in divorce, her dream promotion slips away and a burnout diagnosis forces her to take a break.
Desperate for a reset, she books a four-week spa retreat in Norway, imagining a luxurious escape. Instead, she finds herself in the rugged wilderness of Firefly Forest, knee-deep in reindeer droppings and stuck with an annoyingly bohemian – and ridiculously attractive – outdoorsman, Henrik.
What starts as a nightmare turns into a journey of self-discovery as Sara swaps designer heels for bare feet, legal briefs for tree-hugging, and fleeting flings for something far deeper...
Escape to the Northern Lights is a cosy romance. Sara Pearson's marriage is ending in divorce, her dream promotion slips away and she is burnt out. Forced to take time off work she heads to a four week spa retreat in Norway. However it's far from what she expected, instead she ends up at Firefly Forest in the wilderness. It may feel like a nightmare however she soon meets outdoorsy and attractive Henrik and it turns into a journey of self-discovery.
Escape to the Northern Lights is easy to read and has a mix of great characters. The story is told from the perspective of Sara and I loved the descriptions of beauty of the Norwegian wilderness.
