He is pleasantly surprised when he meets a woman who reminds him of the love he lost so many years ago, in a way that reawakens a heart he’d long thought dormant.
Filled with memorable characters, from a cheeky possum to a cook who moonlights as an amateur counsellor, this sweet, small-town Christmas story celebrates the camaraderie of a life lived in community and second chances at life and love.
A stand-alone, heartwarming Christmas romance for fans of Sheila Roberts, Debbie Macomber, and Debbie Mason.

I really liked this new book in the series about a wonderful inn on the beach. I like the idea of an older couple finding each other and falling in love.
Robert is worried about his daughter since she and the grandkids are his only family, His wife had died 10 years before. He was to spend Christmas at his daughter’s house but was told he needed to stay somewhere else and just come over to visit. So, he books into the Inn.
Liz was thinking she would spend Christmas with her son, then he calls and says he is spending the holiday with his girlfriend. Her friends talk her into going to the Inn where she and Robert meet.
I think you will really like reading this wonderful book. I highly recommend it.
Christmas At The Waratah Inn
By; Lilly Mirren
A wonderful and touching story that will touch your heart . At times I caught myself crying and other times laughing. I was drawn at the start and could not put it down. Even though this is part of a series, it can be read as a stand-a-lone , a heartwarming Christmas romance. There is loss ,divorce, abuse, and second chances. Love the story and the characters , both were well written.
I was given a complimentary copy of this book, but was not told that I had to give a positive review. All opinions are my own.
This is a beautifully written Christmas romance. It’s a very heartwarming read that will keep you turning the pages. It is full of hope and will pull on your heart strings. This is a book I will read again. I received an ARC copy of this book and was not required to write a review. All opinions expressed are my own.
Christmas at the Waratah Inn is a stand alone book set at the Waratah Inn – not a book about one of the sister owners. While it takes place at Christmas, this book is really about having to rebuild your life and reinvent yourself after the children have left home and your husband divorces you or your wife dies. Elizabeth and Robert are main characters who need to figure our their new direction. This is a heart warming, well written romance. I like that the main characters are 47 and 50. If you like feel good, second chance romances, this would be a great book to read.
Alone and Lost in Middle-Age
This book shares the setting of the Waratah Inn Series but stands alone. This is a Christmas romance, but it is so much more. The book explores rebuilding one’s life in middle age after a huge personal loss. For many of us who have experienced divorce or have suddenly become widowed after decades of marriage, this book explores the freedom and joy of remaking oneself. While the story twangs many heart-strings, it is a joyful message of hope and love. I have enjoyed this entire series and love this book!
