"An absolutely perfect holiday hug."--New York Times bestselling author Christina Lauren
"This feel-good novel brings tidings of joy."--Woman's World
A one-of-a-kind Christmas market offers holiday magic in this new romance from the author of The Kindred Spirits Supper Club.
With a name like Astra Noel Snow, holiday spirit isn’t just a seasonal specialty—it’s a way of life. But after a stinging divorce, Astra’s yearly trip to the Milwaukee Christmas market takes on a whole new meaning. She’s ready to eat, drink, and be merry, especially with the handsome stranger who saves the best kringle for her at his family bakery.
For Jack Clausen, the Julemarked with its snowy lights and charming shops stays the same, while the world outside the joyful street changes, magically leaping from one December to the next every four weeks. He’s never minded living this charmed existence until Astra shows him the life he’s been missing outside of the festive red brick alley.
After a swoon-worthy series of dates, some Yuletide magic, and the unexpected glow of new love, Astra and Jack must decide whether this relationship can weather all seasons, or if what they’re feeling is as ephemeral as marshmallows in a mug of hot cocoa.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This endearing Christmas romance from Reichert (The Kindred Spirits Supper Club) introduces a magical land where it's Christmas all year round. Jack Clausen is a resident of the magical Julemarked, a Brigadoon-like town that can be accessed through Christmas markets all over the world, appearing on December 1 and disappearing at midnight on Christmas Eve. Astra Snow and her three best friends take an annual trip to Milwaukee's Christmas market, one of the portals to Julemarked, which has brought Astra and Jack together for the past 15 years—though only Jack remembers their meetings. This year, something changes: Astra recognizes Jack from her dreams. Jack is thrilled and hopes to convince Astra to stay with him in his magical home—but he only has 24 days to do so. Though Jack knows all their history, their relationship is entirely new to Astra, so the decision to leave her friends and family won't be easy. The clock's on their relationship as Christmas Eve approaches, which, combined with some surprising twists, keeps the pages flying. Readers won't want to put this down.
