Publisher Description
‘A gloriously festive, warm and cosy hug of a book. If this doesn’t get you in the mood for mince pies, eggnog and pine tree scents, nothing will!’ NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
’Tis the season for mulled wine, mince pies, and magic under the mistletoe…
Flora loves Christmas more than anything else in the world, so she’s gutted when her Scrooge-alike boss fires her from Deck the Halls Christmas emporium. But now she finally has a chance to follow her dreams – and what better place to start than the home of Christmas?
Before she can say ‘sleigh bells’, Flora’s on her way to Lapland in a campervan-cum-Christmas-shop. She can’t wait to spend her days drinking hot chocolate and taking reindeer-drawn carriage rides, but something Flora didn’t expect was meeting Connor, a Norse god of a man who makes her heart flutter and snowflakes swirl in her stomach. There’s just one problem: Connor hates Christmas.
Can Flora convince Connor of the joys of Christmas – and will she find a festive romance along the way?
The perfect Christmas romance for fans of Debbie Johnson, Holly Martin and Jenny Colgan.

Incredibly Annoying
Flora, the main character, is ridiculous and incredibly annoying. The premise of the book is good, but the main character needs to be rewritten.
She’s too over the top and extremely immature for a 30 year old woman. Her behavior at the boot sale and when her van filled with smoke are two examples of her odd behavior.
I made it part-way through chapter 13, but her ridiculous attitude towards Collin when he told her she needed to turn her music down due to complaints turned me off. I couldn’t take her anymore. She should be the antagonist instead of a protagonist.
I really wanted to like the book and finish it. I just can’t. Glad I only paid $3.00 for it.
Wonderful escape
Thoroughly loved the book! There were laugh out loud moments and the imagery was fantastic. Thanks for the great read.
