My Opinion:
*Book
provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review*
Jenny Hale and Christmas, the perfect combination! So
obviously I downloaded this beauty right away and yes, I fell in love with it.
The story follows Noelle Parker, mum to six-year-old
Lucas, passionate about her grandmother’s bakery and she cares a lot abut her
friends and family.
The bakery is facing closure though and that brakes
her heart. She is determined to raise funds and revamp the bakery. At the same time,
she works as a carer for an elderly man, William Harrington, who lives in this
huge mansion.
She also gets to meet his grandson Alexander
Harrington. The two men are not on good terms at all and there is a mystery
surrounding Alex.
There is a connection between Alex and Noelle from the
start. I loved how Jenny Hale captured this and built on it. I love the way
their story develops and Alex is so wonderful with Lucas. He works a lot though
and thinks his grandfather was never in love with his grandmother. That has a
great impact in his life and his decisions.
William of course has his way of the story to tell and
Noelle finds out more and more. The truth is maybe a bit shocking, but also
wonderful in a way.
Little Lucas is adorable and adds so many sparks to
the story. It’s all set around Christmas and the storyline is so magical and
cute. Both Noelle and Alex struggle at times. Noelle has to fight for what she
wants and Alex needs to learn things about life and how to deal with his
feelings. It’s a big journey for them and it’s great to see them go through it
together. Of course there is some drama included, but that just makes the story
more intense.
I absolutely adore the Christmas vibes in this story,
the setting is beautiful and the scenes add a lot personality to everything. All
the characters are unique and have their story to tell. Together they form an
incredible bunch of people interacting with each other and combined with the
Christmas atmosphere it just becomes MAGICAL!
Jenny Hale has a real talent to put romance, family
history, Christmas and many other things into one BRILLIANT story. It’s
heartwarming, warm, cozy and just MAGICAL!!!
