Title: The Little Christmas Shop on Nutcracker LaneAuthor: Jaimie AdmansFormat reviewed: EbookSource: NetgalleyPublisher: HQ DigitalPublication Date: 16th October 2020Rating: 5 Stars
It’s the most magical time of year, and anything can happen…
Nia Maddison has always believed that wishes come true on Nutcracker Lane. So, when she gets the opportunity to run her own Christmas gift shop on the most magical street in town, it feels like her wishes have been finally granted.
But working late one night, Nia discovers yet another boyfriend has cheated on her. As she trudges home – alone, again – she passes the (supposedly) magical nutcracker and half-joking thinks a wish can’t hurt. Cracking a nut in its mouth, she wishes to find Prince Charming.
The next day Nia gets to work to find another decoration shop has opened directly across the lane from her own, and she can’t resist having a nose around.
Whilst there, she accidentally backs into a human-sized Nutcracker, knocking it over and breaking it. Mortified, she flees from the store but when she gathers her resolve to go back and apologise, she stumbles across the gorgeous shop owner James, who looks exactly like Prince Charming…
Could her Christmas wish from the night before really be coming true?
Fans of Heidi Swain, Holly Martin and Rebecca Raisin will love Jaimie Admans!
Easily one of the most wonderfully Christmassy books I've read this year, and almost certainly Jaimie Admans best book so far (and her others have all been really wonderful too).
... in fact don't read this review, just go buy the book, sit back and enjoy being wrapped up in all things Christmas...
... seriously this book is just so good, trust me on this and read it for yourself. I really don't want to write anything else as well it would spoilt the festive magic...
... and this is a story that has festive magic in spades. It has the most fabulous male lead going, and such was Nia's belief, that at times I thought he was the impossible, Nia's first Christmas wish come true, others I had guessed at the truth, but above all he is a man who is nicknamed as Grinch and wants Nia to try to help in to understand the season and to find his Christmas spirit.
And Nia really is the perfect person for this task, given all her life she has wanted a shop on Nutcracker Lane and this year it became a reality.
Ah Nutcracker Lane, so so much I want to say about this setting, but I'm not the author, I can't do it justice, but let's just say its critical to the story and seeing how the lane develops over the story, and all the other shops on it, let's just say I wish it was a real place that I could go and visit.
This is a book that will have you believing in Christmas Spirt in spades, its full of just everything you could possibly want from the festive season and even more.
And wow, the amount of times this book made me giggle or laugh out loud, there is just so much humour in it, its just so so entertaining.
If you read just one Christmas book this season, then this should without a doubt be the contender for your attention, you won't regret it (so long as you love feel good, hallmark worthy Christmas romances).
And enjoy discovering whether James is really a Disney Prince, a nutcracker come to life, a real boy, or something even more special!
Thank you to HQ Digital and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
