Daisy Turner has worked at Buchanan’s Family Jewellers since the day she finally escaped her troubled home. With a unique talent for matching the perfect piece of jewellery to any romantic milestone, she painstakingly polishes each stunning creation every morning and safely locks them away each night, longing for the day she’ll have a love story to call her own…
But everything changes one day in December when the owner announces she is retiring. She will leave the shop to whichever of her three sons creates the perfect piece of Christmas jewellery for Daisy.
In danger of losing the job that once saved her, Daisy is catapulted out of her comfort zone as each of the brothers sweeps her off her feet to find out what her heart truly desires. Between ice-skating, starlight shopping and cosy candle-lit dinners, it’s only handsome and guarded youngest brother Kit who really seems to be listening. Because Daisy has a secret. Every night, when the shop closes, she lays out her tools in neat rows and creates sparkling designs of her own…
As Christmas Day approaches, Daisy’s growing feelings for Kit fill her with a confidence she never knew she had. But as the brothers present their elaborate gemstone masterpieces, she’s in for the shock of her life… Was Kit using her to get ahead in the competition all along? Or has he truly worked out the one thing she has always longed for?
They say all good things come in small packages, but the best things don’t need wrapping at all…

From the first chapter I was utterly enchanted, and just knew this story was going to get under my skin.
It is such a warm hug of a book, really cosy, with a lovely story at the heart of it, a sprinkle of Christmas magic, a few interesting days out, getting to know three very different brothers, and also Daisy' s secret past as a well as her soon to be no so secret talents too.
Daisy has a simple life, does the same thing every day, likes things just as they are, is possibly an even fussier eater than me (which does give me great hope that I'm not utterly hopeless), and generally regards Buchanan's as her life saving job, having worked there since the age of 17.
She may not be the biggest fan of the sorts of expensive jewellery that she sells there, but she is a romantic at heart, and loves hearing all the different love stories, as she tries to pair the perfect piece to the perfect partner, even if it may not be the best option for the shops profit margins.
However this December everything changes when Bea, the owner of Buchanan's announces her intention to retire at the end of the year, and is running a competition between her 3 incredibly different sons to see which one will get the business. And Daisy is at the heart of it as they each have to come up with the perfect present for her, and Bea will judge on Christmas Eve.
I really enjoyed seeing the three brothers bicker amongst themselves, the way that Daisy attempted to spend a day with each of them, marvelling at Daisy's integrity, while also incredibly interested not only in that story line but the far more creative one, that means fans of Emma Davies this year were treated to glimpses of Flora and Ned, and Grace and Amos from her other releases this year.
I won't go into details on that section as frankly I enjoyed not knowing in advance, and discovering for myself but to say its integral to everything seems fair. Amos yet again even in the small ways he was present was a fabulous addition to the book. This though is 100% a standalone story, and if you weren't aware of the previous book connections, you wouldn't even notice them, but its more a nice addition for the authors fans.
And the brothers, wow just how different are they, I really wasn't sure how things would turn out, but I had a massive massive smile on my face by the end of the book, it was just perfect.
An utterly charming, sweet, cosy romance, guaranteed to warm the hardest of hearts this Christmas and filled me with great hope too.
Thank you to Bookouture and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
