Cam’s career and romantic prospects take a nose dive once she becomes guardian to her young nephew. She leaves a bustling Dutch city to move to a small, dull country town in England, and where once she restored magnificent old paintings to their former glory, now she operates the paint-mixing machine at a soulless hardware store. As much as she adores little Rowan, life has lost some of its sparkle.
However, a handsome and charming customer causes her heart to flutter once more. Fate, alas, seems determined to hamper any possibility of them getting together. So what chance does a tiny, naughty hamster have of bringing happiness this Christmas?
This is a festive, light-hearted and uplifting romcom.

The Harley is one of my favourite all time animal characters in a book. As you may have guessed from the title, he is the rather adorable Christmas Hamster who has a rather amusing habit.  

All I'll say is from the moment that Cam agrees to look after this hamster for a few weeks, the book becomes really amusing, and I loved seeing what the little scamp was getting up to next! 

Rowan her nephew, is also really sweet and the pair of them just adore animals, so much so that they have a mini zoo in a spare room with a wide variety of creatures!  And their dog and cat are also fabulous - although I'll admit to not paying enough attention initially when the animals were introduced and spent half the book thinking that they were taking their chinchilla out for walks... and not their Chihuahua.  No clue what I thought I was reading, but was very glad I did work it out!! 

Full of Stephanie Dagg's wonderful wit, amusing writing, and just a few animals as I have come to expect from this author, I really did love this easy and quick to read story. 

If you love a festive novella, full of a laughs, interludes between the chapters written from a fabulously unexpected point of view, a will they ever actually meet again after a great meet cute, plus all manner of other things to make you smile -  then this is certainly the story for you. 

Thank you to the author for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
