Title: Christmas Ever After
A picture-perfect town, a place where dreams come true. Welcome to Ever After Street...
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, but Franca Andrews has never felt more miserable. With business far from bustling, she needs a Christmas miracle to keep her beloved nutcracker shop open... But there’s one man standing in her way - expert snow globe maker Raff Dardenne.
Dardenne Snow Globes have a magical reputation for bringing lovers together, a myth Raff continues to exploit. But this Christmas their shops are pitted against each other and only one gets to stay on Ever After Street. Franca doesn't know how her handmade nutcrackers are ever going to compete with Raff's snow globes, especially at the most magical time of the year!
As these two enemies get to know each other, Franca discovers another side to Raff – kind, caring and funny. But unless she can prove that his magical snow globes can’t really match true lovers together, she’s going to lose everything…
But maybe it's not too late for them to put aside their differences and find some Christmas magic of their own?
I think I saved my favourite Christmas book of 2024 until last. Just from the title and knowing how fab the author is at Christmas books, I suspected this might make me feel festive.
And OMG how brilliant was it. Between being set on Christmas Ever After - the side bit to Ever After Street, where it is Christmas all year around, and featuring a Nutcracker shop and a magical snow globe shop I was in heaven.
Franca's rivalry with Raff was amusing initially until the viral video where she breaks a few fingers, and Raff feels so guilty he offers to help her make nutcrackers.
But they are in competitions with each other, and only one shop will survive the festive season.
It didn't take long to discover that Raff is wonderful. I totally fell for him, and when we get to meet his family I fell even deeper. His family are wonderful and they celebrate Christmas in a big way.
They help Franca rediscover the magic of the season while she is trying to work out the magic behind the snow globes.
This is such a gorgeously festive book that is truly wonderful and another brilliant book in this series. I can't get enough of the series and this author. Just brilliant.
Thank you to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
