I loved this brilliant festive read with a very special ending! It is packed with all the delights of the season and wrapped up beautifully in love. Ex-F1 mechanic Lexi has returned from her globe trotting, fast paced job to her family home and business and is endeavouring to review her options whilst helping by working in the family's Christmas shop. She was involved in wreath making when a sharp holly leaf almost - but not quite - made her use profanities in front of George, the adorable five year old son of Cal Martin! After such an innocuous introduction George and Cal both prove detrimental to her previous dreams as she starts re-considering her options and her dreams . . . .

This is a truly heart-warming story from the very beginning. I thoroughly enjoyed escaping into the close knit community and the families who live there. It is a fantastic book to snuggle up with, a cosy read to keep you enthralled regardless of the weather outside. Get ready to meet some fantastic characters - especially Lexi's older brothers and her ex-fiancé - as well as Apollo, who merits his own special mention. The family dynamics, the melting of barriers, festive fun and developing romance are integral components in this story. Lexi may have decided to put off settling down but fate and love have other plans for her!

This author has a brilliant way of bringing her characters and scenarios to life with her vivid descriptions. I feel like I've actually been there exploring the Little Christmas Shop, meeting the characters and seeing the sights therein. If you're looking for an engaging and highly entertaining Christmas read, grab yourself a copy of this fantastic book!

I requested and received a copy of this novel, via NetGalley. This is my honest review after choosing to read it.

Home is the place where they have to take you in, or so the saying goes, and Lexi has retreated back to her family after her engagement goes down in flames. Yes, she’ll help out at the family Christmas shop,even if she’s far from feeling the Christmas spirit. But seeing Christmas through the eyes of a child, specifically a five-year old little boy with a single father, awakens feelings Lexi thought were buried years ago. The last thing she planned on was a new relationship, but maybe some things are just meant to be. A charming, warm Christmas story about second chances
