Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. Nia's dream of opening a shop on nutcracker lane has come true. Nia has had a string of bad luck when it comes to men. She is hoping that James is not like her cheating ex boyfriends. This book will put you in the Christmas.

With elements from many of your favorite classic Christmas stories and movies, this book manages to be both serious and light-hearted at the same time. Admans has the ability to create unique situations, and describes her settings and characters in such detail that you feel as though you're going through these implausible - yet completely believable - situations alongside them. I especially adored the magical nutcracker-come-to-life!

Oh wow the little Christmas shop on nutcracker lane is a pure delight to read, I have devoured this in one sitting wrapped up in my blanket on the sofa.

Full of the Joy's of Christmas, Nia is such a loveable character throw in handsome James and a £1000 nutcracker and you have the perfect book.
Jaimie has a real way with making you feel like you are right there amongst the Lane, ooh the Chocolate shop I want to visit.

This heartwarming tale has left me with a huge smile and already wanting to put up my Christmas tree. 

A massive 5 stars from me

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Jaimie Admans has become one of my favorite authors, so needless to say that this book did not disappoint. I love how her novels are full of such descriptions that it makes you feel like you are actually transported into the scenes of the story. I could easily see myself as Nia and will admit to falling for James as well! It is a great story about nostalgic Christmas and I want to run out now and buy a Christmas jumper and some nutcrackers for my hours, despite it only being September. Thank you, Jaimie, for another escape to the picturesque beauty of the UK!

Absolutely enjoyed reading about Nia and the Christmas shopkeepers on Nutcracker Lane - reminiscing about Christmases past, present and future, with a few novelty Christmas jumpers thrown in!

The story is part love story, human nature, with a dash of "Scrooge" and "The Nutcracker" and a timely reminder of the meaning of what the "season of goodwill" and community spirit can achieve (I'm writing this review in September, as parts of the UK have recently gone into another covid lockdown).

Thank you to Jaimie Admans for reminding me of the meaning of community and friendship, and to HQ Stories and Netgalley for the opportunity to re-discover this by providing an Advance Reader's Copy.

The Little Christmas Shop on Nutcracker Lane is a lovely heart warming festive romance. It is a lovely book to curl up with as the evenings draw in and the countdown to Christmas starts. Nia is a likeable character and it is nice to watch the romance build with James following her run of bad luck and sadness. I love the setting and the Christmas theme and would definitely recommend.

I have just finished it and wow....this is my favourite by far from this author...Nia was such a good heroine, kind, caring, funny and xmas daft..James was a handsome grinch with a good heart! It had humour, sadness, vulnerability, friendship, kindness and a selection of the best ‘worst’ xmas jokes. I’m not ashamed to say I fell a little bit in love with James! Honestly in these dark days, this book is a beacon of light and sunshine! This is my favourite book of 2020 xx

I read an advance copy of, The Little Christmas Shop on Nutcracker Lane, by Jaimie Admans. Nia is not having a great time, her boyfriend cheated on, she might lose her, job, she knocked over a huge nutcracker, things are not going her way. Will this be her worst Christmas, or will things turn around for Nia? I loved the characters in this book.

A wonderful light-hearted read that will get you in the mood for Christmas. Delightfully witty writing set in and around a Christmas extravaganza of festive shops where Nia gets more than she wished for when she bumped into The Nutcracker man. Cheated on 5 times, the last by a man with a liking for purple underwear 😳, will it be sixth time lucky?
