The Little Christmas Shop on Nutcracker Lane
[Ad-gifted] Is it too early to mention the ‘C’ word yet? Well, not for me as I have already started to buy my Christmas decors and gifts in anticipation. I also can’t wait to get my tree out as there is just too much gloom and doom at the moment and I need something to look forward to. So if you, like me, are also ready to get into the Christmas spirit, festivities and cake baking then why not start by reading The Little Christmas Shop on Nutcracker Lane by Jaimie Admans which is published by HQ Digital of Harper Collins.
The book is about Nia Maddison who has always believed that wishes come true on Nutcracker Lane. So, when she gets the opportunity to run her own Christmas gift shop on the most magical street in town, it feels like her wishes have been finally granted. But working late one night, Nia discovers yet another boyfriend has cheated on her. As she trudges home – alone, again – she passes the (supposedly) magical nutcracker and half-joking thinks a wish can’t hurt.
Cracking a nut in its mouth, she wishes to find Prince Charming. The next day Nia gets to work to find another decoration shop has opened directly across the lane from her own, and she can’t resist having a nose around. Whilst there, she accidentally backs into a human-sized Nutcracker, knocking it over and breaking it. Mortified, she flees from the store but when she gathers her resolve to go back and apologise, she stumbles across the gorgeous shop owner James, who looks exactly like Prince Charming…Could her Christmas wish from the night before really be coming true?
What did I think of The Little Christmas Shop on Nutcracker Lane?
I would say that this is the perfect Christmas-themed romance book to read to make you feel warm and fuzzy inside. It was such a delight to read this eBook, getting to know the characters and feeling as if I was part of Nutcracker Lane.
In a nutshell, the story involves around Nia, the main character who gets her heartbroken, is lonely and pining for love. This Christmas she decides to make a wish to meet her Prince Charming thank’s to the huge Nutcracker (who she believes grants wishes) on Nutcracker Lane. She loves everything about Christmas and has for the first time able to get a store on Nutcracker Lane to sell her crafts. Without warning, she finds her Prince Charming in mysterious James who unlike her, hates Christmas and she decides to take on the challenge to convert him into loving Christmas. There is also the announcement that half the stores in Nutcracker Lane will no longer be trading next year as the new owner is planning to build a factory instead. Nia decides to champion the cause to motivate the traders and bring Nutcracker Lane back to its glory as she once knew it. Now the big question…will James be converted? And will he continue to be with her once Christmas is over?
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this eBook. It made me feel warm and reminded me of all things magical and wonderful about Christmas. I personally can’t wait to start getting my Christmas jumpers out and binge watch Christmas themed movies with my family. I do have to say the eBook was slightly predictable, but otherwise, I was hooked on it till the end and I enjoyed every bit of it. If you read Christmas themed books leading up to Christmas then do add this to your reading list.
