[Naturalbri (Bri Wignall) · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was such a sweet short story. It is the perfect holiday read, filled with love, laughter, magic, healing and joy.

From the start, we are given two character, who have had a bad go of things recently. They are a bit down, and the holiday season makes it even harder. On a whim, one takes a journey to stay in a secluded cabin, for Christmas and New Year, and suddenly finds herself in the quaintest cafe, with a spirited women and a handsome stranger.

I loved reading along as their lives collided together, bringing them more relief, happiness and friendship than they could have ever imagined. Within an instant they feel and see the true spirit and magic of Christmas, as it comes to life.

I loved the two characters. Their problems were both very real and easy to relate to. They had personalities that worked well together, even though they are hidden under a walled exterior. I liked reading along as the barriers starts to fall and they saw each other for real.

The ending was a great surprise. I really liked the way that Mya took it and think it is perfect for the festive season.

Overall, this is a brilliant rad. It is perfect for a short evening read, by the fire or in a comfy chair, as the holiday approach.



I received this book in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

This is a really sweet and short read. It really does capture the essence of Christmas. Suitable for all readers, especially if you only have a short time to read, ideal for lunch breaks. Loved it.
