Enchanted Irish Christmas
A Fairy-Charmed Romance of Magical Fantasy in Christmas Card Ireland.
It's not often the worlds of fae and humans overlap and Niamh O'Hare doesn't believe in the Fae, or fate for that matter. Yet, one wintry morning just before Christmas, the mists of Ireland part to reveal an enchanted village where destiny waits and the Fae call her name.

This was tactile, real, and stimulating to the imagination; Enchanted Irish Christmas is well worth reading (even without snow everywhere)
Magic abounds in a wonderland, reminding one of fairies in a simple and a clean world. In a vast snow covered area, Niamh, the heroine, spoils the mood after she becomes lost and pulls out her phone for illumination.
The romance begins shortly afterwards, and if she had been quicker and didn't miss her bus, the reader would have had to wait even longer for the spark of interest between her and Oisin,
The dialog is natural and its content unusual.
An adult fairy tale that is lush and mysterious.

A delightful room between two worlds
If you're looking for a sweet story of love, romance and enchantment, Carole Mondragon's Christmas story of a young woman's quest to find her purpose will fit the bill
Niamh is visited by a strange old woman who demands a cup of tea and promises adventure, but when she leaves, Niamh is left without her memory of the old crone's visit, but a bus ticket to Galway starts her adventure.
She falls asleep on the bus and overshoots Galway arriving instead at the end of the line, a mysterious village that is only accessible through a deep, dark forest.
Niamh's adventure in the enchanted village leads to romance and a decision that has the potential to change her life forever.

A truly magical romance. Carole brings settings to life like no other, writing gorgeous descriptions of a Christmas card Ireland, then peoples them with real, humorous characters. Niamh's bewildered inner monologue is fun to follow. With her, the reader can travel to the beautiful, bizarre, mythical village of Baile na Déithe and watch her confusion turn to pure joy as she spends pure, sweet outings building a very adorable relationship with Oisin. There are bittersweet moments towards the end of the story as she questions if he's really where her future lies, but the ending leaves no doubt that they love one another, and still leaves room for future adventures with them, which I hope to see!

This short story is perfect for those who enjoy a holiday romance. Why not add a little magic to your life! The two main characters are a loving young(?) couple who are brought together by an invitation that Niamh feels cannot resist. I found she was very brave in dealing with all that she encountered given that she had hardly left her hometown before.
The author, in her writing style, has brought almost every scene to life. I could put the book down and visualize what l had read in great detail. When I reached page 118 I simply wanted more. I have not read the previous novels of Niamh but I shall find the time to do so. Very enjoyable read.

A thoroughly enjoyable mystical tale. Set in Ireland, there is a real sense of characters as they converse in brogue and lead the story on in a satisfying way. It’s the start of something greater, at least that’s what it comes across as, as Niamh discovers a secret about herself that leads her (and will lead, in subsequent books, I’m sure) to adventure. It is a short book, much the pity, as I was enjoying it and it ended, but a wonderful read. Myths and romance is discovered as well as a sense of fun.

A beautiful and enchanting Christmas tale
This was a beautiful and enchanting Christmas story. I loved Niamh's journey to Baile na Déithe. I loved seeing Clonacool again because I'd fallen in love with the town from her previous novels. I can't wait to find out more about Niamh and Oisin's adventures. Please, please tell me this is not the last we will see of them!!!! Awesome read!

Reading Enchanted Irish Christmas is a magical delight. Carol Mondragon paints such a vivid picture that you can’t help but imagine yourself amongst the thatched roof houses and snow covered trees. Niamh’s journey from a woman who never leaves her home town to someone who goes after who and what she wants is lovely. This is a great fast paced holiday read with plenty of romance and Irish magic.

If you can believe that a young Irish girl can pick up and go to the last bus stop and through a nearby forest, you know she'll find a magical village eventually. Oddly, some of the people don't know how to treat her. But of course the love of her life is there, and he knows. The Irish culture is charming.

A beautiful tale
I loved how the author used Irish mythology to create her own wonderful world of fantasy. I felt like I was pulled into both a different cultural experience as well as a wonderful fantasy realm. The sweet romance was beautiful and had a lovely happily ever after. This is a great read, no matter the season.

A fantastic Christmas romance. Such vivid descriptions and world building! The author sucks you into the fae world and creates an intriguing story of lore.
I love that signs pull Niamh into the secret world of gods and how their world is slowly revealed to give her a higher purpose and guide her into a meaningful future.
Worth the read for a quick, wholesome feel-good fantasy.

Cute Irish story!
This story brings you along on a magical adventure that I would love to go on. The main character takes an unexpected trip and finds not only a new life but a new love. This is a great read and I recommend it highly.

Feel good
This is a book style with a real feel of Xmas to it. Very clear and easy to visual images of Niamh and her adventures throughout this short novel. It's a seasonal novel with a warm feel and a few laughs.

I’m now ready for Christmas
I’m now thoroughly ready for Christmas.
It’s short and cinnamon sweet.
I particularly enjoyed the inner monologue of Niamh as well as the swift nature of the story.
Perfect before bedtime reads…

Niamh doesn't believe in the Fae but she meets with Oisin who is from among them. It is a beautiful romance story. She has to make a decision what matters most in her life. It is an interesting Christmas story. It is my first time reading about the Irish culture and myths. It is a beautiful novel.
