I gave this book 4.5 stars. It took a little bit to start up for me but once I did get into the story I "lapped" it up. Rebecca Raisin has an art for making even the saddest thing amusing and so I found myself laughing out loud on more than one or two occasions. The way she paints pictures with her words is wonderful and much as I hate snow and winter I would love to go to Lapland. Sleigh rides, deer, the wonderful sounding food, the Christmas food and absolutely stunning scenery makes this somewhere I would very much like to visit. I adored all the characters. Of course it was hard to like the "villainess" but even she was written beautifully. I really liked how it all developed and I also liked how real Flora was depicted. Oh my gosh, I could see myself doing some of the things she did and coming up with the same excuses. If you have never had a chance to read Rebecca Raisin before I suggest that you read this one. A great introduction to her writing and also to the magic of the holiday season. If you are familiar with the author then you know exactly what I mean when I say this was whimsical, sweet, a love story, a Christmas story, family and friendship and oh so much more.

Festive romantic read
Sweet Chocolate romance story. Love how festive Flora goes on a holiday adventure by way of a van to sell various Christmas trinket. Along the way she meets other market people such as herself and makes new friends but also goes out of her way to show grinchy Connor ((the manager of the park where the market is held) that there is such a thing as Christmas magic. Loved the storyline and enjoyed the various characters. The story definitely puts readers in a holiday mood. Highly recommend to all romance fans and Christmas fanatics.
