In gorgeous Hopley Village twinkly lights are going up, snow is falling and the delicious smell of gingerbread is in the air. Will two broken hearts find their happily-ever-after this Christmas?
The most wonderful time of the year is approaching but thirty-year-old Holly Hanwell doesn’t really feel like celebrating… not after the bombshell news that her boyfriend was leaving her to have a baby with someone else. But she still has her adorable little house in Hopley Village with its bright yellow front door and her job teaching at the village school. And she’s planned a cosy, quiet Christmas, focusing on the little things in life that she loves.
Until she bumps into Edward, the handsome single father of her newest pupil. He’s moved to Christmas House, at the edge of pretty Hopley, to give his eight-year-old daughter Eliza a fresh start. Sheltering from the snowy weather in the warm village café, Holly and Edward start to bond over delicious mugs of hot chocolate, topped with cream and sprinkles.
Despite the spark between them, Holly knows she needs to protect her already fragile heart and she’s determined NOT to fall in love this Christmas. But holiday magic works in mysterious ways when a festive crisis at Christmas House brings them together. Yet just as Holly starts to realise her feelings are growing for kind but complicated Edward she discovers a secret from his past which makes her question everything she thought she knew…
Will Holly and Edward’s December romance be over before it’s begun? Or will this be a Christmas to remember?
Curl up with this magical, feel-good Christmas read! Perfect for fans of Trisha Ashley, Sarah Morgan and Carole Matthews.
First, I want to thank Tracy Rees, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may give you this review.
The Little Christmas House by Tracy Rees is such an adorable book that had me grinning ear to ear! It was the perfect read to get into the Christmas spirit early.
The book fairies did an amazing job designing this cute book cover.
The one storyline that pulled on my heart strings was the love and the bond that Edward and his daughter Eliza shared. He had the cutest little nickname for her that you couldn’t help but giggle at when you heard it.
I commended Edward for being the best single parent he could be for Eliza. However, he was putting way too much pressure on everything to be perfect for her.
Eliza, hands down, was my favorite character. She was the sweetest little girl, had a great personality, huge heart of gold, etc.
