What a wonderful return visit to the enchanting ‘Ever After
Street.’ I adore this magical community. Although part of a wonderful series,
this festive book can be read as a standalone. I’m such a fan of Jaimie Admans’
books that I couldn’t resist Christmas in September!
I love an good enemies to lovers trope and this fits the bill
perfectly. Our leading characters don’t seem to be able to co-exist as
shopkeepers on the same street, this leads to a competition by the local
council – only one can stay and each character has a challenge to complete. The
reasons for their “enemy” status seems more one sided to me, and pretty petty
but paves the way for a fun and cosy rom-com.
Franca runs the nutcracker store,
she was a ballerina until injury put her on a very different path. She loves
that the street she works on but is not a fan of Raf, the guy running the snow
globe shop. She blames his store (inherited from his Grandfather) for the divorce
of her parents.
As the festive season begins
Franca is injured because of a mistake by Raf. She cannot possibly continue
with making the nutcrackers for the festive market and the customer orders she
has. Raf is instantly sorry for what happened and sets about doing all he can
to make things right – no matter what it may cost him.
Great characters – Raf just sounds incredible and unfairly judged by Franca. Franca
had a difficult childhood following her parents divorce. Her parents hate each
other and she has barely any
relationship with either. Raf was surrounded by family, his grandfather build a
great business that encouraged romance and played matchmaker for many couples.
Raf doesn’t really want to continue this legacy, he just wants to build beautiful
snow globes.
A story of both characters
following their hearts, doing what they want and feeling supported doing so by
those who love them.
A gorgeous, cosy, festive read - Jaimie
Admans never fails for me. I highly recommend Christmas Ever After and I cannot
wait to go back!
