Story
When Bo Grayson and her friends meet a mysterious fortune teller, she gives each woman the same prediction: you will meet the love of your life by Christmas Day. But Bo quickly dismisses this as nonsense. And with the festive season in full swing, she has plenty to keep her busy: creating the seasonal menu for her Boatyard Café, getting her rock and roll dance group ready for their Christmas show - and avoiding thinking about last December, when her fortune took a turn for the worse.

Belle Wilde loves December. Yes, she’s just lost her job, and Christmas is not a good time to find yourself ‘financially challenged’. And yes, her parents are still going on about the fact that she really should have it all together by now. But Belle believes that in December, magic can happen. Rory Walters hates December. Whilst it looks like his life is together, he’s still reeling from a winter’s night five years ago when his life changed forever. Now back at home, he’s certain that this will be yet another Christmas to endure rather than enjoy.

When a hazy image is posted online of what appears to be a mermaid, the café and the village are soon full to bursting with curious sightseers. The most eye-catching of the new arrivals is Jake Smith, who has rented a cottage for the summer while he works on his new book. Or so he says. In fact, he is a journalist, burned out and disillusioned with life, whose editor has sent him on a crack-pot hunt for mermaids....

Summary
'Tis the season for mulled wine, mince pies and magic under the mistletoe.
Flora loves Christmas more than anything else in the world, so she's gutted when her Scrooge-alike boss fires her from Deck the Halls Christmas emporium. But now she finally has a chance to follow her dreams, and what better place to start than the home of Christmas?
Before she can say sleigh bells, Flora's on her way to Lapland in a campervan-cum-Christmas-shop. She cant wait to spend her days drinking hot chocolate and taking reindeer-drawn carriage rides, but something Flora didn't expect was meeting Connor, a Norse god of a man who makes her heart flutter and snowflakes swirl in her stomach. There's just one problem: Connor hates Christmas.
Can Flora convince Connor of the joys of Christmas, and will she find a festive romance along the way?
The perfect Christmas romance for fans of Debbie Johnson, Holly Martin and Jenny Colgan.

The performance
The main character, Flora, isn’t a very likable person. She has a persecution complex, is rude to people, and free-loads off her best friend. But to make her completely unlikable, here comes the narration. It’s shrill but not monotone as she was in One More Christmas at the Castle (which I returned at the 20% mark.)
Shame I could not return this one as well, as I quit listening at 10% and read the kindle book instead.

Delightful
I'm not a big fan of Christmas since my Mom passed, but the character Flora is just so ebullient that I got caught up in her joie de vivre. Conner is her polar opposite yet she is so infectious even he can't resist her charm. She is a bit Ditzy and not your average romance beauty. I find the traveling market culture fascinating and very European. I liked the witty banner among characters. It is definitely a feel good book.

It is what it is
If you begin this book needing a read with no stress and an easy plot, then you won’t be disappointed. Just go into it knowing it will be a thin plot and uncomplicated characters. Except Flora. She is needlessly exhausting, and not in a cute or quirky way. She has a lot of maturing to do.

Cute story about personal growth and belief in the magic of Christmas
It started out rough, I really didn’t like Flora. I almost stopped listening. But I’m glad I kept going. About chapter 8 was when it started getting good.
However, later in the story the author takes the Lord’s name in vein several times, which I didn’t like. Thankfully it was a clean romance and the author didn’t do anything in the story that made me blush. But I did laugh, several times!
I loved the descriptions of Lapland. Now I wanna go! Lol
