Summary

When Christmas-hating Sam moves to Holly Cross, he thinks he's found the perfect home, until he discovers that, each year, Holly Cross transforms into the most Christmassy village in the whole country...

Blythe is just one sale away from being Real Estate Agent of the Month, so she twists the truth to sell a home to city boy Sam, who is looking for the perfect house in the perfect location. Little does he know he's just bought a cottage in the middle of the most Christmassy village in the country. And if there's one thing Sam loathes, it's Christmas.

Sam's arrival puts Holly Cross's chance to win the title of Britain's Most Perfect Christmas Village now in jeopardy, and the villagers are soon up in arms. Meanwhile, Sam is in his own personal hell surrounded by fairy lights and everyone is looking to Blythe to fix things.

But as the festive season looms, maybe there's more than just Christmas in Holly Cross for Sam to fall in love with...

Nice story

Quite a cosy story . although it’s a theme that has been done many times before (a character that hates Christmas) Bella has given it her own touch.
Good naration

A feel good Christmas story

Good story, some twists and turns which were unexpected. The narrator was a bit annoying as her sentences tended to end so abruptly, a little inflection in her voice would have made a difference for me but other than that a really enjoyable story.

Festive Christmas story

This is mainly Blythe & Sam's story, but Blythe's best friend Vicky also has her story told. I was really touched by moments in Vicky's story, but as nothing is mentioned about her in the blurb I will not give any spoilers here. I think I might have enjoyed the story even more if the main focus had been Vicky's story!

Blythe sells a house to Sam (a city boy) neglecting to tell him that their small town goes all out at Christmas and it is expected that he will participate. Some months later it becomes clear that Sam really hates everything about Christmas and refuses to play any part in any of the activities and it becomes Blythe's mission to some how get him involved and perhaps even change his mind about Christmas.

I loved all the Christmas festivities and the community feeling we get. It's such a warm hug that makes me wish I could live somewhere like Holly Cross.
