Christmas Wishes at the Chocol
This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Thank you to Rachel for letting me take part in this tour and to Boldwood Books for my copy of this book via Netgalley. Remarkably this is the first book I have read by Jessica but I know it won't be my last. Jessica managed to evoke lots of emotions in me with this book so I know I'll soon be reading her back catalogue.
Charlee really had a tale of two Christmas' in this book. My heart went out to her when she was all alone. I so wanted to be there for her. Charlee is a very strong woman. She might not see it but opening her own shop and getting it all ready in such a short space of time was quite a feat. I was immensely proud of her. Charlee goes through so much in this book, I'm glad she had such a good group around her to support her.
This book is about so much more than just romance. It was about friendships, community and a sense of that Christmas magic. This wasn't a book that is 100% Christmas but it was a big theme in this book. I loved hearing about all the Christmas lights and the chocolates that Charlee had in the shop. It made me crave a Christmas market.
I wouldn't be able to write this review without mentioning Matt. What a guy. I honestly don't think I've met anyone as genuine and as heartfelt as he is. He is a true one of a kind!
There is a lot of chocolate talk in this book. I mean serious amounts. I could have easily polished off a few boxes of fancy chocolates if I'd had any, I had to settle for some Cadburys buttons. I would definitely recommend getting some chocolate to eat while reading this.
I really enjoyed this book and I really hope we get a series from this because I want to hear Jodie's story!
