Christman Ever After by Jaimie Admans

I love Jaimie Admans’ books, I love a Christmas book, and I love an ‘enemies to lovers’ book – How excited was I to get this book which has all 3!! This is one of a series of books about ‘Ever After Street’ but can be happily read as a stand-alone book.

 

Franca is an ex-ballet dancer who runs a nutcracker stall on Ever After Street where it’s Christmas all year long. It would be perfect if it wasn’t for Raf, who runs the snow globe shop nearby. Raf has taken over the shop from his grandfather, and Franca blames him for her parent’s divorce and her horrible childhood. Things get to such a bad place between the two owners that the owners say that the two shops have to prove themselves and one will be leaving. That suits Franca until Raf inadvertently causes an accident which breaks some of her fingers – effectively stopping her working.

 

I love the characters of Franca and Raf. Both have different things from their childhood which affect their personalities. Franca has divorced parents who hate each other and ruined her childhood. Raf has to go into his grandfather’s business but really doesn’t want to – however Raf’s family are wonderful and very supportive. Jaimie Admans has done it again – not only do I want to read more Ever After books – I want to live there!
