Story4.5 out of 5 stars 255
Kate Potter used to love Christmas. A few years ago, she would have been wrapping her presents in September and baking mince pies on Halloween, counting down the days and hours to Christmas. But that was before Kate’s husband left for the army and never came home. Now she can hardly stand December at all. Kate can’t deny she’s lonely, yet she doesn’t think she’s ready for romance. She knows that her son, Jack, needs a Christmas to remember - just like Kate needs a miracle to help her finally move forward with her life. So she’s decided she’ll have to make her own miracle.

No one loves Christmas more than editorial assistant Eve Pilkins. But when her boss hits her with a huge deadline on Christmas Day, it looks like Eve's favourite time of the year might be cancelled. Armed with as much enthusiasm as she can muster, she travels to the coldest part of England, tasked with ensuring brooding author Edward Priest finishes his latest novel on time. The festive spirit at Cranberry Cross is as dark as the house itself; without a fairy light in sight, it looks like only a Christmas miracle can save this one. Will Eve be up to the task?

When her best friend says she's recommended Christa for a gig as a private chef over the Christmas period, Christa can't think of a reason to say no. Christa has no idea what to expect but it's certainly not grumpy billionaire divorcee Marc Ferrier and his rambunctious twin sons, or the beautiful but cheerless country estate, Pudding Hall, that they inhabit.

Holly has the place to herself this Christmas. It’s not her place, though – she is house-sitting for friends who live on Nightingale Square – just there to keep the place warm and cosy and only for long enough for her to sort her life out. Newly single and finding herself unsure about next steps for her career, she plans to hunker down and make some life decisions. To clear her mind, she sets off on early morning walks around a nearby lake and bumps into May, an older lady who is also new to the area, and her dapper Dachshund Monty.

Publisher's summary
The most magical time of the year....
For the first time in 10 years, Freya is back in the little village of Middlemass for Christmas. The streets might be twinkling with fairy lights, but after the recent loss of her mother, she's never felt less festive.
Forced to sleep under the same roof as her handsome neighbour Finn, Freya realises she's going to need a distraction—fast! So she sets herself a challenge: to cook the '12 Days of Christmas'. Her delicious food soon brings the villagers together, and as each day passes, old friendships are renewed, memories stirred and there's even the flickering of romance....
She was only meant to stay for the holidays, but could Middlemass—and Finn—steal her heart forever?
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Angela can feel the clock ticking. She is single in New York City, stuck in a job she doesn't want and a life that seems to have somehow just happened. She inherited a flair for Italian cooking from her grandmother, but she never seems to have the time for it - these days, her oven holds only sweaters. Tacked to her office bulletin board is a photo from a magazine of a tidy cottage on the coast of Maine - a charming reminder of a life that could be hers if she could only muster the courage to go after it.

worth the time
While many Christmas stories are saccharin sweet, this story is full of heartbreak. Freya has returned home just in time to say goodbye to her dying mother. What follows is Freya's attempt to right her rather tilted world. With the help of Finn, a childhood acquaintance, and her passion for cooking, Freya traverses a gambit of emotions: loss, guilt, regret, hope, friendship, and love.
A rather unusual Christmas story, but beautifully told. Worth the time.

Fantastic!
Great writing and excellent narration. I was pleased to discover that nearly all mouthwatering dishes described in the book (the protagonist is a chef who cooks to cope with her emotions, and the author a high-level cook herself) were included at the end! they are worth getting the paper copy which I am setting off to do. I am having a great time discovering British Christmas novels while on winter break from university studies, and I have another week to polish off a few more, starting with another by the same author!

Repetitive internal dialogue
I never really warmed up to the main character. She came across as selfish and self absorbed which never really changed. I didn’t like her much and she had the same internal dialogue over and over. No depth to this book and problems resolved like magic…I guess it is a Christmas book. Just okay
