From the New York Times best-selling author of Little Beach Street Bakery and The Bookshop on the Corner comes a delightful holiday tale full of sweetness, love, heartbreak, and happiness - perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber and Elin Hilderbrand.

Rosie Hopkins, newly engaged, is looking forward to an exciting year in the little English sweetshop she owns. But when fate deals Rosie and her boyfriend Stephen a terrible blow, threatening everything they hold dear, it's going to take all their strength and the support of their families and their friends to hold them together.

After all, don't they say it takes a village to raise a child?

Not Perfect but I Loved It

I finished this book and the first thing I did was look for the next book I the series. Sadly, one does not exist. I would love to see where a Book 4 would have taken these characters.

Always a delight!

I’m so glad to visit Lipton and its colorful characters again! Always a delight. There’s always the worry of it all falling apart, but the underlying comfort that something will pull it together at the last moment: it’s a nice respite from heavier readings.

Cute

A mostly sweet Christmas story. Closed door/spice free, and definitely some TW that should be here (miscarriage, death of a parent on page, adoption).

Feel good, funny, well written series

Darling and addictive. Christmas stories not to be missed. Jenny Colgan is my new favorite author and should not be missed. Pearl Hewitt as narrator is an absolute charmer.

Great story and a new series and author for me!

I love the characters the realness and the way the story unfolds. Very comfortable and keeps my interest. Just lovely!

Adorable story!

What an adorable story, with love, family, laughter, and reality too! A great book to take your time to listen to, without having to pay attention to all the details.

Not for me.

Too much swearing. Story would have been ok if there wasn’t so much swearing. Bought it to read a calm, sweet story. Not one that caused stress.

Peace on earth 🎄

Truly home the series continues, but if not, it was a wonderful ride. Terrific characters. Beautiful scenery. Heartfelt story. Highly recommend.

This is a fabulous book to listen to around the holidays! Definitely recommend

If you are not feeling in the holiday spirit, this book will definitely inspire you. The visual imagery definitely yeah put me in the holiday spirit.

Beautiful Christmas Story!

Loved all of it! Great listen for when you don’t want a mushy romantic Christmas story and maybe want a break from a good cozy mystery.
