paddlefoot55 's review for:

The Christmas House by Victoria James
4.0

ARC received via Netgalley for an honest review

Yay for Christmas stories! I could read them all year round (especially this year when we will be lucky to see family for Christms - thanks 'rona)

I was expecting the usual Christmas fare, with eggnog and hot chocolate and happy families.

While we sort of got that, we got a lot more too. We got family dramas (like every other Christmas book out there) but they were a lot deeper and darker and a lot more emotional than I was expecting.

Can I say I hated one character in particular who is so darn selfish that I just wanted to punt her out of the room every time she she showed up.

I adored the connection between Charlotte and Wyatt, from the beginning right to the end. You can't help but want, no need them to be together.

I smiled a lot whilst reading, and there were times reading that got me all down. But Ms James picked me right back up again.

I haven't read any other books by Ms James, but I will keep an eye out for more in the future
