Snowflakes at the Little Christmas Tree Farm (ePub)

4,5 Stars

The third book by Jaimie Admans I've read within a year, and so far she hasn't failed me! This one was just as adorable, cute and Christmassy as last years "It's a Wonderful Night". And again it's not only about a heroine and her love-interest, but about a community, helping each other and saving something (in the last book it was a high-street and it's shops, here it is a Christmas market and basically a whole village depending on it).

I liked how Leah comes up with idea after idea of saving the market and her own Christmas Tree Farm. Add to that all the advice on tree growingy maintenance and care that Noel is giving, and you can almost take this book as a business guide on "How to run a Christmas Tree Farm". I thoroughly enjoyed reading about this concept, which was completely new to me. I was aware that the trees they sell at the Christmas Tree stands all around town must grow somewhere, but not that making a "farm" out of it and opening it up to the public is a thing. But it sounds just wonderful!

A few words about Noel. I liked it a lot that Jaimie Admans only made him grumpy for the very first meeting, unlike in many other books of that genre where he would have stayed negative and unhelping until at least the middle of the book, which is only superfluous drama in my opinion.
Of course I had to google Luke Evans, to get a clearer picture what Noel looks like. Ok, yes, approved. But for the life of me I cannot understand how a lip piercing can make a man sexier. Whenever I tried to picture it, it was just awkward. And today on my way to work I even saw a man with eyebrow and lip piecing. And believe me, there was nothing sexy about him!

Very close to the end, Admans put in an unnecessary obstacle that I could have done without, especially as it seemed a bit exaggerated. But apart from that the book was a delight to read! And it's predestinated for a sequel!
