Flora's Travelling Christmas Shop by Rebecca Raisin #Review

 

Here is another glorious festive read! Flora's Travelling Christmas Shop by Rebecca Raisin was published on October 28th by HQ Digital. 


ā€˜Tis the season for mulled wine, mince pies, and magic under the mistletoeā€¦

Flora loves Christmas more than anything else in the world, so sheā€™s gutted when her Scrooge-alike boss fires her from Deck the Halls Christmas emporium. But now she finally has a chance to follow her dreams ā€“ and what better place to start than the home of Christmas?

Before she can say ā€˜sleigh bellsā€™, Floraā€™s on her way to Lapland in a campervan-cum-Christmas-shop. She canā€™t wait to spend her days drinking hot chocolate and taking reindeer-drawn carriage rides, but something Flora didnā€™t expect was meeting Connor, a Norse god of a man who makes her heart flutter and snowflakes swirl in her stomach. Thereā€™s just one problem: Connor hates Christmas.

Can Flora convince Connor of the joys of Christmas ā€“ and will she find a festive romance along the way?


 My Thoughts

This is one of those joyous festive reads which I loved. Flora is an interesting character, with some quirky traits and the tendency to wear her heart on her sleeve. She has never quite felt that she fitted in anywhere and sets out to join the van Lifers and travel to Lapland. She is the ideal person to do this with her absolute love of all things Christmas and her firm belief that the Christmas spirit enhances everything. Once there, she meets up with a whole variety of characters, not all of whom are as keen on festive celebrations as she is. Connor, the manager responsible for making sure the Van Lifers follow the rules. He hates Christmas as much as Flora adores it.

    Any reader of this romcom is going to love the setting with its glorious northern light skies and beautiful snowy forest rides. The local Christmas market sounds so inviting. I also smiled at Flora's love of the Hallmark movie and egged on by her friend how she wanted to be the heroine in her own Hallmark story. Friendship is shown to endure no matter the distance as Flora looks for somewhere to call home and someone to belong to.

In short: finding romance below the northern lights
