If you are looking for a festive read, look no further than Jaimie Admans' latest romcom, The Post Box at the North Pole which was published by HQ Digital on 18th October.
Dear Santa,
I wish I could believe in magic again.
From, Sasha.
Sasha Hansley hates Christmas. As a child, it was her
favourite time of year, but ever since the tragic death of her mother, it has
completely lost its magic.
But when she gets an unexpected phone call from her
eccentric estranged father, she’s forced to dust off her snow boots.
He has been running a Lapland-style Christmas village in
Norway and after suffering a heart attack, he is on strict doctor’s orders to
slow down. Eager to reconnect with her dad, Sasha books the next flight out
there. Only she has never actually been on a plane before, let alone to the
Arctic Circle.
Met at the runway by
drop-dead-gorgeous Taavi Salvesen, they sleigh ride through the snow with the
Northern Lights guiding their way.
When Sasha uncovers
sacks of unopened Santa mail – letters that children and adults from all over
the world write to Santa every year – she realises that she can send a little
bit of magic out into the world by replying to some of them.
With Taavi on hand to
help, will Sasha rediscover her own excitement for Christmas and find love
among the letters?
The Post Box at the North Pole is like one big romantic mug
of hot chocolate with extra whipped cream and a splash of Christmas magic! Fans
of Holly Martin, Sarah Morgan and Heidi Swain will love this novel!
My Thoughts
This is such a special festive read! Set in northern Norway, it has all the ingredients for a Christmas book. At the North Pole Forest, you will find lashings of snow, forests, the northern lights, reindeer, elves, Father Christmas himself and all the sounds and smells you associate with the season, right down to the delicious hot chocolate and pancakes. I loved the story. It is so warm and uplifting and captures the spirit of the Christmas season. Kindness and helping others are in the DNA of the place.
It is the perfect setting for a festive romance. I loved how every chapter started with a letter to Santa. The letters captured the innocence of the children who had sent them and were full of humour. Tav is an interesting character with a few secrets in his past and the chemistry he shared with Sasha was off the scale. Sasha and her father's relationship has some issues to work through but her love for family causes her to take a massive step outside her comfort zone when she travels to North Pole Forest. It may need a bit of TLC, but enough Christmas magic to capture your heart.
In short: An enchanting Christmas read
About the Author
Jaimie is a 36-year-old English-sounding Welsh girl with an
awkward-to-spell name. She lives in South Wales and enjoys writing, gardening,
watching horror movies, and drinking tea, although she’s seriously considering
marrying her coffee machine. She loves autumn and winter, and singing songs
from musicals despite the fact she’s got the voice of a dying hyena. She hates
spiders, hot weather, and cheese & onion crisps. She spends far too much
time on Twitter and owns too many pairs of boots.
She will never have time to read all the books she wants to
read.
She is the author of several romantic comedies for
HarperCollins - The Chateau of Happily Ever Afters, The Little Wedding Island,
It's a Wonderful Night, The Little Vintage Carousel by the Sea, Snowflakes at the
Little Christmas Tree Farm, The Little Bookshop of Love Stories, The Wishing
Tree Beside the Shore, The Little Christmas Shop on Nutcracker Lane, and The
