Christmas in the picturesque village of Willowbrook should be dreamy – twinkling fairylights, snow in the air, and a busy time for Amélie in the repair workshop she owns, restoring furniture and mending treasured objects for locals to give as Christmas gifts. But in the tiny community, Amélie keeps bumping into her ex, Jack – and it’s killing her festive feeling.

Jack and Amélie were perfect for each other… until one day they weren’t. And when Jack’s attempt at reconciliation goes wrong, he finds himself locked in Amélie’s van.

Driving to her aunt’s house in the South of France, Amélie thinks she’s finally going to get some peace over the festive period, but like it or not, she’ll now be spending Christmas trapped on holiday with Jack. Could it help unwrap the secret to why they split up? Or will it be a gift they’d rather exchange?

My Thoughts:

Christmas time is a busy time for Amelie who runs a repair workshop and she is busy fixing and restoring all different items for the community surrounding her. What she does not need is her ex cropping up all over the place, she has accepted it is over between them but he does not and wants her back. After a big mishap when she is driving to her aunt’s house she hopes to have gotten away from him and work out how she feels when he unexpectedly turns up. Can they give it one more try or give up for good. It was a nice and easy story to follow along with. I liked reading about the restoring side of things as I have not read much about it before and love watching the TV show about it. This story was right up my street, Christmas, romance and great food. Well worth a read.
