Ever After Street
Jaimie Admans
About the book:
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, but Franca Andrews has never felt more miserable. With business far from bustling, she needs a Christmas miracle to keep her beloved nutcracker shop open… But there’s one man standing in her way – expert snow globe maker Raff Dardenne.
Dardenne Snow Globes have a magical reputation for bringing lovers together, a myth Raff continues to exploit. But this Christmas their shops are pitted against each other and only one gets to stay on Ever After Street. Franca doesn’t know how her handmade nutcrackers are ever going to compete with Raff’s snow globes, especially at the most magical time of the year!
As these two enemies get to know each other, Franca discovers another side to Raff – kind, caring and funny. But unless she can prove that his magical snow globes can’t really match true lovers together, she’s going to lose everything…
My thoughts:
Jaimie Admans’ Christmas Ever After is the perfect festive instalment to the beloved Ever After Street series, and it absolutely shines with heart, humour, and Christmas magic!
Franca has lost her love for Christmas, and after watching her parents’ marriage fall apart, she’s also given up on romance. Now, she channels all her energy into one-upping her longtime rival, Raff Dardenne, who owns a snow globe shop with a magical history of bringing couples together. Franca, meanwhile, is famous for her handcrafted nutcrackers, and the rivalry between them has been simmering for years. But when a humiliating accident during a live-streamed holiday event leaves Franca with broken fingers, everything changes. Unable to work, she finds herself reluctantly accepting help from none other than Raff—and soon, their feud begins to melt into something entirely unexpected.
Raff is a beautifully flawed character, and as Franca starts to see beyond their rivalry, the chemistry between them becomes irresistible. Their enemies-to-lovers journey is filled with touching moments and festive charm, making their romance feel magical. Watching Franca’s walls come down and her rediscovery of Christmas joy was both heartwarming and relatable, especially with Raff’s gentle support.
This story is more than just a romance—it’s about healing, embracing love, and finding magic in the most unexpected places. I loved the return to Ever After Street, with its enchanting setting and the sense of community that brings the story to life. The small, whimsical touches, from nutcrackers to snow globes, add an extra layer of holiday warmth.
Christmas Ever After is a joyous, uplifting read that will leave you smiling long after the final page. Jaimie Admans has crafted a wonderfully cozy, festive love story. If you’re a fan of holiday romance, this is an absolute must-read!
