“Sparkles with warmth, wit, and a sweet helping of holiday charm! The perfect stocking stuffer for readers who crave all the holiday feels and a happy ending!”—Rachel Linden, bestselling author of The Magic of Lemon Drop Pie

Inspired by Jane Austen’s Emma, this joyful Christmas romp tells the story of a woman who can’t stop trying to help everyone around her find their happily-ever-after—even when her help leads to disaster.

Frankie Lane knows what’s best for just about everyone but herself. Her divorced sister, Stef, who is too young to give up on love; her shy employee, Elinor; and her daughter, Natalie, who works in Frankie’s shop, Holiday Happiness, and really needs to start her own business selling the delectable chocolates she makes at home; even her best friend, Viola, who is trying to renovate her old Victorian. Frankie knows she could help all of them, if they’d just let her—and if all of her help didn’t end in utter disaster.

Then there’s Mitch Howard, the owner of the local hardware store. They’ve been friends ever since Frankie opened her store, nine years earlier. He got her through the nightmare when she lost her husband in a freak accident, and he’s her favorite shoulder to cry on. He’s been divorced for years, and it’s such a waste of man! Mitch is the fittest, finest man Frankie knows. He’s easygoing, wise and kindhearted. Mitch needs someone. And she’s determined to help him find that someone—whether he likes it or not.

A fun Christmas read where you become invested in the characters happy ending.

I really liked Frankie and Steph. I wasn’t surprised by how Frankie’s situation turned out but I was intrigued by the relationship that develops with Steph and the tension that was created. Such a fun and in places laugh out loud Christmas adventure.

The Christmas magic

This was a great story about family, friends and Christmas . Such a nice community. I recommend this book for those of you who like sweet Christmas stories

Love with open eyes

Characters were strong and full of witt.Very special love interaction humor,silly but fun and enjoyable read.

Sooo cheesy

Like a really bad hallmark movie. So cringy, annoying characters, simple plot. Only finished because it was a book club book

This book is such a drag to listen to

The main character in this book is judgmental and offputting. The story is not exciting. I never stop books in the middle but I am not going to make myself listen to this
