I have had the pleasure of reading Reichert’s books before this one so I was excited to be able to review this upcoming release.
Known for her delightful women’s fiction with a splash of light romance, this story kicks off the holiday stories, coming soon to a book seller near you! I love holiday romance!
Read on for my thoughts on this unique read!
Once Upon a December by Amy E. Reichert
Publisher : Berkley (October 4, 2022)
ISBN-13 : 978-0593197790
OVERVIEW:
With a name like Astra Noel Snow, holiday spirit isn’t just a seasonal specialty—it’s a way of life. But after a stinging divorce, Astra’s yearly trip to the Milwaukee Christmas market takes on a whole new meaning. She’s ready to eat, drink, and be merry, especially with the handsome stranger who saves the best kringle for her at his family bakery.
For Jack Clausen, the Julemarked with its snowy lights and charming shops stays the same, while the world outside the joyful street changes, magically leaping from one December to the next every four weeks. He’s never minded living this charmed existence until Astra shows him the life he’s been missing outside of the festive red brick alley.
After a swoon-worthy series of dates, some Yuletide magic, and the unexpected glow of new love, Astra and Jack must decide whether this relationship can weather all seasons, or if what they’re feeling is as ephemeral as marshmallows in a mug of hot cocoa.
Once Upon a December by Amy E. Reichert Review
I was totally not expecting this book! Reichert has crafted a romance for the ages, literally. What a special treat.
A bit of a fanciful story, we have been whisked away to a neverland of whimsey and treated to love unlike any we have experienced.
Imagine living in a world of baking and Christmas markets all year long, then meeting someone you have a connection with, only to be not able to date her or meet her outside in the world as we know it. Frustrating!
The author has put on her Christmas hat and conjured up all sorts of interesting details and sweetness that will have you wishing for the holidays! Spiked hot cocoa and holiday hats are galore!
The characters are fun and a delight to read and grow with too. Jack is my favorite as his heart is pure and sweet!
For a story that is a delight all the way around and a beautiful clean romance, Once Upon a December is a story that you will fall for with that sweet ending!
4 STARS!
