Jaimie is fast becoming one of my must-read authors and I definitely need to start reading her back catalogue and soon!
An Enchanted Moment on Ever After Street is just lovely and is set in a bookshop - what more could a book need? Jaimie has me as soon as I open one of her books and when the characters start talking about one of my favourite books from childhood (and still one of my favourites if I’m honest), The Magic Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton then I’ve called under Jaimie’s spell, hook, line and sinker.
Marnie and Darcy are just two wonderful main characters and I adore Marnie’s cat, Mrs Potts. So much of this book is based on Beauty and the Beast. There is nothing not to love.
I didn’t realise that this was part of a series, but no matter, it can absolutely be read as a standalone, but I can promise you that I will be going back and reading the rest.
Thank you to NetGalley, Boldwood Books and Rachel’s Random Resources for the opportunity to read and review An Enchanted Moment on Ever After Street by Jaimie Admans.
About the Book
A brand new and utterly enchanting series by bestselling author Jaimie Admans. A picture-perfect town, a place where dreams come true. Welcome to Ever After Street...
A tale as old as time…
Since her mum’s death, Marnie Platt has shut herself away from everyone who cares about her. Worse, her beloved bookshop on Ever After Street is suffering too. With sales down and the shop’s garden falling into disrepair, Marnie risks losing the very last thing she loves. Until a chance encounter with her surly and reclusive neighbour….
Dark and brooding, Darcy O'Connell likes to keep himself to himself. But when he hears Marnie needs help, he can’t turn his back on her. Soon they are spending most evenings together in her enchanted garden and a friendship starts to bloom…
With the help of old and new friends on Ever After Street, Marnie's bookshop begins to thrive again, and with Darcy's kindness, she starts to get her sparkle back too. She just can't understand why Darcy continues to shut himself away - especially from her. Can she convince him it isn't too late to embrace life, and maybe love, again?
Because every story, even theirs, deserves a happy ending….
About Jaimie
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 Post Box at the North Pole.
