This is a first for me by this author but won't be the last.

Twins Holly & Ivy's mum first opened Christmas Every Day as she loves Christmas, but sadly their mum passes away.

Ivy also loves Christmas and vowed to take over the running of her mother’s store and keep the Christmas spirit alive in the idyllic seaside town of Marram Bay. She is trying to keep their mother's memory alive, and trying to give her niece and nephew a Christmas to remember, but she's also worried about Holly who seems to be hiding something! 

Holly is the opposite and hates Christmas she has two children and a husband who works away a lot, so finds it hard being on her own.

Everything is about to change for Ivy when enigmatic businessman Seb moves to the town, threatening to bulldoze her beloved shop to make way for a holiday complex. 

Can Ivy save her shop before Christmas? She comes across many hurdles whilst trying to raise the cash to buy the store, but her employee Gaz has ideas (even if they aren't what Ivy wants) to pull the people in.

Can she get Seb to change his mind or even compromise? Could there be a different side to the newest resident of Marram Bay that would make all her Christmas wishes come true?

As someone who loves Christmas this was a brilliant read and the idea of Christmas Every Day was amazing!

A heart-warming, uplifting book that had me captivated from the first chapter.

I enjoyed this story but I’ve recently read Dear Santa by Nancy Naigle and the plot was a bit too similar for my liking. A fun festive tale if you haven’t read the other book though, a relaxing quick read.

I had never heard of this author before but now want to read more of her books as if anything like this one be worth it as simply brilliant and hooked from the first page and was so heartwarming and romantic and finding what it is you want from life and about families.  It's written so well and fabulous from the first page and really didn't want it to end. Full of Christmas in many ways and so beautiful and amazingly well written. Worth far more than the five stars and high recommend anyone to read it. It is an easy read but with quality content and you really think you are there in the beautiful village.  
Ivy just loves Christmas and following in her mums footsteps. Her mum opened a Christmas shop that is open all year and when she dies ivy takes it over and lives in the flat above the shop. The shop isn't doing as well as it could do but she's happy. Her sister holly is the opposite and hates Christmas she has two children but her husband works away so hard being on her own. Everything is going well but one day a handsome man walks in to the shop called Seb he says he's moving to the beautiful Marram Bay and Ivy does feel her heart skip a beat when she sees him. Problem is she soon gets a phone call from the owner of the shop saying he's selling up as moving away and he's got a buyer but sadly it's Seb who she loved and he wants her out as he wants to change the whole area in a holiday park. Can Ivy save the shop and move forward as she doesn't want to loose the shop as its really her mums and she can't let her mum down. She comes across many hurdles when trying to raise the cash but by employing Gaz in her shop he has ideas to pull the people in. Know one is happy about what Seb wants to do but Ivy still has feeling for Seb but so cross as well will he change her mind about getting out and giving the shop up or will she stuck it out and stay in the shop or will she realise that the building isn't what hold memories of her mum they are in her heart so can she compromise with him. Can they both be happy and get what they want and can they find romance or not.  
Simply so well written and you just curl up and read it in front of a warm fire and think of Christmas an amazing story.

Easily my favourite Christmas book of the season so far - this one has all the elements I love in a feel good Christmas story - a fight to save a business,  an open all year round Christmas Shop, a pair of twins with very festive names and differing personalities, a sexy businessman that is cast in the bad guy role, a cheeky chappy playing Santa, and all the festive food you could ever want. 

In fact the scene involving the Christmas Cake tasting was hilarious, although I have to agree with Ivy's feelings on the subject of Christmas cake. 

I really don't know where to start in extolling the virtues of this book, it really was a purely pleasurable way to spend some time, with the residents of Marram Bay. If that is a familiar sounding location to you then you will be right, it was the setting for Summer Secrets at the Apple Blossom Deli but apart from a few cameos from those characters, this was a wholly brand new story that can be read as a standalone. 

This has easily shot to the top of my favourite Portia MacIntosh books list - its has Christmas, it has a shop, food, relationships, banter, humour, a kissing booth, some sweet children and fabulous writing.  It had me smiling from ear to ear throughout. 

Holly and Ivy are incredibly different twins and for Ivy who is trying to save her shop from its seemingly  inevitable closure, trying to keep their mother's memory alive, and giving her niece and nephew a christmas to remember, she is also worried about Holly as she seems to be hiding something. 

There are three main men in this book - Gaz, Seb and Santa.  Yes Santa gets a big part, but that's because having him in a Christmas shop makes a lot of sense, as does all the other things that Ivy tries to raise the money to stop Seb from demolishing her shop.  Seb is the smooth developer who appears to be charming the whole town, but also getting under Ivy's skin.  Then there is Gaz who I believe has heart of gold even if he shows it in not the best ways. I really liked Gaz, even if some of what he did wasn't quite what Ivy wanted. 

And then there is the shop at the heart of the book - easily my favourite shoop of all the fictional ones I have read about this year (of which there are many). It is Christmas every single day in the shop, and it sounded amazing. I could really picture it and wanted to jump on a train up to Marram Bay to visit for myself. 

This is a wonderful story, it has certainly made me very aware Christmas is coming, without necessarily giving me the warm fuzzy feeling of the season - but is definitely a great way to ease myself into getting more and more festive!  

I'm almost ready to start hunting down the Christmas music and film channels on TV, but its only September so I'd probably be disappointed. But what won't disappoint is this joy to read story that I adored every second of. 

Thank you to Netgalley and HQ Digital for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
