I'm sure we have all seen a Christmas Tree farm up for sale, at the other end of the country,  gone onto the auction site while drunk and purchased the farm without having ever seen it in real life, and then been shocked when it looks nothing like the pictures?

You mean you haven't done that - well it must just be Leah Griffiths, the heroine in this book, where she does exactly that and then has to somehow make a go of it, given she has sunk all her savings into the purchase. 

Leah wasn't expecting the handsome pumpkin farmer next door, and from there first meeting you would wonder why I'm even mentioning him at all, apart from the obviously adorable Gizmo the Chihuahua! 

And for a book about a Christmas Tree Farm I was shocked at the amount of pumpkin that gets into the story, in fact I think this could almost be re-titled 101 things to do with pumpkins, or how to be a pumpkin farmer - as that is exactly that Noel is, but thankfully unlike Leah he also knows everything you need to know about Christmas Tree farming. 

I have learnt a lot about how to be a tree farmer, to if the opportunity ever arises to drunkenly purchase a Christmas tree farm, sight unseen, then I will at least know a whole deal more than Leah did at the same stage. 

If you ever need to gain some new tree puns, please do talk to Noel, he is full of them, most will make you groan, but still rather amusing. 

The community feel of the small town was really strong and I enjoyed seeing Leah's ideas for their Christmas market, and the various tree decorations were really inventive.  The well meaning gossipy new friends were really sweet too, and I just had a wonderful community, feel good feeling from this book. 

I loved, loved, loved this book.  It flowed so well, the writing was great, and it has such imagination in it. I adored the concept and the story was just fabulous - easily one of my favourite books from this talented author. 

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

Christmas trees and snowflakes .. the start of a great holiday book, throw in some hot chocolate and a girl who won a tree farm in an auction she bid her life savings on while drunk and you have the makings of a great holiday book! A truly enjoyable read for the holiday season! I can’t wait to enjoy more of Admans stories.

I don't have a lot to say about Snowflakes at the Little Christmas Tree Farm except this: I want to sell all of my earthly possessions, kiss my husband and kids good-bye with a promise to write, and move to a dilapidated christmas tree farm in Scotland with a hunky pumpkin farmer living next door IMMEDIATELY. 

I devoured this book. It's everything you need in a holiday romance.

This book was absolutely adorable. The main characters were fantastic, although I wasnt a fan of Noel for the beginning bit of the book. Its definitely a nice, snuggle under a blanket on a cold day read.

This is a perfect cozy romance to get you in the holiday spirit.  It was fun and entertaining with likeable characters.  I must seek more of this author’s work!

Cute! Leah and Noel were adorable and now I want to buy a Scottish Christmas tree farm. There was a bit you much information about trees and Noel doubting Leah got old but it turned out cute. Very pg.

Leah wakes up with a hangover and finds she has accidentally bought a Christmas tree farm in Scotland. She leaves behind her old life to embrace her impulse-buy, but soon realises that her dream will involve a lot more hard work than she could ever have imagined. Fortunately she has the help of handsome neighbour Noel to guide her to success. Sparks fly as Leah and Noel work together to achieve their dreams. 

I loved this delightful book. It’s got a great seasonal feel – autumn and Halloween as well as the expected Christmas. The story is told in Leah’s first person narration and she is a very likeable character, trying hard to overcome the sadness and betrayals in her past. Noel is also a very likeable character and one of the dreamiest romantic heroes I’ve read. The blossoming friendship and chemistry are wonderfully written.

I really enjoyed the setting of the neighbouring farms and all the details of Christmas tree care and growing. I don’t know how accurate the details were but it was certainly very believable and now I want a Christmas tree farm! I also liked the supporting characters and the lovely community that Leah becomes a part of. 

I recommend this book to anyone who loves cosy, romantic reads full of Christmassy goodness.

Thank you to NetGalley and HQ Digital for the opportunity to read and review this title.

Snowflakes at the Little Christmas Tree Farm by Jaimie Admans is a perfect Christmas contemporary romance to curl up with by the fire this holiday season. This one especially for anyone who has ever made a drunken impulse buy as surely it couldn’t have been as bad as buying your own tree farm!

Leah Griffiths had been in a taboo relationship with her boss but  that quickly ended when she walked in on him with another co-worker. Unfortunate as the ending to her relationship was the fact this also put Leah out of a job drove her to have a drink or two or three…. After a pretty understandable night with her Prosecco however Leah wakes to find she won an auction, not for a new outfit or pair of shoes but a Christmas tree farm in Scotland!

Well, maybe this was the sign Leah needed as she certainly wasn’t happy in a secret relationship or with her job. Packing up and heading to her new home she finds the meaning of “buyer beware” when the farm looks nothing like the pictures she’s seen. Thankfully though Leah’s new neighbor, Noel, a pumpkin farmer, knows an awfully lot about Leah’s new tree farm.

Having read Jaimie Admans before I had high hopes for this new novel and was grateful they were proven true. I completely fell in love with the characters and setting in  this story the same way I had done previously. While you have a completely heartwarming holiday read you also have plenty of laughs and fun along the way and mix all that with some small town holiday cheer and I was completely caught up until the very end.

I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.

As predictable as this book is it has to be one of my favourite Christmas books this year. The book transports you to a Christmas tree farm in Scotland, imagine spectacular scenery, a clueless female, a know it all male and a cute little dog. Curl up with a great big mug of hot chocolate and fall in love with the whole boy meets girl story. 
Many thanks to Netgalley, Jaimie Admans and Hq digital for the advance copy.

What a perfect festive read - I loved everything about it. Loved it even more as it is set in Aberdeenshire just along the coast from where I live. Jaimie writes such gorgeous characters - and who now doesn't want a Gizmo?? If you haven't read any of her books yet then you must as they are all wonderful.

Thanks to NetGalley and to HQ digital for an advance copy of Snowflakes at the Little Christmas Tree Farm by Jaimie Admans.

Leah's drunken rebound isn't what you'd normally expect. No, Leah's drunken rebound is a neglected little Christmas tree farm in the northern reaches of Scotland ...

Fast-forward four weeks and she's arriving with excited anticipation at both her new business and her new home, to land back down on earth with an almighty bump. The new next-door neighbour might be a bit grumpy, but at least he's also a bit nice to look at. But anyway, Leah isn't looking for *that* kind of relationship ...

I loved the honesty of this story. I loved the dried drool all over her face the morning after the night before. I loved the dilapidated farmhouse - there's no way Seven Brides for Seven Brothers would sort this place out in the course of a single song. And I loved the enormity of the potential disaster that struck.

I also loved the detail. I have no idea if this is how a tree farm is run, but Admans made me believe it to the extent that I'd love a Christmas tree farm of my own.

I'm not keen on present tense writing and, for me, there was a bit too much will-they/won't-they foreplay. I just wanted them to get on with it - both their growing relationship *and* working together to hopefully make a success of the farm. But I realise this is personal preference and I won't give fewer stars because of it.

A nice festive, feelgood story with some good characters, a touch of romance for those who want it, and even a little dog. Oh yes, and snow.

Such a lovely book to read to get you feeling festive. The setting is wonderful and makes you want to go and find a snowy Christmas tree farm, listen to Christmas songs and drink hot chocolate while choosing a tree.
This is the first time I have read a book from this author but it definitely won't be my last

Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and the author for the opportunity to read a complimentary copy of this book in return for review based upon my honest opinion.

This is the second book I’ve read by this author and I enjoyed it just as much of the first, it’s a  wonderful, romantic, funny and adorable book. The holiday season upon us, and as much as I can’t get enough of the Hallmark Christmas movies I loved this book just as much. We have Leah is upset after finding her love interest with somebody else, so she drinks all of her emergency bottles of Prosecco and then proceeds to drunk-buy a Scottish Christmas tree farm on eBay. But she’s a trooper and she packs up and head towards Scotland to run this Christmas tree farm which is run down and the house but even really livable. A series of funny and quirky scenes where she meets Noel, the handsome Scottish next-door neighbour, who is a pumpkin farmer. Reading this book left me wanting pumpkin spice everything with a side of hunky Scotsman.

 It was a really enjoyable story; watching them get to know one another, Leah learning how to be a Christmas tree farmer, the quirky townspeople, Fiona was Fergus, the wonderfully adorable, charming little Chihuahua named Gizmo; it’s just an overall feel good book. 

If you like Christmas movies, this should be your next read.  Can’t wait for this author’s next book.

4,5 Stars

The third book by Jaimie Admans I've read within a year, and so far she hasn't failed me! This one was just as adorable, cute and Christmassy as last years "It's a Wonderful Night". And again it's not only about a heroine and her love-interest, but about a community, helping each other and saving something (in the last book it was a high-street and it's shops, here it is a Christmas market and basically a whole village depending on it). 

I liked how Leah comes up with idea after creative idea of saving the market and her own Christmas Tree Farm. Add to that all the advice on tree growingy maintenance and care that Noel is giving, and you can almost take this book as a business guide on "How to run a Christmas Tree Farm". I thoroughly enjoyed reading about this concept, which was completely new to me. I was aware that the trees they sell at the Christmas Tree stands all around town must grow somewhere, but not that making a "farm" out of it and opening it up to the public is a thing. But it sounds just wonderful! 

A few words about Noel. I liked it a lot that Jaimie Admans only made him grumpy for the very first meeting, unlike in many other books of that genre where he would have stayed negative and unhelping until at least the middle of the book, which is only superfluous drama in my opinion. 
Of course I had to google Luke Evans, to get a clearer picture what Noel looks like. Ok, yes, approved. But for the life of me I cannot understand how a lip piercing can make a man sexier. Whenever I tried to picture it, it was just awkward. And today on my way to work I even saw a man with eyebrow and lip piecing. And believe me, there was nothing sexy about him!

Very close to the end, Admans put in an unnecessary obstacle that I could have done without, especially as it seemed a bit exaggerated. But apart from that the book was a delight to read! And it's predestinated for a sequel!

Leah loses her parents in a car wreck.  Her father had always wanted to move to Scotland and her mother loved Christmas.  Leah sees an auction for a Christmas Tree Farm in Scotland and buys it.  She knows nothing about trees but she moves there to start her new business.  She comes into contact with the pumpkin farmer neighbor Noel first off.  When he rescues her from a crying episode in her car he thinks she will go running back to London.  He starts educating her on Christmas Trees and love sparks.
If you enjoy the Hallmark movies then you will love this book, it is just like watching one of these movies.

Love the concept, but the story runs slow. it's hard to get through. Doesn't grip me like most stories should.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. The characters are so personable, you can't put this one down as you want to know if everything works out!

I absolutely adored this book! This was an unbelievably cozy romantic novel set in a Christmas tree farm. Can you get more adorable than that? Add in a sexy farmer and a determined lady and you have the setting for just the best Christmas romance I think I have ever read! I just loved it so very much! All of the characters were so believable, the plot moved at a comfortable pace, and I really enjoyed reading it before bed each night. It was calming and wonderful and I cannot wait to read another piece written by Jaimie!

What could be worse than catching your boyfriend cheating on you? Drunkenly buying an unseen Christmas tree farm in Scotland could top the cake, especially when you find out the exact condition said Christmas tree farm is in. 

This is the exact situation Leah Griffiths finds herself in just two months before December. What is a city girl to do? Surely she can’t rely on the sexy pumpkin farmer next door to help her out...or can she? 

With a lot of sweat and a huge learning curve, can Leah roll up her sleeves and save Christmas? 


Oh, how difficult it is to articulate how much I loved this book! I think my love affair began when Leah, Who was being questioned about her new purchase of the farm, responded with “I like Christmas and I like trees so why not?”. And have I mentioned I ADORE how obsessed her best friend Chelsea is with David Tennant saying “murder” and “Miller” in Broadchurch? Because I was, too! 

The relationships in this book were fantastic, complex, and after reading this, I need to visit Elffield and the Christmas market now!

The only reason I rated this 4 stars instead of 5 was because the sexual tension reminded me of high school. Will they? Won’t they? Oh, they are doing something, but the porch light came on and now he has to go! Grrr. I needed more adult times and I felt like the scene at the tree could have turned into something. However, I like how we got to see a relationship form rather than simply see sexy adult times. 

Overall, this was a fantastic book and put me in the Christmas spirit.

This book was provided by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Leah thought a bit of Prosecco would make her forget seeing her boyfriend with another woman. And it did … it just also made her forget buying a Christmas tree farm in Scotland. After coming to her senses, she’s shocked, but the idea of trekking off to Scotland and running her own business is more than appealing. And while the farm itself isn’t quite what she thought it would be, it has potential—just like the handsome pumpkin farmer next door.

Everyone makes regrettable decisions, but Leah takes things to the extreme when she buys a Christmas tree farm after a few too many drinks. At the start, she’s at an incredible low point, having just left her job after discovering her boyfriend/boss has been having an affair. Author Jaimie Admans certainly knows how to make Leah suffer in these opening chapters. She’s lost so much, but it’s effective in that Leah is such a likable character—funny with genuine humility—it’s impossible not to want to see her snatch her own happy ending.

But Admans doesn’t make it easy for her. Turns out, running a Christmas tree farm is hard work—even more so when it’s fallen into disrepair! Admans peppers in rich detail about the trees and the actual work involved in farming, and she does so in a way that’s informative while propelling the action forward. Leah, while growing more confident and comfortable with herself, also grows as a farmer, and before long she’s discovering herself while tossing out her own tree knowledge to the reader.

As Leah comes into her own, she’s supported by a marvelous cast of characters in the Scottish countryside. As charming as a Christmas tree farm itself is, the community surrounding it is almost doubly so. Admans expertly plops Leah into a cast of introverts who carve out a place for her if she’s willing to take it. Leading the charge is Noah, the farmer next door. Initially abrasive, there’s plenty of friction between the two, but Admans carefully pushes them together until they’re an irresistible pair—and what’s more, she cleverly finds a way to completely justify his initial behavior while keeping him sympathetic.

Romantic and empowering, Snowflakes at the Little Christmas Tree Farm combines the magic of a new start with the Christmas season. It’s downright charming.
