I was so egg-cited to start my third Christmas-themed romance read of the year! Tell me I’m not the only one who is excited for the holly-days. What can I say? I’m a sentimental sap who is pining for all things festive. *snorts*

Sorry! I’ll stop with the puns now. Just my little homage to Noel.

*giggles*

*clears throat*

Depending on your POV, some of your best or worst decisions can be made under the influence of a glass or two of Prosecco.

Whaaa? Don’t look at me like that. We’re talking about Leah here, not me. My lips are sealed. *blushes*

Now, where was I? *taps chin*

Ah, yes.

Now, I’m sure we’ve all had a ‘waking up after the night before’ moment, but I don’t think many of us awaken to find out we’d purchased a Christmas Tree farm, and all responsibilities that entails.

A new beginning is exactly what Leah Griffiths needs. The last couple of years have been tough to say the least and if anyone needs to find their happy, it’s Leah.

Set in the picturesque Scottish countryside (I’m biased, I know), SATLCTF is ridiculously romantic, festive and full of Christmas spirit. My tender-hearted, over-productive tear ducts can attest to this fact.

I only have one quibble with the story, I have lived in Scotland for 41 years (shut it!), and I have yet to meet such a fine specimen as Noel. Honestly, he is hazardous to your ovaries. *smirks* Add little Gizmo into the mix and it's cuteness overload. Ovaries exploding in 3, 2, 1...

I honestly wondered if Jaimie could top It’s A Wonderful Night, as that story holds such a special place in my heart.

What can I say? SATLCTF shines all on its own!

I loved, loved, loved this book. What a great way to get into the Christmas spirit. Learning about all that goes into Christmas Tree farming only made this book more special. The author did a great job developing all the characters and their fun personalities. Such a wonderful read.

My goodness am I excited for Christmas! This book made me feel all sorts of Christmassy, from the setting on an actual Christmas tree farm, to the markets, to the food to just everything! It was truly a lovely read and perfect for curling up on a quiet evening with a mug of tea or perhaps a hot chocolate.

We've all heard of the mistakes that may occur when one isn't necessarily in their right minds, but buying a Christmas tree farm in the last few seconds of an auction certainly is a new one. But, that's exactly what our protagonist, Leah does. And she follows through with it, packing up and moving to Scotland to a Christmas tree farm that she hasn't inspected, and has just bought... And boy, does it need work. While there, she meets her handsome and quite grumpy (to be honest) neighbour Noel (more on him later) and so the adventure begins...

Characters:
Leah - I liked her well enough. She was a bit spunky and definitely determined which is always a fantastic characteristic, and I really enjoyed seeing her grow in her farming abilities but also in realising her own potential as a business owner.
Noel - perhaps an unpopular opinion, but honestly? Not my favourite lead. Although I could see some of the characteristics that make him popular - strong, (mostly) kind, cares for Leah, attractive, etc. I just couldn't get over how almost abnormally moody I found him at times. Of course, for some of these times, there were plotting reasons but I still didn't enjoy that aspect of his character.

Storyline and Plotting:
Perhaps one of the more original plots I've read in recent Christmas novels, there were delightful twists and the overall plotting was well done. the story at times did move a bit slowly for me - for example the time spent detailing the more agricultural side of the Christmas tree farm (although congratulations to the author for showing that this was definitely well-researched!), moved a bit too slowly for me personally.

Overall:
I did enjoy this novel - and it is indeed perfect for reading as we edge closer towards the festive season. A couple of things for me here and there that didn't quite hit the mark, but overall a nice read!

Note: I was very kindly gifted an ARC of this novel by the publisher and the author via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

This is the first time I have read a book by Admans and I so wish I had discovered her sooner. This was a well written book that really helped me feel all christmassy. It was funny and sweet. I loved everything about this book, from the setting to the characters. I did find it difficult to put down, I managed to read it in one day. It also reminded me of the Christmas movies I enjoy watching on the Christmas Channel. I absolutely loved reading this and look forward to reading more from Jaimie Admans.

What a lovely festive read this was. Leah and her determination to make her new venture was delight. Loved all of her new ideas to revive the farm and the market as well. Loved gruff but lovely Noel and his adorable dog Gizmo. The development of their love story and how they opened up to each other was handled very well. A great read for the season.

This book warms your heart and restores your faith in love. Lee still grieving for her parents and cheated on by her boyfriend boss buys a Christmas tree farm in a drunken moment. This act of madness changes her life forever. Noel her hunky too good to be true neighbour becomes her knight in shining armour. As predictable as the ending is you wouldn’t want it any other way. Love it.

This is such a heartwarming Christmas themed romance. Leah finds her boyfriend in a compromising situation with a co-worker so she quits her job, gets drunk and purchases a Christmas tree farm in Scotland. Of course she is horrified the next day but realizes she needs a new start to get over her cheating ex and move on with her life. She arrives to find the Christmas tree farm is not quite like the pictures but is determined to make a go of it. Her grumpy neighbor Noel is as hot as they come and he doubts her ability and commitment but he is won over as is the town of Elffield. This is a charming romance and is all about community and second chances.

Jaimie Admans has done it again! I don’t know how each of her books is more amazing than the last, but they are. Snowflakes at the Little Christmas Tree Farm was charming, funny, and romantic - a total delight.

I loved Leah and Noel and found them both really relatable. I completely understand Leah’s desire to take a huge leap and change things up. I thought she was equal parts brave and crazy (in the best way possible!) for moving her entire life from London to Scotland to follow a dream that involved something she actually knew nothing about - Christmas tree farming. I have to admit grumpy heroes aren’t typically my thing, but I sensed right from the beginning there were deep layers beneath Noel’s initial attitude toward Leah. He proved himself again and again, and he ended up being the sweetest, most sensitive, squishiest cinnamon roll of a man underneath that grumpiness, and I absolutely adored him. I always love Jaimie’s men, but Noel might just be my new favourite!

Dear Hallmark, please get on making a movie of this wonderful book. It has all the ingredients of a holiday classic - strong main characters, hilarious and quirky side characters, a beautiful setting, a swoony romance, and even an adorable dog with lots of personality. I’d love to see these characters brought to life on the screen. Until then, they’ll live on in a special place in my heart, along with all the characters from Jaimie’s previous books.

Leah's impulsive (and drunk shopping) purchase of Peppermint Branches, a dilapidated Christmas tree farm in Scotland could have been a disaster but it turns out to be the best thing she's ever done. She has no idea, none whatsoever, how to deal with the trees but it turns out Noel, the pumpkin farmer who lives next door, does. One of the things I liked most about this delightful romance was learning about the trees- factual information that made me nod and appreciate Admans even more. This is hard work. It's also hard work for Leah in gaining the acceptance and trust of the village of Elffield- more power to her. You know, from the moment they meet, that Leah and Noel have a future together but it spools out very nicely. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. A happy, cheerful read.

I love nothing more than escaping into something soft, warm and full of good old fashioned romance.

Snowflakes at the Little Christms Tree Farm is one of those books. It’s filled with loveable characters, a gorgeous little dog named Gizmo, pumpkins, idilic settings, hot chocolate and, of course, Christmas Trees. There’s enough spice in the mix to warm you from head to toe as you sink into this novel and escape to cold, wintery scotland with Leah as she makes the ultimate change in lifestyle whilst trying to escape a rotten relationship.

Life has been pretty tough for her since her parents died two years earlier and the discovery that her boyfriend has been cheating just sends her over the edge. Before she knows it she’s consumed one too many glasses of Prosecco and bought herself a christmas tree farm in Scotland. Now, any normal person may panic that they have absolutely no idea how to run a christmas tree farm but Leah is determined to follow her heart and make a success of her new life. The only problem is that the farm isn’t anything like the pictures, at least not now, four years since it went on the market.

When Leah arrives in Scotland unsurprsingly she discovers a farm that needs a lot of work and her money dwindling fast. Has she got what it takes to turn things around and make her christmas farm dreams come true? And will her annoying, yet sexy new neighbour who runs the pumpkin farm next door help or hinder her progress along the way.

This was an absolute delight to read and left me feeling warm and fuzzy inside. Perfect for this time of year as we leave the warmth, sunny memories of summer behind and try to find the silver lining of the winter ahead of us. Snowflakes at the Little Christmas Tree Farm is the perfect pick me up for gloomy autumnal/winter days.

I love love love this book! It’s a totally believable story line and not far fetched at all. I wanted to be there and living there the characters were believable. Extremely well written

The morning after finding her boss/boyfriend in a compromising position with a colleague and then discovering he’s also been sleeping with half the office, Leah Griffiths wakes up with a banging headache after downing three bottles of Prosecco, she also realises that she has won a bid on something too on an auction site.

Not only did she bid and win an auction whilst drunk, but she has also paid for the item too. Expecting it to be another pair of shoes she is shocked when it turns out her purchase was not only for a Christmas Tree Farm in Scotland but that it has cost her £50,000, the money left after selling her parent’s home when they died.

Looking through the photographs of Peppermint Branches, the farm, Leah realises that perhaps it is for the best. She now has no job, just one friend in London, and her father wanted to move back to Scotland before his death. How hard could running a Christmas Tree Farm be?

Things don’t go according to plan when Leah arrives to find that the farm has been empty for four years and most of the trees are dead, there is also the grumpy neighbour Noel to put up with who thinks she will go running home back to the city when she realises how much work is involved and that the farmhouse has only half a roof and no windows. Leah has something to prove, not only to Noel but to herself too and she is going no-where – Maybe!

I absolutely adore Jaimie Admans’ books and if you enjoy Rom-Coms and haven’t read her work, I suggest you do. Snowflakes at the Little Christmas Tree Farm is a beautiful read, as beautiful as the front cover is. Leah is such a sweet character. She’s had a hard few years and when she realised that she had bought a Christmas Tree Farm in Scotland it felt like fate had intervened in her life as it made her feel closer to her deceased parents.

Noel is the usual grumpy, sexy, handsome, and lovable character that you find in many Rom-Coms. He has been a Pumpkin farmer for many years and lives on the farm with his mum. His land is adjacent to Leah’s and he is put out when he realises that she has bought it, believing that she won’t stay and eventually sell it on to developers. He also has a soft side to him and for once it was nice to find a man in a book that admits when he’s being an arse. Oh, he also has a gorgeous dog called Gizmo too.

The book was a quick read and I enjoyed it the whole way through. At times I did feel like some of the chapters dragged a little and were too long, but that is just my opinion as I’m really not a fan of long chapters. It is a wonderful festive novel and I couldn’t wait to see if Leah could get the farm working again.

Snowflakes at the Little Christmas Tree Farm is a cosy book that will have you rooting for Leah as well as giggling along with her. A perfect addition to your festive reads list.

Snowflakes At The Little Christmas Tree Farm by Jaimie Admans is the most delightful heart-warming contemporary novel. It will leave you smiling and feeling loved.
The novel is about community. A small Scottish village works together against not only larger corporations but also the elements. Success is not me-shaped but us-shaped. Together we can achieve more than I can alone.
Delicious descriptions enable the reader to have a complete assault on our senses. We can almost ‘smell’ the pine cones and hot chocolate, and ‘see’ the market, Christmas trees and snow.
There is the theme of restoration. Not only do a house and farm need brining back to life, but characters do too. Past hurts need to build trust and heal hearts. Lives need to be restored by love, care and belonging.
Grief hurts. It never goes away. It pains like a knife. The old life is gone but one clings to memories. A new life is waiting but we need courage to step into it.
A Christmas theme always speaks of romance and warmth. It is a magical time of year where childhood memories can be rekindled.
Jaimie Admans has created a magical novel with big hearted characters. I immersed myself in the action which is written in the first person. I placed myself in the novel, ‘living’ the events.
Jaimie Admans always writes such charming novels that I want to abandon real life and step into her books. Her books make the reader feel good and feel loved.
I received this book for free. A favourable review was not required and all views expressed are my own.

Jaimie has done it yet again with such a gorgeous book, filled with gorgeous characters.
Leah was an admirable character who, although knowing nothing about how to run a Christmas Tree farm, put all of her hard work and energy in to making her abandoned farm become a place where the locals can return and take in the magic it once held. With the help of the extremely handsome, Noel, the two were a great team, despite their first couple of encounters and it was a delight to see their chemistry blossom.

Jaimie is never a let down when it comes to giving you a few giggles throughout her stories and with the amount of Christmas Tree puns flowing through this one, I felt myself smile quite a lot. This is a great Christmas read and has gotten me seriously in to the Christmas spirit - I am adding 'visit a Christmas Tree farm' on my to-do list this December asap!

The absolute perfect, cosy read for all romance lovers, in which, with all of Jaimie's books - I highly recommend.

Anyone who loves a sweet Christmas story will find their time well-spent reading this book. After catching her boyfriend in a compromising situation with a co-worker, Leah quits her job and buys a Christmas tree farm—Peppermint Branches—in Scotland, sight unseen. Upon arrival, Leah finds the farm and house are in a state of neglect; she also finds her neighbor, a pumpkin farmer named Noel, to be devastatingly handsome and incredibly helpful. As Leah learns the ropes of farming Christmas trees, she also finds happiness, community, and contentment—neither of which she’s had since her parents died some years prior. The community of Elffield is full of charming characters who embrace Leah and her efforts to save Peppermint Branches. Though this novel is listed as a romance, it is just as much about Leah’s reinvention of her life as it is her relationship with Noel. The romance itself is lovely and sweet, and both must overcome obstacles from their past before finding their way to one another. In this novel, readers will find an absolutely perfect Christmas mix—true love, Christmas trees, community, hot chocolate, and an adorable dog.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

This was a cute clean book - no steaminess whatsoever. Leah was an admirable character, the way she took the bull by the horns trying to learn everything she could about farming and making a go of the farm the best she could.

If you’re looking for a heartwarming festive read, this one is for you.

Really wonderful christmas story. Full of charm, romance, great characters, and magic settings this book will get you in the mood to put your christmas tree up early, it did me anyway. Lovely story, i would really recommend it.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for letting me read this book.
This is the second book I've read by this author, and I'm impressed again by how much emotion is embedded in the story. The author has a sound knowledge of business and in this case, how to manage a Christmas Tree farm.
The male lead is a strong, sweet gentleman and a perfect match to complement the determined, fearless female lead. Surrounded by a supportive community, you can't help but hope that everything turns out for the best.
Wishing there was more; this book is a wonderful seasonal read.
4.5 stars
