This was a fun different Christmas novel, much of it takes place on a cruise down the Amazon so it lacks a truly festive feel but its nonetheless an enjoyable and funny romcom.

A lovely book to cosy up in front of the fire with a cup of coffee on a cold winters day. Not christmasy enough for the title, but an enjoyable read.

Is there anything better than a Christmas Debbie Macomber book to cheer you up, if there is I haven’t found it yet. Full of Debbie’s usual charm and warmth, her wonderful writing and a cast full of gorgeous characters this book is exactly what you need this Christmas to escape and feel happy and warm inside and out. Welcome some love and cheer into your life and pick this book up, you won’t regret it.


Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

A warm and lovely book. I fell in love with Daisy & Asher. Can’t wait to read more from Debbie Macomber.

A short enjoyable feel good read. This is not really a Christmas story but it is still lovely to read.

Thank you to NetGalley for my copy.

I absolutely adore Debbie Macomber books. They have such lovely stories, with wonderful characters and settings.
After a particularly stressful time at work, Everly's business partner insists she takes a month off in December. His niece has been working as her assistant and has caused several issues. He gets the vindictive girl to book a cruise.
She decides that it is about time he realises how much she does to keep their business running. Will she be able to step away?
She's expecting a lovely relaxing break onboard heading to the Carribbean and ends up on a research 'activity' trip to the Amazon.
I loved every page and couldn't wait to read more.

With thanks to Netgalley and Little brown

Jingle all the way is a short but sweet Christmas story that should get readers into the Christmas mood. Not one of Debbie's best books but still a good read.

The writing - ⭐
The story - ⭐⭐
Overall - ⭐⭐

If you're looking for a quick and easy filler read this is perfect, I reckon it'll be good as a 'palate cleanser' book but other than that I wouldn't recommend the writing isn't great and the characters didn't feel like they had enough depth.

Jingle All the Way is not Debbie Macomber's best book by any stretch of the imagination. I like her books generally and I've read enough of her Christmas output to know that they are a bit schmaltzy. And they're none the worse for that. But this one stretched my disbelief way beyond breaking point. I just couldn't believe in any of the characters or the positions in which they found themselves. Disappointing.

How much did I love this book.

I was given a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review and two days later here I am giving this wonderful book a review.

Everly is a workaholic, in partnership with her friend Jack they are taking the property business by storm but to what cost. Everly is struggling to work with Jacks niece as her assistant and after one mistake too many she tells Jack she cannot work with her anymore, rather than taking her side Jack insists Everly needs a holiday and suggests she goes on a cruise to unwind. Unfortunately the assistant is given the job to arrange the trip and seeing her chance for revenge books Everly on a trip to the Amazon rather than the Caribbean.

When Everly arrived in Brazil and the extent of the mistake is revealed she tries her best to get off the boat.

Asher is the Ecology Specialist on the boat and is rather entertained by the woman on the boat who is so not happy to be there.

The story is full of Debbie MacCombers usual comedy and also has a lesson behind it for everyone to learn, okay obviously you know how the story is going to end but the journey to get there was so entertaining, I wish I could go back and experience it all again like the first time.

Another fabulous Christmas story from Ms MacComber.

This Christmas story will certainly bring a sparkle when you read it! It’s about a sudden trip to South America and this makes the main character do things she wouldn’t normally. A good read

This was a quick and sweet . Cosy little read. This wasn't wow read for me. Just okey. Not overly Christmasy.
Just 3 stars

I loved this book. Everly is a stressed out exec who runs her own business. She is persuaded to take a month off work by her business partner and goes on an unexpected trip of a lifetime.

She has a trip booked for her by her assistant which leads to an adventure in the Amazon which is way beyond what she expected (or asked for!). The way that she discovers who she is (Daisy) and what she wants is magical. When the trip finishes, it seems like the adventure is over, but who knew that it could get better and more beautiful.

So grateful for this ARC which made me think. Your life is not all about stress and putting your head down, but also holding it high and looking around you, despite the klutzy moments like Daisy has.... you never know where it will take you.

Solid stuff. To my mind a little bit rushed, particularly the ending which seemed forced to make this a Christmas Story. The relationship development seemed to rely on muscle memory from the loyal readership (of which there are legion I know ) to fill in the gaps attraction was instant and reciprocated too fast for even this enthusiastic reader. With such a lush setting we are left wanting more Amazon and less Stateroom! Research seemed rudimentary and bar two set pieces could have been set on any boat in any season. A missed opportunity to get out of the “friendly Town” Christmas fare we are used to.

The Christmas portion appeared shoe horned in. It was a fun sip of Romance but not quite as rich and charming as other books by the same author.

A lovely cosy read by Debbie. Although set around Christmas time it wasn’t over the top on Christmas so a great read for those who don’t like to start Christmas books too early.

Jingle All the Way is a quick, fun read. The story is set on an adventure ship exploring the Amazonian Rainforests which as a backdrop is totally unique and refreshing. I loved reading how these quirky characters fall in love.

Just a lovely story I get each Christmas Debbie books I love them he writting style just pulls you into the plot wonderful warm characters great plot I loved it all

Everly is a workaholic, and is struggling with the help of a useless assistant who she tries to fire. Her assistant books her a cruise at the behest of her business partner. Instead of the dreamy, relaxing, luxury cruise she expected, it seems the useless assistant has booked her into an amazon cruise - on purpose?!

The story follows her as she embarks on the journey, makes friends and deals with this unexpected situation.

Charming read, and another great Christmas romance from Debbie Macomber.

Whenever I read a Debbie Macomber book it feels like coming home to a big hug in a book, and this was no exception. The story was under my skin within a chapter or two and I knew I would be ignoring the calls of real life to read it in as few sittings as possible.

And given I started it around 6pm, and am writing this review just before 3am - and I did do some work in between, I think suffice to say this was a quick and absorbing read, that hit all the right spots for me.

I don't think I'd particularly looked at the blurb before opting to read this book, drawn in by the Christmas title and the knowledge that I've never read a bad book from this author, thus I was delighted to learn that there was a cruise involved.

I love cruising, but like Everly, I had visions of luxurious cruise ships and ultimate in fabulousness of holiday, but her assistant had other ideas, so the reality is a fortnight on an explorer cruise taking in the Amazon rainforest.

Not exactly what Everly had in mind, but at the same time an eye-opening vacation, full of mishap, adventure, exotic scenery and Asher!

I was hooked on everything to do with the cruise, especially as we are unable to travel in real life at the moment, I'll take any opportunity for some armchair travel, and I've never read a book featuring an Amazon cruise before which makes this rather unique in my eyes.

It has all of Debbie Macomber's normal flair and storytelling ability, fabulous writing and realistic characters, but for the most part with a far more exciting backdrop!

I love, Love, LOVED this book and really am puzzled as to why I have left it so long since my last Debbie Macomber book, given how much I adore the author! I definitely need to read her more regularly, as this is utter comfort reading!

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

Being English - Debbie mcombers books always make me want to up sticks and
move to America to either open a B&B or find a ranch.
Jingle all the way is no exception. I haven’t read any of her books for a while but what a truly lovely Christmassy book this is.
Everly (Daisy) Lancaster has spent the past few years building up her company Easy home into the thriving business it is today but at what cost to herself ?
Her business partner Jack has been happy to let Everly do all the work herself and it’s turned her into a workaholic that does too many hours and hasn’t had any time off in years. She even worked through the last Christmas and missed her family homecoming with sisters Rose and Lilly. When Jack insists that Everly hires his inept niece as her PA, disaster soon strikes when she forgets Everlys speech at an important conference.
Everly insists she’s fired but jack, keen to keep the peace with his sister and niece insists Everly takes the whole of December off and recharge her batteries on a luxury cruise.
Getting his niece to arrange everything she gets her revenge by booking Everly on a boat trip up the Amazon visiting the rainforests and piranha. Something Everlys not aware of until she arrives totally unprepared.
But maybe this trip is just what Everly needs to help her reconnect with herself, to find out what trully matters and maybe on board amazon guide Asher Adams is just the man to help her.
This book is funny, charming, romantic, family orientated, Christmassy and all you could want from one of Debbies books.
I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish and would highly recommend.
