Description

What if a last wish could mean a new love?

When Olivia’s beloved Aunt Grace passes, she leaves everything to her niece, with one condition: Travel to Prague and deliver a message to Grace’s long-lost true love, Marek.

The trouble is, Olivia’s world is getting smaller. Since her husband left her one heartbreaking Christmas Eve, she has found even getting into town a challenge, let alone travelling by herself to a different country.

But this is one adventure she has to take, if she is to honour Grace.

The snowy, magical city of Prague slowly starts to awaken her festive spirit, and as Marek’s nephew, Tomas, shows her around the gorgeous Christmas markets, Olivia begins to feel she can truly live again.

Grace never had her chance at love, but might Olivia’s secret Christmas wish come true and grant her a second chance at romance?

A heartwarming, uplifting second-chance romance perfect for fans of Milly Johnson and Julie Caplin.

I’ve just finished A Christmas in Prague! Omg I loved it! The beginning of it was exactly how I felt after shielding for 2 years after covid. I had no Confidence, was terrified of my shadow, was ignoring bills, friends so I could find myself with Olivia. Albeit a diff situation. I was willing her on to go for it and omg she did! I now want to go to Prague, to see the nutcracker, the markets and the castle, you made it all come alive. I couldn’t put this book down! Started it this morning and finished it in tears! Thank you for giving me a lovely afternoon! Fell in love with all the characters and can’t wait to read the next one! Thank you x

Oh this story was just the most darling Christmastime story. I just so resignated with the main character and her sweet story. The setting was beautiful and I felt like I was taken to another place. Well done!

When you read a book by a new to you author and you're just blown away. Now I realize I have a lot of catching up to do.
This book may have made me wipe a few tears away and more than ever I realize not to let a once in a lifetime opportunity slip away. Oh, my heart! The perfect book with all the feels, such a charming and delightful book that had me smiling the whole while I read it.
I've never read a book taking place in Prague and my journey was full of delightful scenery, fun customs, delicious foods and enchanting dialogue.
Olivia is devested when her Aunt Grace passes. She was like a grandmother to her, and they were very close. She is set to inherit everything her aunt owns but must first pass on a message to her aunt's lost true-love, Marek.
Having never been to Prague she really doesn't want to go but her aunt's solicitor talks her into it. Jumping on a plane to Prague at Christmas time is not idea with the business but is preferable to sitting around thinking about her divorce she has recently gone through.
Finding Mareck is not easy but does happen, well his family anyways as they say he has passed years ago. Mareck was her Aunt Grace's lost love but circumstances beyond their control kept them apart and Olivia was to give him a last message from her aunt.
As she meets Marek’s nephew, Tomas she starts to once again come alive after being belittled and made to feel inadequate in her marriage. Oh, I loved the Christmassy descriptions of Prague. It was so refreshing to see Olivia regain her self-confidence with Mareck's family as they go through letters sent by her aunt so long ago. Will Tomas and Olivia let their special chance at love slip away when she has to return home just like her aunt has or will this fairytale romance continue to shine bright for all time?
Pure delight can't wait to look up more by the author and get reading.

I was given a complimentary copy of this book.

I only discovered this author recently and am loving their books and how they write about real people and relatable situations and also about characters that are in their 40s and 50s and what situations and decisions they might find themselves having to deal with.

A Christmas in Prague takes the reader on a journey of self discovery and second chances and how the events of the past can have a bearing on the future in this beautiful tale of Olivia travelling to Prague to carry out her late aunts wishing and what she discovers about herself
And her aunts past along the way.

Loved the characters and the setting and Prague is now on my wish list of want to visit places.

This was an uplifting yet heartbreaking read with sone laugh out loud moments and also some tearful ones.

Look forward to seeing what this author writes next.
