What a nice and funny story!

Synopsis

Cam’s career and romantic prospects take a nose dive once she becomes guardian to her young nephew. She leaves a bustling Dutch city to move to a small, dull country town in England, and where once she restored magnificent old paintings to their former glory, now she operates the paint-mixing machine at a soulless hardware store. As much as she adores little Rowan, life has lost some of its sparkle. 

However, a handsome and charming customer causes her heart to flutter once more. Fate, alas, seems determined to hamper any possibility of them getting together. So what chance does a tiny, naughty hamster have of bringing happiness this Christmas?

This is a festive, light-hearted and uplifting romcom novella.

My review

Cam is guardian of Rowan after her sister had a terrible accident. This meant she had to leave her job and life in the Netherlands to move back to a country town in England.
Instead of her dream job, she now works in a hardware store.
As she truly cares about her friends and animals, she agrees to look after a hamster of her friends. Little does she know the hamster is a master in escaping!

I had so much fun reading this story! Yes, the beginning is a bit sad, as we get to learn the background.
Cam is also a little bit struggling, as she not really doing a job she likes. A ray of light is when she meets a handsome stranger in the store.

Cam is very recognizable… she’s a young woman finding herself taking care of a little boy, which is very very admirable. But her kind heart is also reason of a not satisfying job.

And when the hamster comes into the story, I found myself laughing at what mischiefs he was capable of!
He is responsible for a lot of things Cam is finding herself into.
Animals are an important addition in this book, as we get to learn the thoughts of a cat and how she feels about her mysterious owner!

I truly enjoyed reading this story, having everything I love! A little bit of romance, drama, kind persons in general, and lots of animals adding a lot of extra charm in an amazing book!
