Once Upon a December is best enjoyed on a dark and dreary winter weekend with a Danish pastry and a steaming cup of hot chocolate.

My Summary:
Astra Noel Snow and her friends enjoy a traditional visit each December to the Milwaukee Christmas Market. This year she is recently divorced and is looking for some extra fun. Jack Clausen, a handsome man who works at his family’s bakery, saves her the best kringle. Their meeting is magical (no spoilers) and after a few dates, some Yuletide magic, and unbelievable complications, Astra and Jack must decide if their relationship can work. I hesitate to say more about the plot and circumstances because I think this one is best discovered for yourself.
Second chances, romance, taking risks, friendship, and family.

QOTD:
Do you love magical realism?
I read this one after reading your review back when it came out. I loved it. Great choice for a throwback, Carol.
Did you read his second, Violin Conspiracy? He has a third coming out in March. Hoping for an arc. 🤞
I just received the arc for Dark Maestro! Request it!
