Today I’m over the moon to be bringing you my review for Clara’s Christmas Magic by Rosie Green. Thank you to Rachel’s Random Resources and Rosie Green for the copy of the ARC to bring my honest thoughts today.
The festive season is fast approaching but with the challenges facing Clara, it looks like being anything but the most wonderful time of the year. Can she somehow find the strength to meet those challenges head-on and find her way to the perfect, happy-ever-after Christmas?
Another Little Duck Pond Café book. The 25th in the series, and the final novella in the Clara Trilogy. This is a series I do so love returning to, time and time again. It never fails to draw me in and make me fall in love with the community of Sunnybrook all over again.
Clara is a wonderful character and one whose adventures I have followed from her first instalment. It’s been just delightful to get to know her and everyone around her. The promise of a Clara and Rory romance that I was left with after the second book ended is, in this book crushed. Clara realises it would never work after he has been involved with her step-sister, Lois.
Set partly in New York as Clara and Rory travel there to find someone. This is a mission that introduces new characters to the series and I’m looking forward to learning more about them too. Rosie Green’s descriptions of the city had me feeling I could have been by Ckara and Rory’s side and seeing it with them. This is a skill that Rosie Green has perfected. Every single book I have read in this series transports me to wherever Rosie Green writes about.
I so enjoyed seeing how Clara’s family developed and changed over the trilogy. I have to say this is an emotional read. I found myself with a little something in my more times than I care to admit. Clara is a character that I am very attached too. A regular girl next door who I rooted for at every turn. I was so happy to see how her family changed. My heart was bursting with love for everyone.
Rosie Green has again, written a story that has plenty going on, both in New York with Clara and Rory, and in the UK too. I was gutted when I finished the book. It felt like I had been reading about half an hour, until I checked the time and discovered I had been reading all night!
Another story I almost inhaled, it was so good! Emotional, immersive and so entertaining again. I can’t wait to return to The Litle Duck Pond Café series.
