The queen of feel-good Christmas fiction returns with a snowy adventure to Canada!
‘If you love a rugged hero, a heroine you can relate to, a warm romantic story and a bit of armchair travel, Countdown to Christmas is for you!’ Katie Fforde
‘It just wouldn’t be Christmas without Jo’s book in your stocking!’ Jill Mansell
———————————–
Chloe can’t wait for Christmas . . . to be over! Her son Ruben is staying with his dad and Chloe is planning to ignore the holidays altogether. Her only festive touch is her son’s advent calendar, to help count down the days till he’s home again.
But a surprise call changes everything. Chloe might be the unexpected owner of some land in Canada! Surely, it’s a scam. Or could it be just the escape she needs right now? Ruben’s latest note in the advent calendar tells her to ‘say yes!’
In a flash, Chloe’s new countdown to Christmas involves a log cabin in the middle of a snowy forest, a community that’s worried for its future, a gruff lumberjack who gives her butterflies and a lot of pancakes with maple syrup . . .
For a happy Christmas read full of romance and festive surprises, choose Jo Thomas.

Gorgeous Christmas Read
4.5*Chloe isn’t in the mood for Christmas, her son, housemate and world Ruben is heading to the Big Apple to spend December (yes a whole month, not just the festive period) with his dad.I didn’t envy Chloe and her trip to what seems the coldest place in Canada! But the idea of some distant relative leaving me some land with the opportunity to go somewhere new and different to find out more does appeal. What Chloe found in Forêt des Esprits is a community built around golden nectar, a community that looks after its own, a community that might disappear.My trip to Forêt des Esprits was delightful. As Chloe came to terms with being Ruben-less for December and then being transported to the darkest depths of Canada, with limited external contact and the coldest winter I can think of, I felt welcomed into a small loving community. Wary of newcomers to the small town, they gradually warmed to Chloe and her British ways and I loved how she found her place in their ranks (so to speak).I’ve got to say I loved Ruben’s adventure calendar for his mum. With each day, his thoughtful challenges gave Chloe a little purpose as she adjusts to her short term separation from her son. It’s a genius idea!I adored Countdowm To Christmas – it’s a perfectly festive read. Despite the rather distressing start for a month to contend with, my journey with Chloe was heartwarming amid the chilly surroundings. I’m looking forward to heading to Provence next year with Thomas’ next book!

Disappointing read
This is the first book I have read by this author and wanting something to read over the festive season, decided to buy it. Whilst it is an easy read, like the constant references to Maple Syrup throughout the book, the story was far too sickly for me and very predictable as you knew from the moment the main character first landed in Canada at the beginning of the book and met the Canadian storekeeper how it was all going to end. I did finish the book but could easily have given up half way through as there was nothing at all gripping to want to keep going back to it. Sadly a very disappointing first experience of this author.

This is a lovely Christmas novel for anyone who does not have a big or a lot of family around Christmas to show that Christmas does not have to be what a lot of people have expectations about. It is a story to touch your human heart even though there is much more involved in moving to a different country. The characters stand out in the story and it not your basic Christmas novel. The scenery described is beautiful and just right for a December feel !
