'Oh, holy five star, I LOVED THIS BOOK... Laugh out loud funny, incredibly charming and full to the brim with Christmas magic.' NetGalley Reviewer, Sasha Hansley hates Christmas. As a child, it was her favourite time of year, but ever since the tragic death of her mother, it has completely lost its magic. But when she gets an unexpected phone call from her estranged father, she's forced to dust off her snow boots. He's been running a Lapland style Christmas village in Norway and after suffering a heart attack, he is on strict doctor's orders to slow down. Eager to reconnect with her dad, Sasha books the next flight out there. Only she's never actually been on a plane before, let alone to the Arctic Circle. Met at the runway by drop-dead-gorgeous Taavi Salvesen, they sleigh ride through the snow with the Northern Lights guiding their way. When Sasha uncovers sacks of unopened Santa mail - letters that children and adults from all over the world write to Santa every year - she realises that she can send a little bit of magic out into the world by replying to some of them. With Taavi on hand to help, will Sasha rediscover her own excitement for Christmas and find love among the letters? The Post Box at the North Pole is like one big romantic mug of hot chocolate with extra whipped cream and a splash of Christmas magic! Fans of Holly Martin, Sarah Morgan and Heidi Swain will love this novel! Readers LOVE The Post Box at the North Pole! 'The perfect festive read, one to snuggle up with by a fire, with a mug of hot chocolate and a blanket, and sink into.' NetGalley Reviewer, 'Full of magical, happy moments, and while reading it, I felt like I was there gazing at the Northern Lights.' NetGalley Reviewer, 'I highly recommend reading this book, just switch off from everyday stresses and get lost in the snow and the magic of Christmas, you won't regret it!!'

This book was utterly delightful. I stayed up to finish it. It has a hint of mystery but at its core it's about recovering from trauma by looking for the goodness in the world. Tav is a wonderful, complex character and since it's told in Sasha's voice, we get a good sense of her challenges, especially around her father. Watching the two of them get past their fears to fall in love, reviving the world around them in the process, was very satisfying and a great message for me right now. ( )

What a perfect novel to begin reading on Christmas Eve! Description advertised an uplifting Christmas romance but it's so much more than a contemporary romance. If you believe in magic and specifically the most magical time of year this is the most endearing and heartwarming Christmas story to read. If you feel like you've lost your Christmas spirit, Jaimie Admans will refresh your thoughts with her enchanting creation that takes place in the North Pole Forest at the northernmost part of Norway or otherwise described as 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle. The dedication says it best, "For everyone who still looks to the skies on Christmas Eve and hopes to see something magical."

Although Sasha Hansley loved Christmas as a child as an adult it became only a reminder of a lost Christmas wish and a broken promise by her father. But suddenly he's calling for her help with a reindeer sanctuary as he's had a heart attack and finally he wants to spend Christmas together if she comes to him. Sasha loves animals and deep down she loves her father. Her Dad is the global traveler. Sasha's never left the U.K. and now she's to travel above the Arctic Circle where temperatures are below freezing. What's a daughter to do?

It is rare for me to even consider reading a book again as there are only so many novels I'll be able to read in my lifetime and I want to read as many as possible. With hot cocoa of my own in hand, I wouldn't hesitate to read this holiday story on Christmas Eve again and again. It's simply magical! I can imagine traveling to the North Pole Forest to meet Santa and touring his home and seeing the reindeer. The only question is will I dream of staying in one of the cozy Christmas-themed cottages or in one of the Northern Lights glass igloos? ( )

Sasha Hansley hates Christmas, and has ever since her mother was killed in a car crash, and her father, Percy, after recovering from his injuries in the crash, left England. He calls, but he doesn't come home, not even for Christmas, not even when he has promised to do so. Instead, he asks her to join him on one travel adventure after another, and she refuses, having no desire to travel. Sasha occupies her time with one dead-end job after another, feeling unimportant and unvalued. Her father, though, thinks she's now the manager of a major hotel, and turned its fortunes around. She didn't tell him that; it was a misunderstanding when she applied for the job, told him, and he decided that she obviously got it. Now, she feels he's finally proud of her, and can't bear to tell him it's not true.

Right now, she's just lost her latest job, with a dog-walking business, because the owner's sister needed the job.

And her father calls from Norway, sounding old and frail, and telling her that he's had a heart attack. He wants her to come to the Christmas village where he's living and working. He's insistent. He's already paid for her tickets. And he needs her.

The woman who hates Christmas finds herself at the North Pole Forest. It's failing business that her father wants to save--wants her to save, his daughter who turned a major hotel around.

Her father owns it. He bought it from the former owner. His only staff now is Tav, a tall, handsome, powerful, very closed-off man. Not silent; he's full of stories about elves and knowledge about reindeer, and he runs a reindeer sanctuary. He talks about the magic of Christmas and the value of the North Pole Forest for children. What Tav doesn't talk about is himself.

There is something especially charming about the place, even for someone who hates Christmas, but all its income-earning parts except Santa's Grotto are in poor repair, and Tav is trying to do all the repair work himself. Despite her determination to persuade her father to be sensible and sell the property, Sasha finds herself being drawn in to the necessary work, including reading the letters to Santa that still arrive in quantity, and answer the ones where it seems appropriate.

Sasha is also getting drawn in by Tav's reindeer, and by Tav.

But all three of them, Percy, Sasha, and Tav, have secrets, and those secrets are going to collide in an emotional blow-up.

I really enjoyed the story, and the characters. Sasha's feelings of not being important to her surviving parent, and therefore not important to anyone, were all too familiar to me.

Recommended if you enjoy a satisfying, magical, Christmas romance.

I received a free electronic galley of this book from the publisher via NetGalley and Rachel's Random Resources. ( )
