Once Upon a Charming Bookshop by Heatherly Bell

4.0

This book had me at bookshop, Christmas, and a cat. How could I not want to read a book with a book nerd heroine! Plus one of my favorite tropes friends to lovers well in this case best friends to lovers. Another draw to this book is my grandma was a huge fan of the Harlequin Special Edition line especially at holiday time. She couldn't wait for the Christmas books to come out so I thought of her while reading. Noah is back to their small town to stay, but his new career path has some concerned. Both Noah and Twyla want to move on from the shadow of the tragedy with Will. Well Noah's new career path which has always been his dream may make that just a bit harder. I loved the small town vibe and all the Christmas activities that go on. It makes me wish I could visit during the holidays especially the book shop! A delightful read with plenty of heart and connection between the characters. Loved the kitty though he sure is a grump.
