One woman, two Nicks, and a Christmas season that’s about to get very complicated.
When librarian Kay bumps into her ex-boyfriend Nick at a Christmas market, she thinks fate is finally giving her a second chance with her first big love. But then she gets spectacularly tangled in a Christmas tree-netting machine and meets another Nick entirely. One who cuts her free, dresses her wounds, and makes her pulse race in ways that thoroughly confuse her.
Finance Nick is successful, settled, and ready to talk five-year plans. Farmer Nick makes handcrafted furniture, supports local charities, and sees the creative spirit Kay has kept hidden behind her library desk. But how is a girl to choose?
Soon she’s spending her days delivering books to children’s hospitals and care homes with farmer Nick, before dashing home to whip off her reindeer onesie and glam up for romantic dates at the ballet with finance Nick.
But the countdown to Christmas is on, and Kay can’t keep this up forever. Somehow she must navigate London’s most complicated love triangle, avoid getting any more pine needles stuck in her hair – and work out once and for all which Nick has her heart.
About The Author
My Review
This is a delightful, feel-good Christmas romance filled with warmth, humor, and festive charm. The story follows Kay, who’s been carrying the sting of being dumped by her boyfriend, Nick, in the middle of pub trivia night eight years ago. When fate brings them back together during the holidays, old sparks fly—but complicating matters is “New Nick,” a kind and thoughtful man she meets at a Christmas tree farm who helps her organize a local book drive.
Bailey balances the nostalgia of second chances with the excitement of new beginnings, creating a charming love triangle that feels real rather than contrived. While the plot is somewhat predictable, the cozy atmosphere, witty dialogue, and believable emotional beats make it a pleasure to read. There’s no explicit content, making it perfect for fans of clean romances with plenty of heart.
With its festive setting and relatable characters, this is a comforting holiday read that reminds readers love can surprise you twice—once from the past, and once from the unexpected present.
