Love the backdrop of a farm and all the hands pitching in. This book had a bit of an artsy bent, perfect at Christmastime, I think. Terrific love story, believable characters, and good food all contributed to an entertaining read.

Wow I loved this book so much it was amazing.  I just adored the storyline.  I even asked the author will she do a second book I loved this story i wanted to read more . I didn't want this book to end it was so good. I couldn't put this book down its definitely a real page turner. Its so beautiful, heartwarming and full to the brim with Christmas cheer. Just the perfect type of Christmas books that I love to read. I really enjoyed the great sense of community spirit that pour out of this book. There are so many ups and downs in this book you will be kept on the edge of your seat and didn't know whats was going to happen next. The characters you really connected with straight away and both loved them and hated some aswell. There was a great diversity of characters to enjoy each was brilliant in their own little way . I thought the author wrote so well creating a mesmerising sense of atmosphere that just wraps you up like a nice warm blanket you can snuggle up to. This is a perfect holiday read and was just what I needed to put me in the mood for Christmas.  I really enjoyed the fact it was so family oriented aswell. With plenty of family feuds.
I will definitely be looking out for more books by this author on netgalley. She is definitely one to watch out for.
So much praise goes out to the author and publishers for bringing this spectacular heartwarming, edge of your seat holiday romance to life.

What a cute and interesting little town! I could just picture what fox farm looks like. I hated Sebastian with a passion. The guy drove me insane. I'm glad he was finally put in his place.....not sure who thinks they are owed anything from family like this especially without helping or caring in the beginning.

Alex and Daisy were cute and work well together. They did drive me nuts at times. Like just use your words lol.

I'm glad in the end everything came together. I could see another book about this town and people or even a show! Super cute Christmas book

This is, in some ways a very traditional Christmas story. It has the elements of community spirit and unexpected romance. It will definitely warm your heart as you read. There an eclectic cast of characters who were mostly very likeable. I liked the fact that we heard from both Daisy and Alex as it created a good level of understanding of, and sympathy for their different but difficult situation. It became easy to picture the setting of Fox Farm. This was my first read by this author and it definitely developed into a festive feel good story full of heart and warmth.

Christmas at Fox Farm is a perfectly sweet holiday romance filled with heart, forgiveness and love. Fox Farm seems like the most idyllic setting, the perfect small village location with people working together to make things magical and happy for the community. The romance between Alex and Daisy was sweet and lovely, and the ending was happy and satisfying.

I love all of this author's books and this one is no exception. You are instantly drawn into the story and characters so you are really rooting for a happy ending and this makes a lovely Christmassy story leaving you with a nice warm feeling

Festive, heartwarming and sweet: an excellent Christmas rom-com that made me smile and wish I was at Fox Farm.
I rooted for the characters, enjoyed the plot and had a lot of fun.
Highly recommended.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for my copy of this book in return for an honest review!

Once I started, I really enjoyed this book and the cosy, wintery vibes it gave off. With a story built around family, learning to trust new relationships and the wonderful festive season it really is a lovely read for the Christmas period.

I have to say my favourite thing about this book was how well described all of the locations were - living in Yorkshire myself, I could really appreciate all of the beautiful scene-setting and the use of local accents by some of the characters was a lovely addition. Helen Pollard really excelled in painting a picture (no pun intended) of the farm and the studio, as well as all of the beautiful artwork that Daisy was creating.

For characters, I found myself really falling into their story and rooting for (or against!) them throughout. I absolutely adored our main characters, as well as seeing how their family dynamics changed and flourished throughout the story with very believable twists and turns.

My only low point was that the storyline progressed quite slowly and I found myself wanting something *more* to happen. However, I was encapsulated enough to keep reading and want to know how it ended!

A really lovely, picturesque book for this time of year.

⭐⭐

I am chalking this rating up as a "me" issue and not that this book wasn't great. I've been off the romance genre for a while now, but I thought maybe a holiday themed one would hit the mark. Alas, it didn't. I struggled to get into this one. I found it dull and the characters flat. I seem to be in the minority in my feelings, so again...chalk it up to mood!

Daisy has made a home at Fox farm in an artist studio that owner Jean rents to artists for a year at a time. When Jean suddenly takes ill, Daisy is compelled to help run the farm shop and cafe during Christmas. However unbeknownst to Daisy, and Jean’s nephew Alex the farm and shop is not doing as well as Jean has let on. This Christmas are they able to save Fox Farm and find love?

This was a feelgood Christmas treat.

I really loved Christmas at Fox Farm by Helen Pollard and I was soon lost in the festive cheer. A lovely romantic read that’s also about family and friends pulling together that will make you smile, feel all Christmassy and you will struggle to put it down. Read in one sitting I loved it.

What’s not to like about a Christmas book? Add this one to your list, a fabulous feel good story!
I didn’t want to stop reading, loved the characters, the setting and would recommend you settle down to escape into the pages of this book.
I will definitely be reading more Helen Pollard!

Thanks to NetGalley for this eARC in return of my honest review.

I love reading Christmas books and it's a first book by this author and it won't be the last.

I loved the setting of the book; but then I enjoy the Yorkshire Dale's too. It was the perfect setting for this story.

Characters were all relatable... I took an instant dislike to Sebastian.

Great read. Puts you in the Christmas mood.

What a heart-warming holiday read! I loved it! The pacing kept me turning the pages, and I bonded with the main characters.  It was nice to see so many chapters from the male lead's perspective too.

I would definitely recommend this book to those looking for a light-hearted and realistic holiday romance that isn't over the top.

Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley and the author for an advanced copy of this book.
