I much preferred the second half of this book to the first and this initially to be a bit slow going. That being said once the double booked party was in full swing, I enjoyed immensely watching the drama unfold between Lauren and Kian.

Lots of fun and laughter in this book and an easy Christmas feel for sure.

Nice wholesome Christmas spirit and community feel.

A real page turner. I found the characters lovely and was fascinated by their lives and the way they all helped each other. Lauren was a great character and so very busy trying to manage the organisation of the annual Christmas party. It was such a heartwarming idea to have a party for the older and lonely residents of the village. Full of twists and turners with a touch of romance and the interaction with the older residents and the kids was really funny at times. A great story which warms your heart.

I enjoyed this one for the most part. The story of a woman who is in charge of putting together an annual Christmas Eve party for the local seniors. After breaking up with her fiance the previous year, she finds herself running into a new guy several times and then finds out the day before that her party venue was double booked, throwing them together. A few parts irked me with being overly focused on and then sped through. But overall a nice story.

The Village Christmas Party is everything I hoped it would be and more. I adore Sue Robert’s and her books to begin with so I knew I was in for a real treat! I could relate to main character Lauren and her lists for everything! I’m guilty I admit. I love how she dedicates helping the older community by making sure they have somewhere to go for the holidays.


smell of mulled wine fills the air as the villagers listen to carollers singing. Everyone in town is ready for the big day. But Lauren only has hours to get the community Christmas party back on track…

Thirty-four-year-old Lauren has a list for everything, especially Christmas. With her presents bought months in advance, the last thing on her checklist is the charity party she runs every year. It has to be perfect – she has seen how much the event means to the older villagers who would be alone for the holidays otherwise.
Of course not holiday story is without a handsome love interest. In this book we meet Kian who accidentally has the venue booked for his own daughters party…yikes!!!
I love how the work together although not without a little clashing to make this work out for everyone! I loved there chemistry. I thought Kian has such an ease to him that really made the book stand out for me. I was laughing, crying, and swooning the whole time and I know potential readers will be as well! The perfect book to cozy up with by the fire and get ready for the holiday season with! Please check out this title if you have the opportunity! You most certainly won’t be disappointed. Thank you Bookouture for the honor. Keep up the beautiful work of bringing great titles to us!
