About the Book
It’s the most magical time of the year, and for travel agent Sarah it’s also the busiest! But this year one man threatens to ruin Christmas for Sarah’s customers – Mr Grinch, Will Armstrong.
The Shooting Star Mountain resort is a magical place, and Sarah has fond memories of Christmas here as a little girl. But as the resorts new owner, Will refuses to play snowball or to deck the halls with anything remotely resembling holly!
With customers complaining their Christmas is ruined, Sarah decides it’s up to her to convince gorgeous but Scroogey Will just how magical Christmas can be…
My Thoughts
No One Cancels Christmas is about travel agent Sarah who is sad to see complaints about her favourite Christmas holiday resort – The Shooting Star Mountain Resort and resolves to do something about it. The new owner, Will, seems to be be unwilling to listen to Sarah so she decides she has to do something herself to turn it around.
This book opens with Sarah sending a series of stroppy emails to Will, one by accident, and this was very amusing. I was keen to see what would happen when Sarah decides to go to the resort to confront Will in person.
This novel wasn’t as full-on festive as I was hoping it would be but there are Christmas things sprinkled throughout. Initially the resort is really sad and tired, there is no sign of Christmas being near but Sarah throws herself into bringing the holiday season to Shooting Star and as she begins to work her magic the Christmas spirit begins to shine through the pages.
I liked that there was more depth to this novel than it just being a Christmas romance. Sarah was abandoned by her parents at Shooting Star resort as a young child and ended up living with her aunt so she has unresolved pain to work through. Will has his demons too and gradually we find out exactly what happened to each of them.
All in all this was a lovely novel to read near Christmas and I would recommend it. It’s definitely fun and romantic, and there’s lots of snow!
I received a copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. All thoughts are my own.
No One Cancels Christmas is out now and available here.

I like the sound of the setting for this one, Hayley. And I agree with you that stories are best when the characters have some background and depth, so that the story is more than just a light romance. Glad you enjoyed this.
Your review makes this sound like a wonderful holiday read. Thanks for sharing!
Such a lovely cover and it sounds like the story had plenty of depth! Wonderful review, Hayley. You have done the best with your festive reads this year!
A shame it wasn’t full on festive, but I’m glad that you enjoyed it!
It’s has a lovely cover, but a Christmas themed book should definitely have more festive things inside – although it would probably make a sweet Hallmark film! Great review!
