Cosy up with a mug of hot chocolate for some festive sparkle from best seller Jessica Redland.

Everyone is getting into the festive spirit on Castle Street - snow is falling, fairy lights are glistening and Christmas shopping is underway.

But for Tara Porter, owner of thriving cafe The Chocolate Pot, this is the most difficult time of the year. From the outside, Tara is a successful businesswoman and pillar of the community. Behind closed doors, she is lonely.

With a lifetime of secrets weighing on her shoulders, she has retreated from all friends, family and romance, and shut her real self away from the world. After all, if you don't let them in, they can't hurt you. She's learnt that the hard way.

But as the weight of her past becomes heavier and an unexpected new neighbour moves onto the street - threatening the future of her cafe - Tara begins to realise that maybe it's time to finally let people back in and confront her history. It could just change her life forever.

Starry Skies Over the Chocolate Pot Café was originally released as Christmas at the Chocolate Pot Café. Now re-released with a new title and new cover, this version has been freshly edited and features several new chapters.

I enjoyed this book very much. The only thing wrong was that it ended too soon. I wanted to know what happened to the boy and his relation with Jed.

Jessica Redlands writes a beautiful story that will bring laughter, tears, and a little bit of anger for the life her characters endured within her romance. I enjoyed reading about where her inspiration for the characters came from as well. Lovely!

I so wish I could visit Castle Street in real life! I read the two books that Jessica Redland set there last Christmas, and really enjoyed them both, but Christmas at the Chocolate Pot Café takes things to a whole new level. Although it’s set at Christmas, I didn’t get a chance to read it until January and so I can confirm it is equally enjoyable at any time of year.

Tara appeared as an ‘extra’ in some of the earlier Castle Street books, as she runs the Chocolate Pot Café that is a hub of the Castle Street community. However, Tara doesn’t put herself at the centre of that hub. Whilst she is friendly towards everyone, she doesn’t let anyone into her heart or her home, except her giant house rabbit, Hercules. Tara has suffered more loss in her life than most people would experience in several lifetimes. She’s been let down by the people she should have been able to trust above all others, too, so why should she let her guard down for anyone?

Carly is another of the shop owners from Castle Street and she runs a cupcake business which is featured in one of Jessica Redland’s previous Christmas novels. Slowly Tara begins to get closer to Carly and, bit-by-bit, she finds herself finally telling someone about the things she has been through and why she is so determined to keep up the metaphorical walls that stop her getting hurt again. Whilst Christmas at the Chocolate Pot Café deals with some heart-wrenching issues, it is typically full of the warmth and humour that makes Jessica Redland’s writing so distinctive.

There are two key people from Tara’s past that arrive back in her life during the course of the story and I don’t want to say too much about either of them in case I give away the plot. One of them she is less than pleased to see, to say the least, and the other she is terrified of letting back into her life, even though she desperately wants to. There were parts of the story that brought tears to my eyes and other bits, including the wonderful feel-good ending, that left me with a big smile on my face. I hope there will be more of Tara’s story to come, and more from Castle Street in general. This is my stand out favourite of all Jessica Redland’s Christmas books. And given that they are all so highly rated, that says a lot. Don’t wait until next Christmas to download this book, though, read it now. You’ll love it!

Heartwarming story about a young girl who is brought up by foster parents after losing her mum to suicide and her dad to a car accident. She thinks her step sister is looking out for her but how wrong could she be! She ends up leaving home without saying goodbye to her foster parents and tries to start a new life somewhere else running a cafe. But her troubles don’t end there, because of her past, she can’t cope with everyday life and shuts herself away from people who want to befriend her until things start happening when the ex owner of the cafe turns up and buys a shop opposite her.

Absorbing read with wonderfully crafted Characterisation.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 5, 2020

New adventure for me reading one of Jessica Redland’s novels. It stood out from the crowd in a writing group when looking for a Christmassy read. Tara warmed my heart immediately with her adorable Chocolate Pot café as did the beautifully described setting in North Yorkshire, a place I love. And I wasn’t disappointed. It soon became clear I had not only chose a dream get away from my real world to a wonderful place, but I was going to share a journey with the delightful Tara which doesn’t come without emotional obstacles she has to overcome after escaping a broken marriage that seems to eat away at her. My compassion for her grew even more as the story unfolds further. The beautifully described scenes of the shops on Castle Street made me feel like I was there.
Although I hadn’t read any of the other novels in this series it was easy to pick up and learn about the wonderful believable characters without a problem.
I’m not here to tell the story, just to let you know how much I enjoyed it and I’m sure you will too.

Absolutely loved the beautifully written Castle Street series of books. We discover Tara's story in 'Starry Skies Over The Chocolate Pot Cafe' and her tale includes themes about blood family, foster family, friendship, betrayal, braveness and courage, learning to trust again, figuring out closeness/intimacy issues, opening up to friends and colleagues about the past, and (of course) love. Such a wonderful book with some amazing quotes. Through reading and listening to this book series, Jessica Redland has become one of my favourite authors and I now look forward to reading her other novels. Emma Swan is also an excellent narrator. I highly recommend that you read or listen to this author's books. They are absolutely amazing and such a pleasure to experience.

Jessica Redland books just seem to get better and better! Another one you won’t want to put down!

Returning to Castle Street in Whitsborough bay we meet another one of its residents. This time it’s Tara. Tara owns The Chocolate Pot Cafe, we also see returning Castle Street Character Carly, who has become a friend to Tara. Tara hasn’t had the easiest of rides and being a long standing resident on the street who has made friends, friends who know nothing about Tara. Can a Sprinkle of Christmas Magic help Tara move forward, help her release some of her past in order to allow her to move forward?

I was hooked from Page one! Gripping yet an easy read. However very emotional! I think I experienced every emotion reading this...... excellent work Jessica!
