    About this audiobook

    Cosy up with a mug of hot chocolate for some festive sparkle from MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER 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. Afterall, 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 is a standalone novel, but best enjoyed after reading Christmas at Carly's Cupcakes.

      Worst. Christmas. Ever.

      Nov 11, 2019

      As a family, we always managed to avoid festive disasters. When our dog was seen running down the street with a Christmas turkey in his teeth, our turkey was still in the fridge. But a few years ago, in my thirties and newly married, I realised it wa

      Tis The Season To SLOW DOWN

      Oct 22, 2020

      This is my favourite time of year. I love everything about it: the twinkly lights, the sprigs of mistletoe, the smell of satsumas. Last December I was told to nibble a carrot and claim Rudolf had been feeling peckish. Hell, I’d nailed Santa’s brandy,

      Oct 1, 2024

      When I was 5, in 1953, Mom and I were shopping in Lockport, N.Y. Back then, we went from store to store down Main Street. I remember seeing Christmas decorations overhead from one side of the street to the other. The tinsel garlands lit up at night.

      Couldn’t get past the first chapter because the audio reader isn’t great.

      I usually love Jessica Redland’s audiobooks but this one was eh. Women being the enemy in these books is becoming predictable and tiresome and the narration for Jed was terrible. Sorry!
