About the author

*Update* Christmas Island has now been proof-read and a new version has been uploaded and approved.
Natalie Normann writes cosy, contemporary romance novels set on a lovely, although windy, island on the West Coast of Norway. The island itself is fictional, and inspired by her own upbringing and culture, that sometimes seems to consist mostly of bad weather and delicious baked goods. (On the island the weather is always lovely. Mostly). She has written historical romance series, thrillers, children's books in Norwegian. Summer Island and Christmas Island are her first books in English. At the moment she's working on a new, exciting project and can't wait to share it with everyone.

I so enjoyed going there in my mind as I read the book. When you can't book the trip, a book to read is the next best thing.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2020Format: KindleVerified PurchaseA romance set in Norway...look no further!
A delightful narrative set against a beautiful island backdrop off the west coast of Norway. Laugh out loud as Jack becomes acquainted with Island life and more importantly with Ninni.
Overall, a quick holiday read with a happy ending.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2020Format: KindleThank you NetGalley and One More Chapter for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
Norway was not a country I knew a lot about prior to reading this book and I really enjoyed the change in scenery. I would recommend if you're interested in:
-Frenemies to lovers
-Travel romance
-close proximity
-Sheep that look like goats
-A small island and close community
-Sheep that look like goats
This was a light and fun summer read. I truly enjoyed Ninni and Jack as separate characters but their romance didn't connect for me. I still have no idea why they were interested in each other other than attraction. I enjoyed reading about the small island community, Jack learning more about his family and his adventures on the island. This is a closed door romance. I do wish there was more to the romance but overall a fun read.
Trigger warning: death of a parent

Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseWhat a beautiful cute story. Absolutely loved this book and it has everything you need for the perfect literary escape!
The characters were lovely and the setting just perfect. Such a feel good story. So well written. Thank you Natalie for a wonderful and enjoyable read. I’m off to order the next book by this wonderful author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI absolutely loved this book by Natalie Normann. Her two characters of Jack and Ninni were complex, beautifully written and their arcs are adeptly drawn. There is a beautiful tone and cadence to this writing - seemingly succinct on the surface but with great depth, each word obviously chosen with care to reveal the heart and soul of these characters' lives.
Highly recommended and can't wait for Christmas Island.

4.0 out of 5 stars I liked this
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI don't normally read romances at all, but this came up when I was really bored with my current reading material, so I thought, "why not". It's a lovely tale of unexpected love, and was nicely written. No smouldering dark looks, no chiselled torsos, it was refreshing! Mostly set on a Norwegian island, this makes for a lovely light and wholly enjoyable read.

3.0 out of 5 stars sweet story
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseA very sweet story with some lovely imagery. I want to visit this island! The ending was a little abrupt, but still an easy read overall.
