Two people. One chance meeting. Seven
days to Christmas.
Isobel Bennett is waiting for the
number 11 bus when a man quite literally falls into her lap. Snow is falling,
Christmas lights are twinkling, and a gorgeous man with dark brown hair has
just slipped on ice and is now pressed against Isobel.
Isobel knows she’s not
imagining the chemistry between them. But then his ride arrives and,
embarrassed, he beats a hasty retreat, murmuring apologies – and Isobel
realises only too late that she didn’t manage to catch his name…
When she runs into him again
the next morning, she decides it’s fate.
It’s a second chance for Isobel and
Tom – but there’s only one week until she’s leaving London for good. Seven days
of enjoying all the festive delights the city has to offer: ice-skating at
Somerset House, mulled wine on the Southbank, Christmas shopping at Liberty.
There’s magic in the air and mistletoe
in the trees – but what will happen when the week is over?
My Review:
I really enjoyed this Christmas rom-com, with lovely festive
flourishes – you must enjoy some ice-skating shenanigans and gorgeous drool worthy
foods.
Our two loved up characters are likeable and well written;
it seems an unlikely pairing at first, but I loved getting to know them both. I
was expecting Tom to be a big egomaniac and not that great, but I was
pleasantly surprised. Isobel was a gorgeous character, I was rooting for her and
wanted her to find a happy ending, to stop feeling obligated and do the things
that were right for her.
This book is very well written, some lovely descriptions that
set the scene very nicely. I enjoyed the atmosphere created by the author. It
is full of romance but also some really laugh out loud moments and it kept me thoroughly
entertained.
Fab read that I definitely recommend.
