Christmas and romance are in the air...
It's December 23rd and while everyone else is
rushing home for the holidays, workaholic Leesa Oliver is dreading switching on
her out-of-office for the festive season. And it seems her equally driven boss,
Cary Anderson, isn't relishing spending Christmas at his family's country
estate either.
So together, they draft an unexpected
Christmas contract: They'll spend half of the holidays with each other's
families, pretending to be a couple. Leesa knows the insufferably good-looking
Cary will make her Christmas more bearable, but what happens after the last of
the mince pies have been eaten...?
Leesa signed off on a sensible business
agreement, but somewhere, amongst the fairy lights and carols something seems
to have changed... It seems there might just be some magic under the mistletoe
this Christmas!
My Review: 
Woah, what a festive treat! For festive fans and those romance
lovers.
Leesa on a long-haul flight
with Cary – a workaholic, picky man who has deserted her back in economy. They
are colleagues but only really start get to know each other better on this
flight back from Sydney. With bad weather stalling her original plans, Leesa
finds herself heading to his family for the night; both characters do not seem enthralled
with having a festive filled Christmas though – will this change?
I must admit Cary seemed like a
right idiot at first and it put me off. I didn’t want to like him at all…but… I
guess by the end he may have won me round a fair bit, I couldn’t help it.. I
got swept along with all the characters and even him! I was all for Leesa from
the opening page, she seemed like my kind of girl and if it was a hallmark
movie, she’d be the character everyone loves – the girl who has been through so
much and is scared, the girl who has readers on side from the start.
Lots going on in this story, it
kept me interested and I do love when fate seems to have a plan that ensures
our main characters get what they deserve, even if they aren’t expecting (or
wanting) it at all. Thought it brilliant that the timing of the book takes us
on a journey, not just a quick glimpse in time. We see throughout the book
there are complete misunderstandings, drama and family issues that save this
being what you typically expect.
Lucy Coleman gives us emotion,
heartache and sincerity – such an emotional read, that will give you a cosy
warm glow. About
