What’s not to love!

Synopsis

It’s the most wonderful time of the year… but not for Angie Martinelli…

Having lost her boyfriend, job, and apartment all in the space of a week, Angie has no choice but to leave California and return to her family in New England.

Determined not to let life weigh her down, Angie finds work at the local mall where she worked as a teenager. After an embarrassing run-in with a handsome stranger, Nick, she’s convinced her luck is about to change.

But Nick has secrets of his own…  and as the first flakes of snow begin to fall, Angie can’t help but wonder if she’ll ever find love.

My review

I am one of those people who can really enjoy the Christmas period. As in: watching movies taking place around Christmas and reading books.

Before you judge any of us, yes, we know how the stories end, but in fact, it’s all about the Christmas magic!

So having said that, now I’ll be stating the obvious by saying I REALLY enjoyed this book!

It has everything you expect: a sad beginning, this hot looking stranger (and as reading a book, in my mind it’s a SUPER hot stranger!), the getting to know each other, some misunderstanding and the necessary portion of Christmas.

But to be honest, even if this story didn’t take place during winter, it would still have been a great story to read.

Angie has moved back to the place she grew up, after she found out that her boyfriend/ boss is actually engaged!

She starts as an insecure woman, not trusting her own gut feeling anymore. But the more you read, the more she feels confident and starts taking action again!

And when she meets Nick, it’s just even better!

Nick is a ‘typical’ romance book man: he is kind, generous, great owner of a dog. But this also means that he has no clue when he omits some information, it can backfire.

But he is also man enough to admit his faults and fight for what or who he loves!

This is a great story to read sitting or laying on the couch, blanket wrapped all around yourself with a hot chocolate (and for me with enough whipped cream on it too)!
