Today I am excited to share with you my review of this feel good festive read from Lucy Colman. Thank you to Aria Fiction for my copy of the ebook in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
Book Description
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
This is an absolutely brilliant, feel good and festive read that will have you totally hooked from the first page to the last.
Leesa Oliver is heading back to the UK after working in Sydney for the festive season. Leesa is a workaholic that isn't keen on heading back to the UK and not being able to work while she spends time with her extended family.
Leesa has been working for Cary Anderson, who is also not looking forward to the festive season and spending time with his family.
When they are due to land in the UK the weather has turned and the area is being blasted by a snowstorm. Leesa has no other choice but to go and stay with Cary and his grandmother. It is while staying here that the two of them hatch a plan and make a contract for Christmas to agree to help each other make the festive season become more bearable, especially when Leesa have a huge drama while visiting her ex in laws.
Once the season is over and they head into the new year the contract continues and the two of them are regularly in contact with each other ad seem to be spending more and more time together.
A lot happens for them both over the year and it is not long until Christmas is on the horizon. Will Leesa be able to share her true feelings with Cary and have the best family Christmas ever or will the two stay apart and just keep following the contract.
Leesa is a great character to read about. She is strong and hardworking. She has had her fair share of hurt and heartache and is now throwing herself into work to allow her to forget what happened in the past.
Cary is a very complex character who s trying his best to pursue his work and try and look after our environment. He loves his grandmother and is trying to do his best for her too. There is also a range of quirky supporting characters that really add to the story.
The setting for this book sounds idyllic and the perfect place for some magic to happen.
I love the way the book is written. It flows really well and really draws you into the story.
this is a brilliant, fun and festive release. This is not the first book I have read from Lucy Coleman and it certainly will not be the last.
