Today it is my stop on the Blog Tour for this festive, romantic and heart warming read from Jules Wake. Thank you to Rachel's Random Resources for inviting me to join the tour and for my copy of the ebook in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
Book Description
It's mayhem in Bethlehem…unless they can work together!
Viola Smith plays the viola in an orchestra (yes really!), but this year she's been asked to stretch her musical talents to organising Notting Hill's local nativity.
Nate Williams isn't looking forward to Christmas but as his small daughter, Grace, has the starring role in the show, he's forced to stop being a Grinch and volunteer with Viola.
With the sparks between them hotter than the chestnuts roasting in Portobello market, Nate and Viola can't deny their feelings. And as the snow starts to fall over London, they find themselves trapped together in more ways than one…
My Review
It is while Viola is travelling on a packed underground train to her job playing as part of the orchestra, that she bumps, quite literally into handsome stranger, Nate. The two of them leave the train together and walk together to where they both work. Viola believes this is the last time she will see him.
It is just after her orchestra rehearsal that Viola is surprised to see Nate again. He has asked to speak to her, and is requesting her help with his daughters school Nativity play. Viola shocks herself when she agrees to help after all how hard could it be?
Viola soon finds out at her first visit to the school what she has signed up to and is shocked with just how much work she will need to do to get they nativity done in time especially when the script isn't even finished. Viola is sure that Nate will be around to help her, he however has dramas going on in his own life that means he won't be able to help Viola with the play.
The two of them do start to spend more time together as Viola helps Nate with his daughter but then Viola's mother has a fall which then throws more work and drama towards Viola.
Viola is not sure just how she is going to get everything done to please everyone but she is determined that it will all work out.
Will she manage to keep to her word and get everything done and will the spark of romance happen between her and Nate. With it being Christmas and with the feel of good will in the air anything is possible.
What a brilliant festive treat this book is, perfect for snuggling down for the afternoon with a hot chocolate. I really like the style of writing it flows well and really draws you in from the first page to the last.
I found the character of Viola very like able. She tries hard to please her family and friends and does help and support them as much as she can. She has obviously been hurt in the past and is still getting over this. its great to see her getting over this as you read through the book.
Nate has had a lot to deal with in his life too and you find out more and more about this as you get to know him.
This book has a great cast of supporting characters who all play their part in the lives of Viola and Nate in the lead up to Christmas and really do add to the storyline.
I loved this book from Jules Wake and I am already looking forward to her next release.
