Today is publication day for the brilliant, romantic and festive read from Belinda Missen. 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
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?
For fans of Josie Silver, Lucy Diamond and Marian Keyes, this is one Christmas romance you don’t want to miss!
My Review
This is such a fantastic, feel good, Christmas book that I loved from the first page to the last. And one I devoured in one sitting.
Isobel Bennett is excited to be spending the week before Christmas in London. It is so different from the Christmases she has had before in her home of Melbourne in Australia.
Isobel is loving taking in all the sights, sounds and smells that London has to offer her. It is while waiting for a bus that Isobel is quite literally swept off of her feet by a very handsome stranger. Feeling a spark of romance between the two of them from that moment and Isobel is disappointed that she will not see him again.
Isobel works as a journalist and is called by her boss to attend a press event and interview the star of an upcoming release. Isobel is reluctant to go but does agree to attend. What Isobel did not plan on was that the person she would be interviewing would be the stranger who knocked her off her feet. Tom she now know he's called is a British actor who is making a big name for himself at the moment. The two of them do have a connection together and they decide to meet up with each other after the interview.
After spending the day together they both realise that there is a spark between them and they decide to spend the next day together too.
What follows is the two of them spending the week before Christmas together and experiencing all of the festive cheer that London has to offer them. Their romance blossoms and they are both unsure what the future has in store for them. Especially with Isobel keeping her promise to go home for Christmas.
With Isobel and Tom both wanting to follow their careers and dreams is there room for a future for the pair of them?
. This is such an engrossing read that is very well written. You are easily drawn into the story and kept there until the very last page. The setting of the book in London at Christmas sounds idyllic and one that a lot of people would really enjoy, and it contains all of the items that London is famous for at this time of year.
I really enjoyed getting to know Isobel. She is a brilliant character to get to know as there is a lot that has happened in the past to her and you also get a glimpse of her dreams for the future.
Tom is a character that is already following his dreams and finding Isobel could be the icing on the cake for him.
I love reading books from Belinda Missen and this was by far my favourite I am already looking forward to seeing where her next release will take us.
