Happy Christmas Eve by Jackie Ladbury



Today it is my turn on the Blog Tour for this wonderful Christmas book from Jackie Ladbury. Thank you to Rachel's Random Resources for inviting me to join the tour and for my coy of the ebook in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. 




Book Description
A heart-warming Christmas story to put you in the mood for the festive season.


All I want for Christmas is you … or you?
Eve Halligan is back in her hometown for Christmas after a whirlwind few years touring with her band, the Molotovs. A lot has changed since she left, but two things have stayed the same. One: Eve is head-over-heels in love with Lucien Malikov, the Molotovs’ bad boy lead singer. Two: Lucien is completely indifferent to her.
Still, Eve dreams that this could be the Christmas where she convinces Lucien that they’re made for each other. But when childhood friend and local caterer Theo Wright comes back into her life bringing with him festive cupcake and sausage roll conundrums, Eve begins to question whether her Christmas dreams have been wasted on the wrong man …




My Review
This is the perfect read to get you in the mood for the festive season and it is one I could not put down. 
Eve Halligan has spent the last few years touring with her band, The Molotovs and is finally pleased to be back in her home town. Life on the road has been a whirlwind and Eve is looking forward to a break and only playing a few gigs nearer home. 
The lead singer the band is Lucien and Eve has been in love with him since they were children, unfortunately Lucien does not feel the same for Eve. 
What Eve is hoping is that this Christmas he will finally realise that they could be more than friends. What Eve had not prepared for was bumping into her old friend Theo, the two of them were really close friends, which all changed when Eve left to join the band. Theo is pleased to see Eve back and he treats her so much better than Lucien does which leads to the two of them spending more and more time together and sparks fly between the two of them. 
Has Eve finally got her Christmas wish is it just she has fallen for a different man or will her love for Lucien finally be reciprocated?
This is such a feel good and heart warming read that is full of festive cheer. 
The writing style of this book is so clear and flows well keeping you reading page after page. 
I really enjoyed getting to know Eve. She is so in love with Lucien and has been for a such a long time. She has spent so much of her time feeling this way that it's hard for her to let anyone else in.
Lucien is a difficult character and I feel is aware of the feelings Eve has for him and he is using them to his own advantage with no regard for her feelings. 
I loved reading the development of the relationship with Theo and Eve and its one that you will really be rooting for. 
This is the first book I have read by Jackie Ladbury and it certainly will not be the last. 
This is a fantastic Christmas read, and one you will not be disappointed that you bought.

From spending many years as an air-stewardess and seeing that it really is love that makes the world go around, she determined to put the same sparkle and emotion into her stories. Her life is no longer as exotic (or chaotic) as it was in those heady days of flying as she now lives a quiet life in Hertfordshire with her family and two cats, spending her days making up stories and finding excuses not to go to the gym.
