Kate Turner is a fabric
designer for Liberty Department store in London who has returned to her
childhood home of Blexford when her parents marriage broke down. Her lifelong friends Matt and Laura both have
partners but Blexford isn’t exactly the Big Smoke, and the romantic prospects
are limited. So when Laura comes to the rescue and signs Kate up with a dating
agency that promises to help singles find love before the holidays, she decides
to give it a go – after all what has she got to lose? Twenty-three days until Christmas. Twelve
dates with twelve different men.
This is an extremely festive read and will have you jingling
your bells by the end of it – there is no way you can escape the Christmas season
after reading this book!! It is stuffed full of tinsel, baubles and snow!
It is a lovely, albeit
predictable read and at times I felt that the twelve dates were way too much,
and about thirty pages in I knew where the story was going to go. Having said
all that, towards the middle of the book, I didn’t want to put it down, it
seemed to gather pace and drew me in. I
just desperate to find out how everything would be resolved, and I found myself
waking up in the night to read a few more pages. Now that I have got to the
end, I’m disappointed that Matt, Laura and Kate won’t be in my life anymore, I’m
desperate to meet them for coffee and cake in the Pear Tree Café!!
Have the minced pies and the
mulled wine ready for this gorgeous Yuletide tale.
