Book Description

Tilly Hunter has fabulous friends, her dream job as a make-up artist with a prestigious opera company and Felix, her kind and caring husband to be. It looks set to be the most perfect Christmas yet!
But when a monumental blunder forces her to work closely with new IT director Marcus Walker, it's not only the roast chestnut stalls on the cobbles of her beloved Covent Garden that cause sparks to fly…
Super serious and brooding, Marcus hasn’t got a creative bone in his sharp-suited body. For technophobe Tilly, it's a match made in hell.
And yet, when Tilly discovers her fiancé isn’t at all what he seems, it's Marcus who's there for her with a hot chocolate and a surprisingly strong shoulder to cry on … He might just be the best Christmas present she’s ever had.

Review

I received an eARC copy of this book from the publisher. Here is my honest review.

This is a light-hearted contemporary romance that is perfect to read during the Christmas season. Tilly is a heroine that has just enough quirks and faults to be relatable and lovable. I enjoyed the daily operations and behind the scenes look we were given to a opera company; it added so much interest to the story and the cast of supporting characters really added so much to the book. Marcus was a genuine good guy that didn't have any faults or hangups as a hero. While the insta-hate from Tilly to Marcus is pretty standard for this genre, it was believable. Seeing their friendship grow was natural and fluid. It was predictable but in a really good way - it left me feeling warm and fuzzy and gooey inside, which is just what a romance should do in my opinion.

I gave this book: ★ - 3.5 really
