Review
This book is a delicious slice of festive feels that really could be a movie. From the first page i could picture everything as clear as day and it was delightful. We meet Viola on her way to work when someone barges her, gives her a black eye and is generally horrid but a chance meeting with a mr nine to five brightens it up. When he rocks up at her work - she literally chases after him. Viola is asked as part of her work outreach program to organise the local nativity play and with the help of mr nine to five (Nate) they seem to end up spending more and more time together.
As the pair spend more and more time together we get to see their relationship grow but not only between them but it also includes Nates daughter Grace. This book was just wonderful with brilliant leading characters that were flawed, had their own issues and just felt real. They showed it is okay to not be perfect and set out a brilliant example to Grace. Not only did it have brilliant main characters - it had sizzling well built chemistry between the pair, it was a slow burner that paid off. Lastly - it had all the festive feels - im talking Christmas tree shopping, snowman building, the most prefect sounding hot chocolate and fantastic roast dinners.
This is a read to pick up this winter to get you in the festive spirit.
