She can’t abide Christmas. He’s not sure what it’s all about. Together they’re in for a festive surprise.
Ambitious software developer Holly may have a festive name but the connection ends there. She despises the holiday season and decides to flee to the remote island of Mull in a bid to escape from it.
Syrian refugee Farid has made a new home in Scotland but he’s lonely. Understanding Nessie and Irn Bru is one thing, but when glittery reindeer and tinsel hit the shelves, he’s completely bemused. Determined to understand a new culture, he asks his new neighbour to educate him on all things Christmas.
When Holly reluctantly agrees, he realises there’s more to her hatred of mince pies and mulled wine than meets the eye. Farid makes it his mission to inject some joy into Hollys’ life but falling for her is an unexpected gift that was never on his list.
As their attraction sparkles, can Christmas work its magic on Holly and Farid, or will their spark fizzle out with the end of December?
I read this book on the off-chance, I loved the cover but it was about Christmas and I am not a Christmas person in October. However, I LOVED this book! I think this is another series I CAN so definitely get behind. It’s a series that you can jump into and it doesn’t matter if you don’t read them in order. I do, however, want to go back and read the other books after meeting the characters. I got a brief introduction to everyone and how they met and I just want to find out more! I am invested in this series and I can’t wait to read another one with these characters
Holly and Farid were just adorable. What I loved the most is that for a change we see a guy with such a sensitive side. He is what I see as a Prince Charming! His love and passion made my heart sing. I think I am getting soft in my dark heart! But this book made me smile, and for the last 6 chapters, I cried! (A lot)
This is a gorgeous story, and of course, we have a “conflict” as we watch the characters overcome their past hurt and current hurt as they open themselves up to what could be. I mean who doesn’t love that? I could gush about these two characters and this book all day. It was a gorgeous book, and despite being a Holly in October, I couldn’t help but fall in love with Christmas and their meaning of it. That was a thing of beauty.
The covers are gorgeous and I love that I have so many to catch up on and to fall in love all over again!
Until next time xxx
