It's hard to believe, but I have finished my first Christmas romance already. It's called
Wish Upon A Star by Sarah Morgan. It's more chick lit than romance, so beware.
The cover says it's a book full of romance and spakle and boy, it is. It contains two stories: Christy's and Miranda's. Here is my review:
Christy Christy and her husband Alessandro have seperated some weeks before Christmas. Christy moved to London with the kids, while Alessandro stayed at their home in the Lake District. Christy really wants to skip Christmas this year, but her children have other ideas. They want to spend Christmas with their father, at home. It seems as if Christy was going to spend Christmas at the Lake District with her ex.
Nice story, nice writing. Not too remarkable, but a nice Christmas story. I just didn't see the greatness of the hero, maybe that's why this book didn't really work for me.
Miranda Miranda is single - and pregnant. And then, around Christmas time, she is rescued from the snowy mountains by a complete stranger. Who, have a guess, is her new boss. By Boxing Day, Miranda is pretty sure that Jake is more than a short romance. He is a keeper.
Now, that is a great story! Jake is a super hot hero, which made it easy for me to get access to the story. Miranda is loving and keeps up with Jake's pace. The writing is fast and funny and the whole story is totally believable. Very nice read.
Conclusion: Totally worth the money. Especially for Miranda's story. I love the cover art, which is all sparkly and shiny and just right for a Christmas book.
