Would you swap sea and sunshine for tinsel and turkey?
Gabby Sanderson is used to being let down – even at Christmas. Which is why she’s happy to skip the festive season completely in favour of a plane ticket and sunnier climes.

But this Christmas could be different, because this time she might not be spending it alone. Can Owen Cooper charm Gabby into loving Christmas in the same way he’s charmed his way into her life, or is he just another person who’ll end up disappointing her?

The holidays and romance are made for each other. From favorite Christmas songs to cozy fires to snuggle by, from merry gatherings to mistletoe moments, Christmas is the season for love and hope. Author Kathryn Freeman shows us what happens in the real world, away from the Christmas card perfect scenes.

 

The author is at her best with her characters and their development. The book begins six weeks before Christmas as a committee meets to plan the corporate Christmas party. Owen Cooper, successful salesman, blessed with looks and charm, has begun to realize that the new employee in Marketing, Gabby Sanderson, is quite enticing.

 

Owen begins his “sales campaign”. The relationship between Owen and Gabby progresses from flirtatious and gentle to full-on sensual pleasure. A tropical getaway for two during the holidays is scheduled. But then…

 

We learn more about Gabby. She has had an unusual upbringing that has left her with major trust issues. To her, Owen is just another flirt, a casual fling. As the days count down to Christmas, can Owen win her heart forever? Can Gabby finally discover and reveal her feelings?

 

We learn much about Owen and Gabby and how life and love can get complicated. Each of these main characters is well-developed, likable and memorable. We also get to meet a mix of other characters, from work and family that add magic to the story. The young girl Zoe is a charmer herself. . (Turns out Owen is the master of corny jokes. You’ll love his “groaners”.) And Christmas is fully on display, with all the wonders of the season

 

Many readers will enjoy the slow romance of Owen and Gabby. Owen is a darling guy. For me, the story, while fun, had  too many similar descriptions of Gabby’s trust issues.

 

For readers who are wondering- yes, there are many “bedroom scenes” in the book. Nothing graphic, but plenty of mentions of heat and passion.

 

I’m sure Kathryn Freeman’s fans will adore this book. Many thanks to Rachels Random Resources and the publisher for an ARC. This is my honest review.

Author Bio –

A former pharmacist, I’m now a medical writer who also writes romance. Some days a racing heart is a medical condition, others it’s the reaction to a hunky hero.

With two teenage boys and a husband who asks every Valentine’s Day whether he has to buy a card (yes, he does), any romance is all in my head. Then again, his unstinting support of my career change proves love isn’t always about hearts and flowers – and heroes come in many disguises.
