Dr Gwen Wright and famous actor Caleb Lawson meet at Gwen's mother's wedding to Caleb's uncle. She doesn't think much of him.

Then, some months later, Gwen agrees to housesit her mother's house over Christmas as, inexplicably, there are renovations going on while they have suddenly moved to Japan. One night Caleb arrives out of the blue to hide and Gwen hits him with a wrench, thinking he's an intruder.

There is insta-love aplenty, with Gwen counting how often and how he says her name (GweN. Round G, flat N) and repeatedly noticing how he smells of cinnamon. 

This would all be lovely but Caleb is famous and the paparazzi are everywhere. I have to say though, if you don't want to land in the papers, maybe don't kiss someone in the middle of a bar?

There is drama and a middle of the book break-up, where it starts to drag a little. It is not overly Christmassy either as the story continues on from Christmas.

There's a lot of mention of therapy because both characters had to deal with things in their life, Gwen with losing her Dad young and Caleb shooting to stardom young and battling with the fame and addiction.

This book comes in a sweet and in a spicy version, with the sweet version only involving kissing. To be honest, I think the author should decide what level of spice she wants to write and then stick to it. I generally prefer less spice but I can always skip a few pages.

It is a very well written story that is of course predictable and doesn't solve the fame problem, but the characters are engaging, and there's a cute dog. Plus, Gwen is sticking it to the patriarchy with her art therapy project!
