Thank you to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for this ARC.

Maggie is the head of IT for a financial company. She's been working with likeable Frank, Jasper and Leo for four years and calls them her work family. Then suddenly, shortly before Christmas, management tells her to make one of them redundant because the company has to downsize. Trouble is she has just been invited by all three of them to events over the Christmas period, and anyway, she doesn't want to split up the fam.

So she goes to a wedding with Asian Frank as his fake girlfriend to give the aunties something to talk about, accompanies posh Jasper to his family's manor house ("Their house has wings. Do you know what I own that has wings? Sanitary towels.") and finally celebrates Christmas with sexy Leo and his warm, northern family. But how can she start something with Leo if she might have to fire him?

I had a slight problem with the writing style. The FMC's habit of talking to other people in her head instead of talking to them directly took me a while to get used to.

But altogether this is a heartwarming, funny and romantic book that celebrates geeky friendships and charming bromances. It was lovely to accompany three very different guys home and experience their families and traditions. It's not every day you get mistaken for a bridesmaid, rescue baby foxes and nearly kidnap a donkey as a Christmas tradition! The whole story was adorable and feel-good, with just the right amount of festiveness. Recommended.
