Kristen Bailey is the queen of Christmas rom-coms... or ones set during other times of year... or basically just the queen of rom-coms in general! I love love love her humour and the banter between her characters, and that for me is better than grand romantic gestures or spice of any level. Grand old British humour at it's finest!

Maggie is a thoroughly delightful character with a huge heart and a sweet tooth! She gets put into a terrible position by her bosses at work and has to choose one of her team to dismiss over the Christmas period. Her team are her family and this year due to her parents being on a cruise, the 3 lads had conspired between them for Maggie to be spending parts of Christmas with all of them.

The fun that follows includes being a fake girlfriend while setting up her 'boyfriend' with someone much better, putting awful family members in their place, rescuing baby foxes in a reindeer onesie and stealing wedding cake...and that's before the romance even gets started!

I really love the way that Maggie and Leo start, find each other, take selfies with donkeys and end up together too. I think I've found myself a new book boyfriend crush for sure! The community of families that surround the characters are joyous to read about and such a heartwarming part of the story. My favourite of course being Leo's family dynamics. The smile didn't leave my face.

I did see the way the job situation panned out quite early on although if I had my way with the ending, the Wiseman company could shove their Christmas tree where the sun don't shine and they would have all gotten better jobs for a company that deserved them. Really wanted to knock the smile off Jan's face.

Adore the narrator and the way she could put on the different accents so well. She really made the book come alive and her comic timing was brilliant.

A 5-star read! Thank you so much to Netgalley, Storm Publishing and the queen herself Kristen Bailey for a huge big smile on my face with this ARC. All opinions are my own.
