It is almost a year since Sean and Thea met and it's been a roller-coaster ride: they're getting married on Christmas Day!
Neither Thea or Sean want a big fuss - a simple wedding, with Christmas lights and just a few sprigs of mistletoe for decoration is all they need. But before they know it, things begin to get complicated. Trying to manage a long-distance relationship in the build-up to their Christmas wedding is one thing, but as one challenge after another comes their way, the happy couple begin to wonder if they'll ever make it down the aisle . . .
My thoughts:
I did not realize it when I started, and it did not matter, but this is a continuation of another book. Where the main characters met and fell in love, and I guess stuff went on with family members too. But it works well as a stand alone, but of course I am curious how the mistletoe brought them together the first time.
Sean and Thea met a year ago, and in this one he proposes and they settle for a Xmas wedding. But! First there will be a Fall of drama. There are so many things in the way, he lives in Cornwall, she lives in London. She has a job there, he has a job here. How will they plan the wedding? Are the right for each other? But they are both good people and obviously in love so it will be a happy wedding, just like they want it.
But the book is not only about them. Thea's mum and dad are thinking of moving. Her sister is having a baby and then gets post natal depression.
Conclusion:
A book packing a bit more drama and serious issues than I would have thought. But all good, it made it real. And it all ends well.

Are you going to read the previous book?
ReplyDeleteIf I found it at the library yes. To buy, well no, There are authors I love that I just can't buy cos my wishlist is too big. They would have to wait until I am 100
DeleteSounds like a good holiday read.
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteAs long as it ends well, I can handle any drama!
ReplyDeleteIt does :D
DeleteDoesn't sound like the fun, light kind of read I'm looking for in Christmas romances.
ReplyDeleteWell not exactly no, I read the perfect one for you just today
DeleteI'm so far behind on holiday reading!!
ReplyDeleteKaren @For What It's Worth
I have one more to read and then I will say no to them
DeleteHaven't heard of this author, but sounds like a good one, I like a little drama and some issues!
ReplyDeleteThen you'd like this one
DeleteIt sounds good, but maybe too much drama for me right now.
ReplyDeleteWell not too much drama, just normal drama
DeleteIt's good that the story was more about family than the couple. Also it's great that it can work as is and reading the previous one is required
ReplyDeleteI do like when that can be done as I did not know about it
DeleteGlad you enjoyed even if more serious than you expected
ReplyDelete:)
Deleteoh I love this cover too...it has a charm to it. I love all the lights. I love seeing great involvement in family too.
ReplyDeleteIt is just adorable
DeleteLOL. That would be weird ;)
ReplyDeleteI like it when you find out that it is a part of a series, but it doesn't matter. Not that I read out of order or anything...
ReplyDeleteI like Christmas romances.
ReplyDeleteMe too
DeleteI see someone is getting into the Christmas spirit :)

Oh yes
DeleteAww glad it still worked for it. Sounds like a nice holiday read.
ReplyDeleteThat it was
DeleteI have done that, but I am glad it worked and I like that this felt real.
ReplyDeleteSO happy it worked
DeleteSucks that the story started in a previous book. Glad it still worked out good for you.
ReplyDeleteBoth were holiday books, I guess she just wanted to continue
DeleteA simple wedding. Riiight. :) Never happens in a romance book. haha!
ReplyDeleteHaha. The road there was not simple but well there, yes simple
DeleteIt looks more serious than I would expect too, but then post natal depression is never being delt with in romances - they all have babies, are delighted about it, the babies are always in a good mood and sleep the whole night, etc. So it's good that the subject is treated ;)
ReplyDeleteI liked that, cos yes it's not perfect. Tell me one mum that is not tired at one point. And there are the serious kind of tired
DeleteI'm glad you weren't lost even if you've not read the first book.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad too
DeleteGlad you liked it. I don't know if I'd want all that seriousness in a holiday read.
ReplyDeleteIt was not SERIOUS, just serious, but still holiday feel
Deletemmmmmmmmm not feeling a holiday novel this year. LOL
ReplyDeleteOh no
DeleteSo more women's fiction than romance. And how do they solve the: where shall we live, who will give up their career?
ReplyDeleteYou want spoilers!?
DeleteBut it works out, she is not happy with her job, or where she lives
