Thanks to a transatlantic house swap, California girl Ashley Turner is finally going to fulfill her lifelong dream of a proper English Christmas. Her holiday plans did not include a sexy stranger climbing into her borrowed bed in the middle of the night. But in the light of day, Ashley can't help but wonder if Santa has delivered early...Game designer Oliver Stansfeld can't wait to leave dreary London—and all its difficult holiday memories—for sunny San Diego. But a freak ice storm and a grounded plane have forced him back to his already-occupied flat. To make up for the mix-up, the least he can do is show his pretty houseguest where to get the perfect Christmas tree before he leaves.
The more time they spend together, the more their attraction grows, and soon Ashley is tempting Oliver to give in to the spirit of the season and snuggle up for the rest of the winter. As the ice melts and flights start taking off again, he must choose between giving in to the past or risking his heart on a chance at love.
MY REVIEW:
Ashley was fulfilling her life’s dream, she
had saved for five years to be able to do it.
She was doing a home swap with Oliver, her to London and him to San
Diego. But…there was a bit of a
problem. Although Ashley was able to
make it to London and safely to Oliver’s home.
Oliver was snowed in unable to leave all flights were grounded. So, back home he goes to his home.
If only he had called first. I am sure he is rethinking that action
now. You see Ashley is a young, single
woman from the United States. Not any
state but California and she is very capable of caring for herself even when
she’s half asleep. As he so harshly
finds out. Can begin to guess what
happens when she wakes with a start to find a strange fully naked man in her
bed? And she acts instead of reacts…Oliver
couldn’t blame her. He thought her
flight never made it in since his never made it out. You see he was trying to leave the memories
behind for Christmas. California on the
beach where it’s warm and no memories of what and who he lost was the ticket.
The next morning though sparks something
in Oliver her never thought he would ever feel again, hope. But, it was conflicting with the memories. So, now what you will have to do is read and
see where and if it takes these two anywhere.
For me the way the book ended felt incomplete. I liked it better before the epilogue. Who said that? Did I say that? I can’t believe I did since most of the time
I am the one who wants and epilogue. For
this book I think the author did it an injustice. That’s why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5
stars. Provided by netgalley.com
