For single mum Maggie, Christmas has always been a family occasion – her daughter Ellen filling the house with her bubbly warmth and mistletoe, her dad Paddy having one too many festive tipples, and the traditional family Christmas tree looking like a drunken elf vomited a rainbow all over it.
But this year, with both Ellen and Paddy away for the holidays, Maggie’s facing a truly blue Christmas – alone with nothing but a bottle of Baileys and an M&S turkey dinner.
Until walking the snowy streets of Oxford, Marco Cavelli quite literally crashes into her life – and, complete with broken leg, becomes her unexpected houseguest. All dreamy brown eyes and 6’5” of gorgeousness, the man is hotter and more delicious than a freshly baked mince pie.
Though Maggie always thought it’s a truth universally acknowledged that you never kiss a man in a Christmas jumper?
Decent little Christmas romance to end my year’s reading. This is just as light and fluffy as I was hoping that it would. I loved Ellen in the very small parts that she appeared in. Seriously, she was a great kid. As for Maggie and Marco, their romance was fairly believable and swoony. And I hear that this was made into a Hallmark movie. I’ll have to look this one up to add to next year’s viewing. I would have liked more steam, as this is clearly leaning into the sweet romance. But it was enjoyable overall.
