I've had my eye on A New York Christmas Fairy Tale by Sarah Morgan for a while now, ever since I spotted it as a free read on the Mills & Boon website back in April. I knew it was perfect for the festive period and I've been eagerly awaiting the longer evenings for the excuse to pick it up.
Roxy has learned the hard way not to believe in fairy tales, but this Christmas she wants her little daughter, Mia, to have everything she's ever dreamed of.
As the snowflakes start to fall over Manhattan, Roxy can no longer deny her own secret dreams - that her gorgeous colleague, James, will kiss her under the mistletoe!
James knows he needs to take things slowly with Roxy - she's been hurt before, and it's not just her heart she's protecting, it's adorable Mia's, too. But as December nights get colder, and the chemistry simmering between them gets hotter, James decides it's time to act!
If Roxy will let him, maybe this Christmas he can make all her dreams come true…

5 Word Review: Family, friendship, attraction, work, love.
A New York Christmas Fairytale is a fairly quick read. It's fun and festive and full of the feels. The only bad thing is that the links between chapter 17, 18, and 19 are bit broken, but they work if clicked from the main page in the link above.
This is the perfect story to put a smile on your face in the run up to Christmas.
Roxy is fantastically snarky and sarcastic, and she knows her own mind. She's not afraid to stand up for herself and especially Mia, and she'd do anything for her little girl. Roxy has had such a terribly hard life, and yet she is so full of love. Mia is absolutely adorable and a couple of scenes with her gave me a giggle. Such a sweet little girl.
The romance between Roxy and James is so lovely. It's caring and generous and they're both so aware of each other and cautious that they don't cause harm. Just let me have a little swoon thinking back on it...
There are some wickedly funny parts to this story, and I laughed out loud and snorted tea out of my nose. It's so heart-warming, and perfect for when it's barely above freezing outside. A quick read for a quick cheer up.
He had a way of looking at her, as if he saw the whole way through, to all of her.
A quick read for a quick cheer up. Sounds exactly the type of thing I need right now! Amazing that this is free as well. Roxy sounds like a great character! x
ReplyDeleteYou can always rely on M&B, although I must confess it's been a while since I last picked up a copy. Great review, enough to tease but not spoil! x
