Going home for Christmas this winter just might turn Drew Cannon into a real Grinch. When his college sweetheart, Lauren Kincaid, broke off their engagement a year ago, Drew retreated to Tokyo to run the Asia-Pacific division of the family's toy company and lick his wounds. If that weren't enough, his attempt at a high-profile holiday doll for the company was a bust. Now he's headed back to New York City to spend the holidays with his love-struck dad, his pissed-off twin brother, and the ex who broke his heart.
Lauren isn't exactly keen to spend Christmas with her former flame, either. But as JDL Toys's marketing director, she's forced to deal with their doll problem, holiday or not. Things take a turn for the worse when she and Drew are tasked with planning surprise nuptials for his brother.
With all their focus on happily-ever-after, Lauren and Drew soon discover things might not be so settled between them after all. Can a holiday wedding offer them a second chance at forever?
This is a perfect, cosy read for a cold Winters night. The author has created a wonderful balance between romance and Christmas cheer.
Drew and Lauren should have been married by now except an unfortunate misunderstanding halted their planned wedding in Hawaii over a year ago, ending their nine year relationship. Lauren relocated to New York after accepting a job from Luke, Drew's brother. Drew was transferred to Tokyo to run the Asia Pacific division of his family's business; JDL Toys.
The impending wedding of Jack Cannon; Drew's father brings everyone together, triggering a string of unexpected events – or are they? Do Drew and Lauren still love each other? Is it possible for them to have to find their HEA?
With a magical Christmassy backdrop the author has created a charming modern day fairytale, with twists and turns. Throw in likable and relatable protagonists, a complementary group of adorable, conniving, but romantic supporting characters and you have a story that will leave you with a warm, fuzzy glow.
