This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Firstly thank you to Carina for providing me with this book via Netgalley. I love Christmas and as soon as I read the summary I knew I wanted to read this book. I was thrilled when it got approved.

We start off on Christmas Eve, with Tilly at the train station her suitcase in hand, panda eyes and a broken shoe, she thinks things can't get any worse when she finds out her train is cancelled and there are no more until after Christmas. With no job, no home and no way to get to her brother's for Christmas Day Tilly finds herself slumped on a bench. Tilly wasn't expecting to run in to the love of her life. The one she always compared every man to. Her brother's best friend Dean. After 10 years of course this was the time she would bump into him. I really liked Tilly, she is feisty, independent and strong. After what she went through I don't think I would have made it out of bed for weeks.

Unbeknown to Tilly, Dean has always liked her. Even when he broke her heart on her 18th birthday. He didn't do it because he didn't love her. He did it because he is a man of integrity. He made a promise to Tilly's brother and he will do his damnedest to keep to it. Even if after 10 years she still gets his heart racing. Dean is a good man. He's been through a lot. He has his secrets and I thought he was very brave for what he did and for telling Tilly and Phil. I had little tears in my eyes when he was telling them.

This is a sexy short christmassy read that will have you laughing, screaming and crying. This book is very moving and Aurelia has a way of dragging you right in to the story. I have 2 more books by Aurelia on my TBR pile and I cannot wait to get stuck into them.
