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.Thank you to Bookouture for my copy of this book via Netgalley and for letting me take part in this tour. Christmas is my absolute favourite time of year and this was a great start to my season of Christmas stories!

In this story we follow Lilly King and Josh Havellin-Scott. Lilly and Josh are thrown together when Emily, Lilly's best friend and Paul, Josh's brother are stranded in Nepal and need the last few elements of their wedding finalised.

Lilly King has spent her life feeling inadequate. She has tried to please everyone by being who they want her to be rather than who she is. I really liked Lilly. She was easy to identify with and had a lot of issues that many women have probably had themselves.

Josh Havellin-Scott is the rebel in his family. His older brother is the doctor his parents would love him to be. Josh's parents think his profession of photographer is beneath their family and that he should get a real job. Josh was fun, cheeky and not to mention pretty easy on the eye.

This is the first book I have read by Donna but I am excited to read Donna's previous books and catch up with the other characters from Castle Cove. I really liked Donna's writing style. It was easy to read, with an engaging story that will have you rooting for these two characters. This was a real feel good romance that will help you find a little self confidence. If you like a romance book with a dash of Christmas then this is the book for you.
