Soooo I wasn't as into this story as I thought I'd be. Props for a foreign location and two kinds of accents, but overall I was just over the side of bored. I was waiting for the ending with excitement. I gave it 3 stars because there wasn't anything I actively disliked about the story, it was just fine for me.

Olivia Spring is one of my favourite authors, and My Lucky Night is the second in the My Ten-Year Crush series, but you absolutely can easily read this as a standalone. I think if you do, you’re definitely going to want to read My Ten-Year Crush too!
This book gave me serious ‘Love, Actually’ vibes, although I think that was entirely down to the setting being London during a snowy Christmas. If you love festive reads, then this will not disappoint.
Cassie and Nico were a great couple once they got over the misjudged initial meeting, so although technically it could be classed as an enemies to lovers trope, they are enemies for such a small moment in time, before they find themselves caught up in the romance of a festive London. Nico definitely fit my book boyfriend ideals, especially with the sexy French accent (entirely in my head as I read the book!). I really enjoyed the way they interacted with one another and loved their hobby connection.
I loved Cassie meeting Santa with her nephew Paul and her interactions with Santa before she met Nicolas. The day progresses with Cassie helping Nico complete his bucket list of Christmas in London, and there were some entertaining moments, together with lots of giggles along the way.
This was such a fabulous festive book, with mulled wine and mistletoe, sexy moments, colouring books and a gorgeous Frenchman in a very Christmassy London. The perfect festive vibes.

5 Word Review: Christmas, Santa, family, love, passion.
I love a cynical Scrooge of a heroine in a Christmas story. Is there anything better than watching them succumb to the joy of the season? Watch their heart melt as they fall in love?
From the very first line I was here for Cassie's lack of Christmas cheer. Paired with Paul's innocent child outlook on the world, the start of the book had me gasping for air I was laughing so much. If I'd had a drink it would have come out of my nose.
Queues. If there was one thing I hated more than queuing, it was queuing at Christmas.
Cassie's personality shines through every page of the story, and she's an easy character to fall in love with. I could see little parts of me in her, and it put a nice smile on my face. And had me wanting to pick up a colouring book in the evening. Her boss is a real piece of work and I hated him, although without him we wouldn't have Nicolas and Cassie pushed together.
Nicolas is... The hot rude guy. At least until Cassie gets to know him a bit better. I loved his wicked wit, the way he had a retort of everything Cassie threw his way.
I loved every time Cassie and Nicolas clashed. There is so much passion, oh boy. The back and forth banter between them is amazing.
This is a short but sweet Christmas romance that will have you feeling all of the joy of the season. It's kind of like a Hallmark film and will fill you with the warm fuzzies.
