A Magical New York Christmas: A Novel by Anita Hughes

4.0

Get ready for magical week at the Plaza hotel in NYC.

Sabrina has taken a job ghost writing the memoir of a famous art dealer , Grayson. How lucky for her the job includes a weeks stay at the Plaza Hotel. The first night she meets Ian, a handsome British visitor.
One thing leads to another and we’re smack dab in the middle of a mistaken identity story.
During the course of her interviews with Grayson, Sabrina discovers he used to be a butler at the hotel for Kay Thompson, the author of the Eloise books.

I enjoyed this heartwarming story and finished it in one afternoon. I liked how each chapter concentrated on just one character at a time. It made the story move along quickly. The flashback chapters (Grayson) give a lot of information about Eloise and Kay Thompson. I admit I do not know much about Eloise but foresee a trip the library in the near future.

This book has everything you want in a Christmas story; mistaken identity, fancy parties, sightseeing in NYC during Christmas and most importantly, falling in love.
