⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A festive and fun holiday rom com. I laughed as much as I “aww’ed,” lower levels of spice, (my preference)- a coworker romance and really strong witty banter and strong character development of the supporting characters. I am adding Kristen Bailey’s other books to my “To read” list. If you like holiday romance, this is not one to miss.
Set in the UK, Maggie is what we call “adorkable” the IT manager who has the difficult task of knowing who to let go and make redundant. That is….RIGHT after the holidays. Maggie keeps this a secret from her team of 3– Leo, Jasper and Frank. With Leo she has great chemistry and mutual attraction, she helps fake dating Frank to his cousin’s wedding (which is a very funny segment) and visits Jasper’s posh family, where he is half in and half out of the closet. Over the holiday she spends part with each of the “3 kings” on her team.
I found the dialogue to be excellent, the humor lighthearted while heartwarming, and the story easy to read and follow. Great for fans of Sarah Adams and Tessa Bailey.
