Emily Parker is set to have the worst Christmas ever!
Her flatmate's moved out, she's closed her heart to love and she's been put in charge of the school original Christmas show – with zero musical ability.
Disgraced superstar, Ray Stone is in desperate need of a quick PR turnaround. Waking up from a drunken stupor to a class of ten-year-olds snapping pics and Emily looking at him was not what he had in mind.
Ray needs Emily's help to delete the photos, and she needs his with the show. As they learn to work together they may just open their hearts to more than a second chance...

I've known for years now that Mandy Baggot is one talented author and fabulous story teller. However within this book we discover she is fabulous lyricist too. Well at least her character of Ray is, as he helped Emily with her schools Christmas show.
I loved seeing all these new lyrics to old Christmas favourites, and I couldn't help but sot of get the feeling that the show itself had the same feel to it as the film Nativity.
I really enjoyed getting to know the children in Emily's class, and although they may not have been completely key to the main story, it didn't detract from loving her class, and seeing how she reacted to various situations as a teacher. Was also amused to see the various wildlife that ended up in her classroom.
Emily and Ray are from completely different walks of life, and under normal circumstances would have probably never, met, but now that they have, this fledgling friendship was enjoyable to watch develop.
And seeing how Ray, famous singer, songwriter is coping with the blatantly untrue bad press he is getting is admirable, although I was completely shocked when the truth came out, as I hadn't even considered it as a possible outcome.
I found the book got off to a bit of a slow start, but once I got into the swing of it I was wholeheartedly enjoying it. i connected with Emily rather quickly, but it took Ray a short while to warm to, and when I did, well you could't have asked for a nicer hero.
It was great getting to know Emily and Ray's friends and families, and seeing how different their feelings for Christmas. are.
Many fantastically festive moments in this story, far too many to mention in this incredibly charming festive romance.
Thank you to Netgalley and Aria for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
