What do you do when you realise you've fallen for your best friend, but he sees you as the sister he never had? And to make things worse, you're stuck in the middle of a matchmaking scheme to find him someone else!

Best friends Gaby and Raff are inseparable and know each other inside out. But with Raff's string of disastrous relationships and his newfound fame as Britain’s Best Baker, it's time to enlist the Ever After Agency to help him find true love.

At first, Gaby is all in – Raff is a catch, after all. But as she secretly helps to find his perfect match, she’s hit with unexpected pangs of jealousy. And before she can act on her feelings, Raff falls for one of his dates.

Can Gaby keep her emotions in check, or will she risk ruining their friendship to find out if Raff feels the same way?

Set in London and Seattle, this romantic and festive romcom is perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Mhairi McFarlane and Lindsey Kelk.

Words can't express how much I am loving this series from Sandy Barker.  And this is yet another fabulous addition to it. 

While still featuring Poppy as our main matchmaker, and being able to catch up with everyone else at the agency, this is the story of Raff's match. 

Raff who has just won a TV Baking competition is best friends with matchmaker Freya, and Gaby, and is unlucky in love. 

He sort of agrees to let himself be matched so long as he doesn't have to go on dates. 

So Freya and Gaby between them with Poppy start putting potential women in his path. 

Just one teeny tiny thing, one of the best friends appears to have caught feelings for Raff, but has to stay quiet. 

I really loved Raff and Gaby, and seeing their dynamics. 

And once the action moved to Seattle for Christmas, this book steps up another gear.  There is romance, entertaining family dramas, festive fun and a whole lot more. It's just what you want in a Christmassy book and more. 

A pure delight to read, I was loving every single word of this. 

Thank you to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
