Welcome to New York, where the Christmas lights dazzle, the snow is falling and love is just around the corner…

❄️❄️❄️❄️

Evie Green's Christmas dream turns into a nightmare when a viral video makes her the laughing stock of the internet. But then a 5 star hotel sees a PR opportunity and invites her to New York for a Christmas she’ll remember forever.

Enter Noah Sanderson, a disgraced soccer star seeking anonymity. Forced to fake a festive romance for the cameras, sparks fly – but not the twinkling Christmas kind!

As Fifth Avenue sparkles in all its holiday glory, can The City that Never Sleeps show these two frosted hearts that, maybe, the best love stories are the ones you never see coming.

Don't miss this cozy Christmas spin off series from the million-copy-bestselling author of the Romantic Escapes series! Each book can be read as a standalone.

Dear Santa

I have been a very good girl this year, and have just finished reading this most amazingly fabulously festive book, that has inspired me to realise what I really want this year, is to spend Christmas in New York. 

If at all possible I would love to stay at the Plaza like Evie and Noah do, and to be able to experience so many off their Christmas movie moments, that they were able to recreate.  As I'm also a massive fan of a festive film, and there are so many iconic scenes in this book. 

And if you could conjure me up a Premiership footballer to spend my time with too, that would be even better.  For that's what Noah is (well he needs to rehabilitate his image), and a fake dating even just for the cameras scenario is one I could totally get on board with. 

I would absolutely love to meet the wonderful team at the hotel who go the extra mile to ensure their guests have a great time, and end up feeling like part of the family.

I would love to visit the Christmas all year around shops,  in addition to the iconic Tiffany's.  Seeing the pair of them shop in Christmas markets, recreate that scene from Big in FAO Schwarz and a whole lot more was just a joy and things I would love to experience for myself.  

This would be the most amazing present for this romance and  Julie Caplin adoring bookworm!  I am in awe at how much detail there is, the delicious sounding foods, and how alive New York felt as though its a character itself. 

As much as I love armchair travel and pure escapism Santa, which this book has in spades, experiencing it in real life really would be a dream come true. 

So please prove you are real, and have elves just like the one Evie becomes in one of her experiences, and get me onto a plane to New York (or a sleigh ride over there would be fabulous too with the reindeer!). 

One last small request Santa, if you could ensure that everyone has a copy of Christmas in Fifth Avenue in their stockings this year that would be amazing, as this is such a wonderful Christmas romance, that would help bring smiles to loads more people and not just me.  

Thanks so much, your true believer

Rachel!
