Two people. One chance meeting. Seven days to Christmas.
Isobel Bennett is waiting for the number 11 bus when a man quite literally falls into her lap. Snow is falling, Christmas lights are twinkling, and a gorgeous man with dark brown hair has just slipped on ice and is now pressed against Isobel.
Isobel knows she’s not imagining the chemistry between them. But then his ride arrives and, embarrassed, he beats a hasty retreat, murmuring apologies – and Isobel realises only too late that she didn’t manage to catch his name…
When she runs into him again the next morning, she decides it’s fate.
It’s a second chance for Isobel and Tom – but there’s only one week until she’s leaving London for good. Seven days of enjoying all the festive delights the city has to offer: ice-skating at Somerset House, mulled wine on the Southbank, Christmas shopping at Liberty.
There’s magic in the air and mistletoe in the trees – but what will happen when the week is over?
It seemed rather fitting that as there really is only a week to go until Christmas to be reviewing One Week Til Christmas today...
.. and given the way its written you really could read it day by day until the big day if you wished but frankly I'd recommend reading it in one go.
What a simply charming and festive romance, from the first meeting between Isobel and Tom, which is rather memorable, to them meeting again and learning each others names, to just how they have spent a week in London.
If you are wanting a guided tour through some of London's best love festive occasions and events then this is certainly worth a read. As a Londoner I loved seeing the touristy side to my city, and was delighted to even note that the tube journeys and time to cross London underground, were pretty much spot on, which just adds to the authenticity of the setting.
I loved the interactions between Isobel and Tom the whole time, and found myself whizzing through the pages eager to spend more and more time with our leads.
An incredibly charming novella that had me smiling, giggling, despairing at times and hopeful for the HEA that I was craving. This is only the second book I've read by this author and its clear how much her writing and story development has improved, as I loved every second of this book.
Thank you to HQ Digital and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
