Synopsis

Sophie Young has been dreaming about the perfect Christmas in New York ever since she was a kid. But when her boyfriend bails on their romantic trip for two, she finds herself stranded in the city on Christmas Eve, with only a holiday-hating smooth-talking, utterly sexy stranger for company…

Rock-star Austin Kelly is fed up with Christmas – he’s more interested in who’s going to be cozying up under the mistletoe. But when his little black book comes up empty, he finds himself on a whirlwind tour of the city with the most unlikely partner in festive fun…

The snow is falling, but things are definitely heating up inside. And by the time the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Eve, there will be plenty to celebrate with old friends and familiar faces back in Beachwood Bay.

My Thoughts

All Sophie wants for Christmas is a real New York Christmas with her boyfriend but when he dumps her and leaves her alone what is she to do? She finds herself trying to fend off the advances of Austin who is alone and lonely on Christmas. Little does Sophie know that the guy is none other than the famous rock star Austin Kelly who is surprised and intrigued by Sophie since his charm isn’t working on her, which is a first for him. Sophie refusing to let her ex ruin her Christmas figures why not and enjoy some time with this sexy stranger. They set off for an amazing adventure in New York wandering the streets both just having fun and enjoying the now. Sophie finds herself attracted to Austin but knows he isn’t looking for something serious, while Austin who wasn’t looking for anything serious is seriously falling for her. Miscommunication ensues and both end up feeling hurt and realizing they are missing each other more than they ever imagined. Come a week later and both find themselves at the same New Year’s Eve party but will they allow themselves to fall for each other or will they simply just part and continue to their lives like they never met?

I will say this is one of my favorite recent reads, I loved everything about it. I loved how Sophie didn’t let some sorry guy ruin her Christmas and that she took a chance on Austin. Austin on the other hand had me from the start, I loved that he was confident but not too cocky as they say there is a fine line between the two and he was towing it! Sophie was so different than girls Austin had dealt with in the past and the fact that she didn’t know who he was made her more attractive to him. Plus the fact that she didn’t back down from him really got to him, he’s use to getting what he wants when he wants no excuses. I think both balanced each other so well he gave her confidence and she keeps him grounded. They are definitely one of favorite couples! This book has what it takes for a magical Christmas read: snow, NYC at Christmas time, a great couple and an awesome romance what more can you ask for?
