I adored this author's last holiday romance so I was excited to read this one! It didn't hit that same sweet spot for me but it was still very atmospheric. I just found Fallon a bit over the top in her self-aggrandizing that she missed out on enjoying herself at times but I understand her hesitation. I wish there was a bit more than just party after party but it made sense in a way. Add to your holiday TBR!!
The party sparkled with Christmas magic, even this early in the season, and I looked around with satisfaction at the results of our hard - sometimes gruelling - work over the past few weeks. Although there were some big events still to come for my company, this was the biggest, held in the opulent Dome of the Victoria and Albert Museum and attended by major influencers as well as stars of fashion and TV. Even my mother was there, although of course she had been far too busy being fabulous to spare the time to speak to me, the lowly events organiser. But there was nothing lowly about this event. The space was staggeringly beautiful, with its high ceiling, gallery and marble floor and columns, not to mention the extravagant glass Chihuly chandelier which hung centrally.
