Title: The Kiss Before Christmas
By Sophie Pembroke
The Gist:
Dory is broken-hearted that she will not be able to
visit her family in England, keeping up the façade that she is doing
wonderfully in New York. When her
boss, the high-powered Tyler Alexander, offers the solution of helping him out
of a tricky family situation by pretending to be his girlfriend for Christmas
in exchange for a round-trip ticket home for New Years, she jumps at the
chance. Little does she know that
at the Alexander estate, she will meet condescending suspicious parents, and
Tyler’s brother, Lucas, who is not anything like his family.
Trying to keep up the act that she is with Tyler while
battling an instant connection with Lucas keeps the holiday interesting, but at
this time of the year there’s bound to be mistletoe, and, if she’s lucky maybe
Dory will get a Kiss Before Christmas!
What I thought:
What a wonderful story! I’m always a bit hesitant about novellas, I think that it is
often hard for authors to produce a high quality, full story in just a few
pages, but Miss Pembroke did an amazing job! I did not want to put this book down for a second!
I loved Dory, and how wonderfully she handled
herself with the illustrious Alexander family in all of their snobbery. I also appreciated how she did not
hesitate to put her boss in his place, and followed her conscience, and heart,
even when difficult ultimatums were placed on the table.
If you
love a good Hallmark Christmas movie, and are looking for a quick read that
will warm you up as deliciously as a cup of hot cocoa, give The Kiss BeforeChristmas a try!
