Sylvie Harding once swore that the only reason she’d ever return to Castleton was to plan her sister’s wedding… And here she is.
After eleven months of planning, the Christmas Eve wedding of her little sister’s dreams is only three weeks away, and professional wedding planner Sylvie is all hands-on deck from the moment she arrives home. Swept up in the magic that is Christmas in her hometown, the only thing that can possibly dampen her spirit is coming face to face with her childhood frenemy.
Thomas, the Duke of Castleton.
The man she spent her childhood feuding with thanks to an errant cricket ball is just as snarky, annoying, and gorgeous as she remembers. Despite running the village tree farm and his mother being the ringleader of all things Christmas in town, the past few years have turned him into a right little scrooge.
When a string of tragedies hit the wedding plans, Sylvie only has one person she can turn Thomas. Not that she has a choice—he has a habit of showing up exactly when she needs him to save the day, and she can’t stand it.
And when the ultimate disaster befalls the wedding just three days before the ceremony, Sylvie doesn’t see how it can go ahead.
But Thomas can.
And it just might be his chance to prove to Sylvie how he truly feels about her—and save Christmas at the same time.
I feel like I say this all the time, but holiday books aren't always my favorites. That said, I really enjoyed this one. I always enjoy this author's titles, but there was something about this one, and I really connected with the characters even more than I usually do with her titles.
Sylvie and Thomas probably shouldn't be perfect for one another, but they are. It just takes them a little longer to figure it out than the people around them, who all know they are perfect together.
I think I love how fully in support of her he was from the beginning, how he sees the issues she is dealing with and takes her side.
There's a pig (don't ask, Sylvie didn't) some family drama, and a wonderful slow burn romance that makes this one perfect for a Christmas read (or any time of the year).
I enjoyed and recommend this title.
