Through flourishing new business, Urban Genie, Eva is sent to the home of a clients grandson, famous author Lucas Blade, to decorate and prepare his home for Christmas whilst he is away on a writing retreat. Eva loves Christmas. A time full of magic and memories, but also one that is difficult for her since the loss of her Grandma.
Lucas Blade hates Christmas. He has hidden himself away in the run up to the festivities to write his new novel. Three years ago he lost his wife in an accident and his life hasn't been the same since, but all is not as it seems.
Will Eva and Lucas get a little more than they bargained for from Santa this year?
This is the third instalment in the From Manhattan with Love series, and I have to say it was my favourite so far. Eva is a delightful character to read. Full of optimism and love she bounces off the pages. Lucas with his brooding dark looks and his injured soul is the ideal leading man.
The writing is so compelling I flew through the pages, reading until the early hours just to finish.
