One Week 'Til Christmas by Belinda Missen

From Goodreads

Two people. One chance meeting. Seven days to Christmas.

Isobel Bennett is waiting for the number 11 bus when a man quite literally falls into her lap. Snow is falling, Christmas lights are twinkling, and a gorgeous man with dark brown hair has just slipped on ice and is now pressed against Isobel.

Isobel knows she’s not imagining the chemistry between them. But then his ride arrives and, embarrassed, he beats a hasty retreat, murmuring apologies – and Isobel realises only too late that she didn’t manage to catch his name…

When she runs into him again the next morning, she decides it’s fate.

It’s a second chance for Isobel and Tom – but there’s only one week until she’s leaving London for good. Seven days of enjoying all the festive delights the city has to offer: ice-skating at Somerset House, mulled wine on the Southbank, Christmas shopping at Liberty.

There’s magic in the air and mistletoe in the trees – but what will happen when the week is over?

For fans of Josie Silver, Lucy Diamond and Marian Keyes, this is one Christmas romance that you won't want to miss!

My thoughts

My thanks to the Publishers via NetGalley for the opportunity to read this in exchange for an honest review. I gave this a 4 stars or 8/10.

This is a quick read at less than 200 pages. It's the perfect read for grabbing and sitting by a nice warm fire with a glass of something or a nice milky coffee or hot chocolate. It will get you in the mood for Christmas.

When a chance meeting between two people from two different continents, creates that instant attraction that causes sparks to fly initially, but fate has other plans for you. Then you bump into them again and you realise that you must take the opportunity to get to know them as perhaps your destiny is going to be intertwined with them.

Isobel and Tom are those two people and as they only have a week to develop that relationship, join them on this journey set at the most special  time of year for most of us.

Why not grab a copy of this story for yourself and immerse yourself in their lives as they get to know one another.

I enjoyed this seasonal read. It's the first story that I've read by this Author and whilst it's set over a week in time, it was a well paced romance that in no way seemed rushed. Life can be like that, you can meet someone and feel an instant attraction to them.
