One New York Christmas - Mandy Baggot

Blurb
Lara Weeks is heading to New York with best friend Susie for the Christmas trip of a lifetime.

A festive break in the snowy Big Apple visiting the tourist hotspots, not to mention the shopping, seems like the perfect way for Lara to get over her ex-boyfriend. Or maybe make him so jealous he begs for a second chance.

Enlisting the help of gorgeous actor, Seth Hunt, doesn't quite go to plan, but there's something about him that has Lara wishing for a different kind of happy ever after...

Review

Lara has got on a plane for the first time ever with her best friend Susie to get some much-needed space from her 'we-need-a-break' boyfriend. What better place than New York at Christmastime! Maybe with the help of Seth, a gorgeous actor she will even be able to make him realize what he is missing.

This book is a love story to New York, falling in love, to stepping out of your comfort zone and learning to let new people and experiences in; for Lara, it's not to be content with 'visiting' the world from Twitter but to actually go and do it! Join Lara as Seth shows her the sights of New York and to have the courage to trust, to try new things and open herself up to a whole other world. In turn, Lara encourages Seth to see the silver linings in life not just think the worst. 

Filled with laugh-out-loud moments and a few more poignant ones too, this fabulous cast of characters are easily investable and you'll soon be hooked, turning the pages long after you should have turned the light out to find out exactly how it ends. After all, Lara and Seth seem to bring out the best in each other but is this just a game to make her ex-boyfriend jealous and a good PR stunt for him or have they really fallen for each other? 

Thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Random House UK & Ebury Publishing for sending me this in exchange for an open and honest review.
