One New York Christmas
Mandy Baggot
Rating: 5 stars
Will this Christmas romance be just for the holidays?
A fun, festive romantic comedy to curl up with this winter. If you love Josie Silver's One Day in December, you'll love Mandy Baggot's heart-melting love story.
Lara Weeks is heading for 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...

What a perfect winter novel to cosy up with. It will make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside by the time you've finished this fantastic new novel by Mandy Baggot. As soon as I knew that Mandy was bringing out a new Christmas novel, I jumped at the chance to read it because I have loved every single one of her other novels. This one was definitely no different. This cover is definitely one of my favourites of Mandy's. It just looks so sparkly and gorgeous! It's definitely got a festive feel to it and it completely draws you in. I couldn't wait to read it as soon as I saw this cover! Set in New York, this novel focuses on Lara who has escaped to the City That Never Sleeps with best friend Susie to get away from what's happening in her life at home back in Appleshaw.
One thing I love about Mandy's novels is that we always get to see both sides of the story. This time we get to read about Lara, who as mentioned above, is from a little village in England - and that village is all she's known for her whole life. She's never travelled, and she thought she had it good with boyfriend of two years Dan, that is until he says he wants a break from their relationship. On the other side is Seth, an actor trying to get his big break and also trying to find his birth mum (or mom). The two collide when Susie and Lara drunkenly message him on Twitter one night, they decide to meet up in New York to make Dan jealous and the attraction is obvious right from the beginning.
I really liked Lara and her no-nonsense attitude, she was a really refreshing character and I enjoyed reading about her and Seth's relationship. I also loved reading about New York around Christmas time and it's definitely made me want to book up and go! Mandy has a gift of making you feel as though you're right there with the characters, feeling what they're feeling and doing what they're doing. This book was simply magical and Mandy Baggot at her finest. I loved every page. I was just sad when I finished it! Thank you to the publisher for a chance to read this novel, which I have reviewed honestly.
