Hope at Christmas #Review

Hope at Christmas

(Serendipity #1)

by 

Keeley Holmes

With only 25 days left until Christmas day, Hope makes the rash decision to quit her job. After a weekend wallowing in self pity, she takes this new opportunity to finally get the job she’s always wanted...only she doesn’t know what she wants to do... She doesn’t think her life can get any worse.

Until she throws coffee on a stranger.

Having finally told his parents that he planned to never follow his father’s footsteps in business, Daniel’s morning didn’t start out that well either.

Until a woman throws coffee on him.

This chance meeting sets off a chain of events. A wedding. Downton Abbey. The roaring 20’s...and a drunk, sexually frustrated cousin. Neither of them are prepared for this connection, but when does romance ever run a smooth course? With secrets and exes throwing road blocks their way, will it all become too much and end their blossoming romance before it’s even begun?

Hope is down on her luck. Her job wasn’t working out and she made a quick, rash decision to quit. Now December is beginning and she has no job and the bills are still coming. Her mum is on her case immediately and she just wants some support from her bestie. Her best friend runs a coffee shop and although she can’t provide her with a job it’s the perfect cosy place to drown her sorrows. Quitting her job without a plan probably wasn’t her best idea. Hope’s day isn’t going well when she manages to spill coffee down a guy's very expensive shirt. He’s not impressed and expects her to pay her dues.

Daniel is trying to take what he wants, even if it upsets a few people. After meeting Hope he’s determined to have her at his side. He needs someone to lighten his days, but this will be no walk in the park. Hope is stubborn and opinionated. She fights him at every turn but some kisses are worth fighting for. 

This is my first Keeley Holmes book. Another British Author (I’ve decided I’m having a U.K Author December reading marathon. Sorry that was a bit of a mouthful). I purchased this book from Amazon for 99p. I’ve been looking at local book events recently which is how I discovered this author. 

Love the book cover and Hope at Christmas was a good read.
