Twelve Days To Christmas by Michelle Gorman. 

Here’s the blurb: 

Hannah’s in a bit of a pickle. In twelve days she flies from Hong Kong to the US with Sam, where he’s finally going to meet her parents and ask to marry her.

Since overcoming a rather rocky patch in their relationship (which was totally his fault), he really is a new man, and they’re completely in love. The problem is, she feels panicky every time she contemplates matrimony. Which is perfectly normal, isn’t it? Isn’t it?! She has no idea but she’s got to find out before he pops the question… because she’s not 100% sure she’s going to say yes. Which will make for a very uncomfortable family holiday. He’s got to ask her before they go. So Operation Proposal begins.

As time ticks down to their flight, Hannah realizes that her own secrets are threatening their future. Before she can be happy with Sam, she’s got a lot to learn about herself in the twelve days to Christmas.

This is the third book in the ‘Single in the City’ series by Michele Gorman. I’m new to this series, having only read The Twelve Days to Christmas.’

A book about Christmas, well it had me hooked from the beginning. I wanted to know what happened to all the characters. Yes, this was the third in the series but it stands alone too. There was enough information for me to keep up with the story (but not enough to hold the story up for people who have read the others in the series.) It’s a lovely light hearted (very welcome,) and fun story too.

Hannah is a good heroine, I liked her from the beginning of the book and seems to have real, relatable flaws.  

The pace was good. I was actually a little sad that the book ended. I read it in one sitting and left it with a smile on my face. 

I’m going to go and read the first two books in the series.

If you want something light (it’s a novella,) fun and a nice escape then I recommend this book.

I’m Laura. I started Novel Kicks in 2009. I wanted a place to post my writing as well as give other writers like me the opportunity to do the same. There is also a monthly book club, a writing room which features writing prompts, book reviews, competitions, author interviews and guest posts.

I grew up by the sea (my favourite place in the world) and I currently live in Hampshire. I am married to Chris, have a cat named Buddy and I would love to be a writer. I’m trying to write the novel I’ve talked so much about writing if only I could stop pressing delete. I’ve loved writing since creative writing classes in primary school. I have always wanted to see my teacher Miss Sayers again and thank her for the encouragement. When not trying to write the novel or writing snippets of stories on anything I can get my hands on, I love reading, dancing like a loon and singing to myself very badly. My current obsession is Once Upon a Time and I would be happy to live with magic in the enchanted forest surrounded by all those wonderful stories provided that world also included Harry Potter. I love reading chick lit. contemporary fiction and novels with mystery.
