Christmas in London
A Novel
By Anita Hughes

Anita Hughes’ novels have become the ultimate breezy summer read with seductive locations and swoon-worthy love stories, and her new turn into holiday novels takes her charming stories into the most romantic season. Hughes’ previous novels have been featured in Cosmopolitan, InStyle, Martha Stewart Weddings, PopSugar, and many more with the biggest names in women’s fiction, and her first Christmas novel, Christmas in Paris, quickly turned into a fan favorite. 
Her newest novel, CHRISTMAS IN LONDON (St. Martin’s Griffin; October 3, 2017), is set in magical Christmastime London and revolves around food and love, the perfect recipe for a captivating holiday read.


It’s a week before Christmas and Louisa Graham is working twelve hour shifts at a bakery on Manhattan's Lower East Side. When a young cooking show assistant comes in from the rain and begs to buy all the cinnamon rolls on her tray, she doesn’t know what to do. Louisa is just the baker, and they aren't hers to sell. But the show burned the rolls they were supposed to film that day, so she agrees.
The next morning, Louisa finds out that her cinnamon rolls were a hit, but the host was allergic, and the whole crew is supposed to leave for London that afternoon. They want Louisa to step in for their annual Christmas Eve Dinner TV special at Claridge's. It’s a great opportunity, and Digby Bunting, Louisa’s famous baking idol, will be there. Even if he does seem more interested in her than her food.

And then there’s Kate, the show's beautiful producer. On their first day in London she runs into the skinny boy she jilted at St. Andrew's in Scotland ten years ago. Now he’s a handsome, brilliant mathematician, and newly divorced. Their familiar spark is still there, but so is the scar of how they left things. Kate and Louisa are busy preparing for the show, but old and new flames are complicating their work.

Set during London's most festive time of year and filled with delicious food, CHRISTMAS IN LONDON is about love and friendship, and the season's most important lesson: learning how to ask for and give forgiveness.

Blog Hop Giveaway:Switched by Cassie Mae

Switched by Cassie Mae was a funny and often frustrating read but highly entertaining. Kayla, Wesley, Reagan and Talon were all friends. Reagan and Talon were a couple while Kayla and Wesley, well they've been pining for these two since high school. Told from Kayla's point of view, she, dragging Wesley along hatches a plan to break the happy couple apart. Because as everyone can see Talon is her soulmate while Wesley is Reagan's. Thus starts the funs and the laughs and the musical chairs between the four. Kayla as a character was frustrating initially for me, I have no idea whether its because she was being an evil bestfriend to Reagan or she really was in love with Talon. I could not really hate nor empathize with her at the start. As the story progressed and the romance part began, her sudden self awareness becomes believable. The pace, the tone and style of writing was excellent. I can see that Cassie Mae has developed her own unique voice in the ...

The Emerald Comb by Kathleen McGurl

Old letters and a lost comb, a crumbling old home and family secrets; it seems The Emerald Comb is a typical recipe for a modern day English mystery. Just as anyone fond of English mysteries, I was drawn like a moth to a flame. Katie, obsessed with her lineage, spends a lot of time tracing her ancestors, the St. Clairs much to her husband's disdain. When she steps into Kingsley House, the old residence of the St. Clairs, buried secrets of the family starts to unfold and it all becomes even more muddled for Katie. Who was the owner of the emerald comb? Which part of the family history does it come in?

The Dom Project by Heloise Belleau and Solace Ames

The Dom Project was one exceptionally good book. Engaging, witty, funny and real. A true romance with an element of BDSM  but so everyday life as well. Fantastic writing, great memorable characters and a very unique twist to the friends into lovers trope.  I love how Robin and John are as friends, as would be Dom and picky submissive.  The way they are in the everyday life.  Robin with her almost obsessive way of organizing and how vulnerable she gets when she lets down her walls.  I love John's dorkiness, his laid back attitude and the way he becomes everything Robin needs in the end.  There are a lot of elements going into this book but its all flawlessly put together making the flow of the story great. It has enough of everything for every reader. Highly recommended reading whether you are into the BDSM romantic genre or not. *The ARC for this novel was provided by the publisher and NetGalley in return for an honest review*
