I was in between books and wanted to read a sweet book when I came upon Christmas at Hollaway Castle: A feel good holiday mix-up with plenty of sparkle! (A Sweet Romance Novella Book 1) by Rimmy London on the Kindle Unlimited Library.
The blurb:
Being forced to work over Christmas was bad enough, but when Tori is introduced as the wrong person at a company event, things really get mixed up!
A subtle Billionaire Story. Victoria (Tori) is the most sought out event planner at Avalon, but when a new boss tries to control her every move she ends up in another country for a business trip during her favorite week of the year. But Christmas might not be ruined, especially when she ends up at a fairytale castle – and especially when she meets Mr. Kent (Oliver). Her holiday is beginning to look bright. It’s only when she’s introduced as the wrong person that the mix-ups really begin. Tori is left trying to find the right time to tell the truth, but the longer she lives a lie, the harder it gets. And in the end, she runs. But Oliver is determined to find her. Amidst holiday bustle, he races through airports and down snowy streets to try and catch her before she’s gone for good.
This sweet holiday read will have you holding your cup of cocoa a little tighter and stretching the night out a little longer just to finish every scrumptious page. The perfect start to your Christmas season!
The story:
Victoria (Tori) has worked at the event company, Avalon since she was fifteen and now is the most sought after event planner in town and handles the top clients. Now, the merger has brought together Avalon with the Kent Company and the new owner is Ms Ava Randall Cullens is the new owner.
Christmas is her favourite holiday and every year, Tori looks forward to Christmas at Avalon and this year is no different. Moreover, her parents need her more than ever this year.
But Ms Ava wants her to attend a summit at a castle in London to celebrate the merger as she cannot attend it and there is no one but Tori she can send. She does not want to go leaving her parents but she does not want to give Ms Ava a chance. And also she knows that the money she would receive would help her pay her mother’s medical bills.
And at the summit there is a confusion, she meets Oliver, everybody thinks that she is Ms Ava and this continues till Ms Ava appears.
My take:
This book reminded me of the sweet simple romances that we used to read in the nineties from the libraries from books dating back to the sixties and seventies.
The characters are so simple, so real that I could actually relate to them.
The plat has twists and turns and gets entangled as the story moves on and on but all’s well that ends well.
A quick read, it is a feel-good book and I recommend it to everyone.
Looking forward to read more from the author.
