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 back in 2009 as I wanted a place to discuss books and writing - two loves of my life. As someone who has anxiety, these two things give me, and I am sure countless others, a much needed escape.
There is a monthly book club, writing exercises, prompts, reviews, author interviews, competitions and guest posts. I cover many genres and I hope there is something for everyone.
I grew up by the sea in Dorset and currently live in Poole with my husband, Chris and three cats. I love writing and have a BA (Hons) in Creative Writing from Falmouth University. I am writing my first book. If only I could stop pressing delete. Chris has threatened to stop it from working. Haha.
I have always loved creative writing since I was in first school and would very much like to meet my teacher, Miss Sayers, to say thank you for all the encouragement she gave me then.
When not writing, I love reading, cats, Disney, singing (I can't sing but this doesn't stop me,) and falling into a good TV show or film. If I could step into any fictional world, it would be amongst the characters in ABC's Once Upon a Time.
I love reading many genres and discovering new authors.
