At long last, her life has taken a turn for the better. Particularly because, for the very first time, she’s made some wonderful friends–fellow nurses Sylvia, Freda and Veronica.

My Lucky Night by Olivia Spring #Review #MyTenYearCrushBook2

 

Here is a light festive read by Olivia Spring: My Lucky Night. 


Romance Can Happen When You Least Expect It…

She hates Christmas. He’s about to change her mind…

Cassie isn’t a fan of Christmas. After a string of unlucky incidents during the festive season—including getting dumped—this year she decides to spend the day at home. Alone. No men. No complications.

But then her nightmare boss demands she track down this year’s most coveted Christmas gift—and the only person who can help is an annoyingly sexy Frenchman she’s just met.

Nicolas might look hot, but Cassie can tell he’s also arrogant, irritating and in love with himself. Exactly the kind of guy she hates. Plus, he’ll only help her find the gift if she helps him with something in return...

Could Cassie’s festive fortunes finally be about to change? Can she learn to love Christmas again? And will Cassie get lucky in more ways than one?

Set against a gorgeous London backdrop with sparkling lights, Christmas markets and mistletoe, My Lucky Night is a fun, sexy enemies-to-lovers romcom novella that will give you all the feels! Ideal for fans of Sophie Kinsella and Mhairi McFarlane.

Read as a standalone novella or as book two in the My Ten-Year Crush series.


 My Thoughts

This is a fun read with a feeling of the fairy tale about it, which is so appropriate for this time of year. Cassie hates everything about Christmas so there is some humour to be found from her time with Nicolas when she finds herself helping him through a list of must-do festive experiences. It is quite hard to get a handle on Nicolas' character at first, but you do have the feeling that Cassie's first impressions might be off the mark.

    You soon realise that there is plenty of chemistry between Cassie and Nicolas. Will he turn out to be the stereotypical Frenchman she imagines him to be though? I get the impression that the end of this novella is not the end of their story. Cassie has spent her time pandering to the selfishness of her boss. By the end of the story, she has re-evaluated her wants and needs. London sparkles in the December air and provides a great backdrop to this gentle festive romance.

In short: Love is in the air...
