Book length - 224 pages Publisher - Harper Impulse Book Depository - www.bookdepository.com Amazon UK - www.amazon.co.uk Amazon US - www.amazon.com I want to thank Katherine Garbera and Harper Impulse for providing me with a copy of this book for review through Netgalley.com ABOUT THE BOOK There’s nothing so magical as Christmas in New York… Santa is coming to New York! Snow is falling, excitement is high and the delicious scent of chocolate drifts along Fifth Avenue – the Candied Apple Café is ready for Christmas! And no one is busier than publicist Iona Summerlin. With so much to do, she doesn’t have time to think about men, dating, or the fact her last boyfriend ditched her for her brother… Relationships are off the menu! Hotel boss Mads Eriksson is not looking forward to the first Christmas since losing his wife. His six-year-old daughter Sofia has lost her belief in Christmas magic along with her mother, and he has no idea what to do. But an unusually festive business meeting at the Candied Apple – and meeting the beautiful Iona – starts to defrost Mads’ frozen heart, and suddenly life seems full of light and sparkle again. If only they dare to believe, maybe all their Christmas dreams will come true! MY REVIEW I have been lucky enough to read so many wonderful Christmas novels this winter but CHRISTMAS AT THE CANDIED APPLE CAFÈ by Katherine Garbera has got to be my favourite! With beautiful settings (I really wish a candied apple cafè existed here in Ireland) and engaging characters, I devoured this book within hours even though I never wanted it to end. Iona Summerlin and her best friends have worked really hard to make their exquisite cafè such a success but Iona isn't finished yet. Having lived under the shadow of her successful father who is now gone, Iona pushes herself hard looking for the praise that he could never give her even when he was alive. But the cafè is her baby and it makes her happy. But when sexy Mads Eriksson and his adorable little girl, Sofia, enter her life, Iona begins to realise that maybe there is so much more to life than business. But Mads is caught up in his own troubles as this will be their first Christmas since the death of his wife. He is determined to see his daughter happy this season even if he hates it but the last thing he expected to feel was a connection to a woman who is Christmas personified. As Mads and Iona struggle with what seems to be happening between them, they both agree that Sofia is precious and needs to find the spirit of the holidays. And who knows what magic the festive season may weave on those who need it most ... I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!! Mads and Sofia are so adorable and it broke my heart as we learned what they had been through and were still going through, with their grief. Iona is such a bubbly, caring person but as we see beneath the always-happy facade we get to see her insecurities and a longing for what she wants from her future. With wonderful festive detail and plenty of romance and misunderstandings to keep you hooked from start to finish, CHRISTMAS AT THE CANDIED APPLE CAFÈ by Katherine Garbera is sure to put you in the holiday mood and will warm your heart to the very last line. A stunning Christmas romance that is a must for fiction fans. Author Bio: Katherine Garbera is the USA Today best-selling author of more than 90 books.
