The blurb:
The perfect Christmas romance for fans of Karen
Swan.
Tilly
Hunter has fabulous friends, her dream job as a make-up artist with a
prestigious opera company and Felix, her kind and caring husband to be. It
looks set to be the most perfect Christmas yet!
But
when a monumental blunder forces her to work closely with new IT director
Marcus Walker, it's not only the roast chestnut stalls on the cobbles of her
beloved Covent Garden that cause sparks to fly…
Super
serious and brooding, Marcus hasn’t got a creative bone in his sharp-suited
body. For technophobe Tilly, it's a match made in hell.
And
yet, when Tilly discovers her fiancé isn’t at all what he seems, it's Marcus
who's there for her with a hot chocolate and a surprisingly strong shoulder to
cry on … He might just be the best Christmas present she’s ever had.
My Opinion:
*Book
provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review*
Covent Garden in the Snow drew me in from the start.
First of all, I love the title and the cover. Secondly, it’s set in Covent
Garden! Thirdly, it follows Tilly Hunter, who is a make-up artist with a
prestigious opera company. I have never really been into operas, but we sang
songs from them before and it’s close to musicals, so it was really interesting
to read all this background information.
Tilly is engaged to Felix. He is very easy-going, but
I just didn’t like him. Anyway, Tilly is kind of forced to work closely with IT
director Marcus Walker. The two of them couldn’t be more different, but that’s
what made the storyline interesting.
She also discovers something about Felix and her
situation with her family is not easy either. There is a lot going on in her
life.
I loved getting insights to the opera and I really
liked the scenes between Tilly and Marcus. Jules Wake has a great eye for
detail and captured the atmosphere around Covent Garden beautifully. The
storyline is cute, full of ups and downs and just perfect for Christmas. I very
cosy and sweet book.
