Never Kiss a Man in a Christmas Jumper by Debbie JohnsonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A charming holiday romance set in Oxford.
Maggie is a single mum to a teenage daughter and owns her own wedding dress business. Aged 34, she is starting to feel a bit superfluous as her daughter spreads her wings and her father has his own busy social life.
The book opens with a bicycle crash in the centre of Oxford between Maggie and an American that she has christened The Hot Papa From The Park and The Man With The Tux based on their two previous meetings. When the American, Marco Cavelli, turns out to have a broken leg as a result of their encounter Maggie is guilted into letting him stay with her until he becomes more mobile.
As the snow settles around the picturesque streets of Oxford and Maggie gets ready to attend three very different weddings in the run up to Christmas she and Marco fall in love.
Definitely a sweet romance, but not sickly sweet, with partying OAPs, drunken teenagers and masses of wedding cake.
Loved it.
