#BlogTour: Summer Hates Christmas by Rachel Dove @WriterDove @BooksManatee @Tr4cyF3nt0n #SummerHatesChristmas

Book Synopsis:

Summer Hastings hates Christmas. She loves sunshine, the beach and running her travel agency, sending people off to their dream destinations – even if she doesn’t get to see the world for herself. For Summer, Christmas is nothing but a reminder of all the things that have gone horribly wrong in her life, so when handsome Noel Pritchett moves his pop-up Christmas shop in the store next to hers, Summer is livid.

Noel loves Christmas…and he also has a sneaking suspicion that he might be falling in love with Summer, if only he could break through the armour she has surrounded herself with. Just why does Summer hate Christmas so much? And can Noel be the one to prove to her that life can be sweet all year round?

Summer Hates Christmas is available in ebook now. You can purchase your copy using the link below.

My Review:

I’m a huge fan of Christmas so I really enjoyed this festive, heartwarming read, which will be perfect for curling up with a hot cuppa this winter.

The story follows Summer who hates Christmas with a passion and tries to plot ways to avoid it. When she meets the lovely Noel who has opened up a pop up Christmas shop, the sparks fly as Noel tries to change Summer’s opinion.

Summer was a great main character that I enjoyed following throughout the book. The love/ hate relationship she has with Noel is very interesting and leads to some hilarious moments that had me laughing out loud. The development of their relationship was great fun to watch change and to see how far they had come.

This was a thoroughly absorbing read which I found hard to put down as I was so involved in the story. The author has done a great job in her vivid descriptions which helped me to picture the scene perfectly. There were a few twists which I wasn’t expecting and helped add to my overall enjoyment as everything doesn’t run smoothly.

Huge thanks to Tracy Fenton for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book.
