Jayme's Reviews > A Winter Wish

Lexie was shocked to discover that she had inherited half of her father’s holiday travel company, R & L Travel -See the World through Celebration!

After all, they have hardly spoken over the last 10 years.

It is a successful niche business specializing in trips that explore the holiday traditions of cultures all over the world-something they used to do as a family each Christmas-until he left and started a new family with another woman.

The other half of the company has been left to Theo-her father’s good looking young executive. The will stipulates that the two of them must find a way to run the company together for a year AND turn a profit, before deciding whether or not to sell.

He wants to keep it. She wants to sell.

Can he change her mind in time?

I always look forward to Emily Stone’s holiday romances, but this wasn’t a favorite-Perhaps it is because the ENEMIES to LOVERS trope is a hard sell for me.

How does a person almost instantly fall in love with someone who is self admittedly usually acting like a petulant child? It’s NOT an attractive quality.

This isn’t a bad story BUT although the travel company idea sounds wonderful, and Lexie shows some personal growth by the end of the book-this just didn’t quite work as a romance for me!

The journey/anticipation wasn’t all that entertaining, I didn’t “FEEL” any chemistry between Lexie and Theo, and I WASN’T rooting for them to get together as a couple which are three MUSTS in any romance novel.

But, I am still a fan of the authors work, and will look forward to whatever she pens next!

And, what a gorgeous cover!

A buddy read with DeAnn. Be sure to watch for her review and to see if she offers a different perspective!
