Ilythia and Damon meet at a hotel bar where he is staying out of the way of his families business Christmas party. She has come to drink away her disappointment of not being able to get home to Scotland to be with her family for Christmas. The story is well written and held my interest until the end. This is a new Author to me. I received a copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

A great quick read from K.M. Lowe, loving the dynamics of this couple. Both not where they wanted to be at Christmas they are drawn together by some kind of bond. Deciding to spend the holidays together will romance blossom?
Ilythia and Damon bring out the more steamy side of K.M.Lowe and I hope we get more from this couple in the future. Especially if this is the kind if writing they bring out of K.M. Lowe.

A lovely Christmas novella from the fab K.M. Lowe. I've been looking forward to this book and it definitely didn't disappoint, putting me into the Christmas mood even more! I loved the bond between Ilythia and Damon and how their love for each other overcame any obstacles. Really loved the epilogue!

A great festive novella to get you in the Christmas spirit. They say opposites attract and Llythia and Damon were certainly brought up in completely different worlds. After getting stuck in New York at Christmas Thia goes to a bar to drown her sorrows. At exactly the same time Damon tries to do the same as he escapes his work Christmas party. Neither of them were looking for love or a relationship but love works in mysterious ways. A great feel good read.

Ilithia has just had all her Christmas plans to return to her beloved Scotland for the holidays with her family canceled. She stops by the bar where she usually gets a drink after work and meets the quietest man ever, Damon, a son of the Brewster and Sons arch competitor of the company she works for, Forester. From the beginning, they each feel they have met their soul mate. This is so true they each go beyond their normal self: he by asking her to have pizza at his home a block away and she by accepting an invite from a 'stranger.' This turns into an insta-love that was quite good. A great holiday read!

A short Christmas story that gave me all those wonderful sentimental gooey feelings like you get from the Christmas hallmark films. Just what you need to get you into the seasonal spirit. I must admit I'm not a party person and like these characters I'm happy on my own or just with those I love, so I could empathise with both in that way. Two people meeting at a bar, one escaping family, the other sad because they couldn't be with theirs, sparks and instant bonding. I loved the romance and chemistry, the way Damon does his best to give her a special Christmas despite not being whith her family. Sweet and sentimental story with some hotness thrown into the mix, I loved it. Started and finished 24/10/21

I absolutely love Christmas romance reads so when a favourite author of mine releases a Christmas story, it's got to read.
Damon would rather be anywhere else than at a company Christmas party, he is happy by himself, doesn't have time for relationships until he meets an angel at the bar.
Ilythia shouldn't be sat in a bar, she should be on flight home to Scotland but it got cancelled. Now she won't make it home for Christmas, maybe the stranger in the bar can brighten her spirits.
Damon and Ilythia have an instant connection that pulls them both out of their comfort zone, which makes for a brilliantly written, festive and steamy read. I highly recommend.

This was a quick and fun read about two people Ilythia and Damon who meet at a bar while he is escaping having to socialize for work and family and she after her flights back home are cancelled. There is insta love but also wariness on Thia's part as their families are quiet different so Damon has to really show that she is all he needs and how much he loves her and it all leaves me hoping some hot guy will sweep me off my feet just like Thia.

Another cute little romance holiday novella! 🎄♥️
This one focuses around Damon & Thia. Both book editors whose companies are rivals. They meet at Damon’s Christmas business party & hit it off immediately. Although there is resistance towards Thia by Damon’s dad, the two decide they are meant for each other and power through his judgement.
The end shows a glimpse into their life two years later. In this epilogue, they are engaged & welcome a baby on Christmas Day. Baby Eve 👶🏼
Overall, their chemistry is great, there’s a little spice, has a decent plot & a HEA 🤗

A story about love and hope at christmas. Ilythia and Damon are two very different characters, but they're more alike than they even realise. This is a little more on the steamy side compared to what I've written before, but it will warm your soul on a winters evening.
