Snow Place Like Home

by Portia MacIntosh

When Dani's boyfriend (and boss!) dumps her for a younger model, the only silver lining she can see is to be able to spend Christmas at home with her family after years away.

Determined to surprise them, Dani turns up unannounced in her hometown, excited to see that the festive season in Marram Bay is in full swing with Christmas lights twinkling on every corner. But disaster strikes when she finds her parents' house is empty and they appear to have gone away on holiday!

Christmas alone and single is not ideal, and when Dani starts bumping into old friends, neighbours and potential love interests, she can't face telling them the truth. So in a panic she claims to be home to throw a Christmas party for the whole town - easier said than done with 12 days to go before Christmas...

As the fake party approaches, little does Dani know that there may be someone there under the mistletoe for her, if she can just let her guard down and see them...

A laugh-out-loud festive romantic comedy from top 10 bestseller Portia MacIntosh, guaranteed to put a smile on your face this Christmas.

Please note Single All The Way was originally released as a novella. This new edition is inspired by the original but is a full-length story with a brand new plot and ending.

Quirky but cute!

[Diane · Rating 3 out of 5]

A tale of two halves for me. The first half of the story really captured my attention. Dani’s fake relationship with Rex was entertaining and the development of an unlikely relationship between the two was heartwarming but somewhere along the line the plot went off the boil.

Rex’s character didn’t really develop and Dani’s conversion from a jilted girlfriend no-one noticed, to Rex’s love interest all seemed too quick. I know this is meant to be a light hearted, fun, story but a little more character development could really have elevated the story.

I like the author, having read several of her novels but this one didn’t quite hit the mark for me, which was made more disappointing because the start had been so promising.

This is the final installment in the series and I think it’s so similar to the second book that in a year I might not remember the difference. Still though I appreciate the series because the books were cute and Christmasy. I liked how the love interest doesn’t seem super forced and never ends up being “the boy next door”.

This was cute and fun. Probably about a 3.5 stars, closed door romance without too much angst.

Light and entertaining. I've listened to a lot of audiobook versions of Portia MacIntosh's books and they're always good "reads."

[Leandra Holmes · Rating 4 out of 5]

Portia’s books are really good for being short reads. They are good palette cleansers after reading one of my dark smutty books or a series. A holiday romance between coworkers that wasn’t intended on be romantic with each other at all. Portia and Rex were supposed to be just two coworkers fake dating to make others jealous. Some time spent together getting to know each other to make it believable formed a connection that neither of them expected.
