Review: Convent Garden in the Snow

Book Review: Convent Garden in the Snow, by Jules Wake, 4 stars




Tilly Hunter has fabulous friends, her dream job as a make-up artist with a prestigious opera company and Felix, her kind and caring husband to be. It looks set to be the most perfect Christmas yet!

But when a monumental blunder forces her to work closely with new IT director Marcus Walker, it's not only the roast chestnut stalls on the cobbles of her beloved Covent Garden that cause sparks to fly…

Super serious and brooding, Marcus hasn’t got a creative bone in his sharp-suited body. For technophobe Tilly, it's a match made in hell.

And yet, when Tilly discovers her fiancĂ© isn’t at all what he seems, it's Marcus who's there for her with a hot chocolate and a surprisingly strong shoulder to cry on … He might just be the best Christmas present she’s ever had.


Genre: contemporary romance

Publication date: October 2017

Mature content: nothing explicit

Review: I loved reading Convent Garden in the Snow. The characters are great (both the main and the secondary ones) and I especially liked to read about all the backstage activities involved in setting up a show. Most books tend to be about the singers or the dancers, and it was interesting to see things from a different perspective. 

Tilly and Marcus' romantic involvement happens naturally and progressively, and that was also a breath of fresh air.


 


My only concern with the book is that in some places the plot seems to move really slowly. I kept wanting to see more of Marcus and Tilly together but there are so many other scenes in between that I was tempted to skip a few pages to just get where I wanted faster.

Still a great read, and I recommend it!

Happy readings!
