A ​Winter Flame 5 csillagozás

Milly Johnson: A Winter Flame

'Tis the season to be jolly… But can Eve find happiness through the frost…?
Eve has never liked Christmas, especially since her beloved fiancé was killed in action in Afghanistan on Christmas Day. So when her adored elderly aunt dies, the last thing she is expecting is to be left a theme park in her will. And one entirely dedicated to Christmas…

And that's not the only catch. Her aunt's will stipulates that Eve must run the park with a mysterious partner, the exotically named Jacques Glace. Who is this Jacques, and why did Aunt Evelyn name him in her will?

But Eve isn't going to back down from a challenge. She's determined to make a success of Winterworld, no matter what. Can she overcome her dislike of Christmas, and can Jacques melt her frozen heart at last…?

Milly Johnson: A Winter Flame

nem volt olyan rossz, bár az írónőtől valahogy sokkal jobb sztorira számítottam, egyszeri téli olvasmánynak kellemes, de nem vagyok tőle elájulva.

Kedves karácsonyi történet volt, nagyjából azt hozta, amit vártam az írónő korábbi könyvei alapján, bár ez kiszámíthatóbb volt a többinél. Bővebben itt: http://konyv-sarok.blogspot.hu/2016/01/a-winter-flame.html

Imádnivaló! Romantikus, de nem csöpögős, karácsonyi, de nem undorítóan giccses hanem bájosan ünnepi, néhol vicces, de nem erőltetett, néhol szomorkás, de akkor is gyönyörű. Minden kis részlet a helyén van benne, és mindent láttam magam előtt részletesen olvasás közben, az egész Winterworld-ot rénszarvasostul, az utolsó fagyöngyig, mintha egy Schneekugelben olvasnék :) Ha valahol élnem kéne és az nem az itt és most, akkor azt szeretném ha Milly Johnson fejében lenne. (Oké ez relatíve morbidnak hangzik, de aki élte már bele magát könyvbe, tudja miről beszélek)

Not many of the parents were smiling much, having paid out forty pounds per head for the 'Lapland Experience'. Well, if this anything like Lapland, no wonder Santa disappeared for 364 days of the year; he was probably in therapy.
