Christmas Fling

LoveReading Says

A visit to her new flat leads Laura to an awkward meeting with her new landlord Callum, and even more awkwardly playing the role of his imaginary girlfriend when Callum’s parents invite them to Scotland for Christmas. This “meet-not-so-cute” leads to a proposal rife with possibility and pitfalls - Laura will pretend to be Callum’s imaginary girlfriend Caroline, and be so insufferable his family won’t want her back. With both Callum and Laura on their own separate paths in life (Callum to be a pastry Chef in Paris, Laura busy training to be a neurosurgeon), what they aren’t counting on is their scorching chemistry.

Sweet as Sticky Toffee Pudding, this charming Christmas romance whisks us away on a sleeper train to the Scottish Highlands with breath-taking views, cosy pubs and plenty of roaring open fires. I was cringing, laughing out loud and kicking my feet in equal measure as Laura and Callum’s ruse takes some wildly unexpected turns in attempts to avoid going completely off the rails. I savoured every delicious heart-warming moment when Callum and Laura got closer. I loved the vibrancy brought to the story by Laura’s best friends, Desi and Joel, and heart and complexity added by the McClay’s family tensions. Christmas Fling feels like a Christmas rom-com classic that will pair perfectly with a hot chocolate and mince pie.
