Summary

What if the love of your life was your best friend's girlfriend, and you were the one that set them up?

When 30-year-old Nick loses his prestigious job at a city law firm, he is forced to grudgingly accept work as a Santa at a local Christmas grotto.

There he meets five-year-old Alfie, and all Alfie wants for Christmas is for his mum to be happy again. She has been sad ever since his dad died three years ago. Moved by the boy's selfless wish, Nick arranges a date between Alfie's mum, Sarah, and his best friend, Matt.

However, as Sarah and Alfie become an integral part of their lives, Nick soon realises that happiness for Sarah and Matt might mean heartbreak for himself.

A hilarious and heartwarming Christmas romance for fans of Beth O'Leary's The Flatshare and Marian Keyes' Grown Ups.

A sweet story of all love...

I really liked this story and the love in all forms... Friends, family, relationships...
The story and characters were really well developed, which helped in feeling a connection. I really felt for Nick and his situation, but have so much respect for him putting his friendship first.
Brilliant performance by Sam Alexander, great character range!

Feeling festive after listening to this superb romcom. Refreshing to hear the story from a man’s perspective. Would make a great film.
More Joanna please.

Christmas without the cheese!

Really good rom-com of a book. Not too cheesy and very tongue-in-cheek funny! Would definitely recommend

loved this!

I loved this story and the narrator was fantastic. It was very refreshing having a male narrator.
This is a new author to me and I will be looking out for more of her books.

Male narrator plus brilliant story means a different but fabulous listen

Refreshing change from the saccharin sweet romance novels that usually get churned out with Christmas in the title!

The tone of the story suited the narrator, the narrator suited the character and the characters were all well rounded.

Only wish we could have stayed longer in this world with them but having said that all loose ends were tied and black eyes deserved!!!

Well worth a listen!

well written, humourous and not maudlin. how refreshing for a novel in this genre.

I would recommend this as an entertaining and heart warming piece of escapism. would read other books by the author but limited budget prevents at present.
