[ARC] Book Review #26: ‘Just for December’

Note: A big thanks to NetGalley and the author, Laura Jane Williams, for providing me with a copy of Just for December in exchange for an honest review.

Name: Just for December

Author: Laura Jane Williams

Genre: Modern Romance

Synopsis

Evie Bird is a romance writer whose latest bestseller is being made into a Christmas movie.
Duke Carlisle is a world-famous actor who has landed the role of leading man.

When Evie and Duke meet on set, it’s a frosty encounter – even icier than the cobbled Bavarian streets they’re filming on.
 
But after images of them arguing leak to the press and put the movie in jeopardy, they are left with no choice but to fake date until the cameras stop rolling.
 
As the pair start to put their differences aside, their feelings gradually begin to thaw… But can sparks ever really fly in a snowstorm?

My Review

I highly recommend this book. As someone who has enjoyed the author’s work in the past, I was particularly impressed by the character of Evie Bird. She is relatable and handles her fears and challenges in a way that made me feel like I understood her and myself better. However, I did not like her judgmental attitude in the beginning. But, she redeemed herself as the story progressed. Duke Carlisle is charming and good-looking, with huge patience, especially towards Evie. This book was already one of my favourites this year, and it’s a must-read for the holiday season. Reading this book was a fun and enjoyable escape to a film set, but it also provided me with some valuable life lessons. Whether you’re looking for some holiday romance or just a great story, I can assure you that you won’t be disappointed if you give this book a chance.

My Rating

Rating: 3 out of 5.
