One Week With You (London Lovers #1) by J R Jenner

ABOUT THE BOOK

Losing her job and boyfriend weeks before Christmas leaves Talia feeling more bah humbug than filled with festive spirit. The last thing she needs is Christmas with her chaotic family and Rafe Scott, her brother’s grumpy best friend and long-term star of her hottest fantasies.

Her heart’s deepest desire if she’s honest with herself.

But when Rafe comes along with an offer she can’t refuse—use of his family’s cottage in Scotland in exchange for a date to his company’s holiday party—Talia gratefully accepts. A quiet, wintry escape sounds like heaven and a few hours in Rafe’s company couldn’t hurt.

Until it does.

Fleeing to her Scottish Highland retreat, Talia’s longed-for peace doesn’t last long when a bitter storm brings snow and the one man she desperately wants but cannot have. Now snowed in together for the holiday season, will their simmering attraction keep them warm or will they both get burned?

One Week With You is a steamy contemporary holiday novella containing strong language and sexual scenes.

MY REVIEW

Crushes from afar are becoming a big favorite of mine and I love Talia and Rafe’s story.

After losing her job and her boyfriend, Talia is not feeling very festive for the holidays. So when her brother’s grumpy best friend Rafe offers to use his family’s cottage in Scotland in exchange for a date to his company’s holiday party, she accepts with reservations. After all, she’s only been attracted to Rafe for several years. But then a winter storm strands Talia and Rafe in a cozy cabin for the holiday season. It’s only a matter of time until they give in to the temptation, but what will happen after the holidays?

The chemistry between Rafe and Talis is electric and not over the top. There are also several places where I laughed out loud. Rafe doesn’t smile a lot, but Talia cures him of that with her quick wit and her love of everything Christmas. Rafe is very kind and devoted to Talia. Being a regular guest at Talia’s house over the years certainly attests to how much her family loves him.

This didn’t read like a novella where the plot moves along too quickly. The book is well-written with compelling characters and a fun holiday theme.

One Week With You is a steamy contemporary romance that is sure to get your heart racing. It’s the perfect way to get into the holiday spirit.

Thank you to Ms. Jenner for giving me the opportunity to read this book with no expectation of a positive review.
