Mattie’s Christmas Wish
Here we have book 12 of The Parker’s 12 Days of Christmas by Ali Parker, Blythe Reid, Weston Parker and Zoey Reid. I have now read them all and I can honestly say that I do not have a favourite simply because they are all so great and each has it’s own special place within this Christmas Series but I have loved them all. I think that these four authors have penned one of the most special Christmas Series that I have ever read. I’ve laughed, cried, smiles, swooned and had to turn on the fan for every book! Their writing styles are so wonderfully blended together and have flowed so well that they capture your imagination at page 1 and keep you riveted to the book right to the very end. They are fast paced with essential details that make the characters seem to ‘leap’ off the pages as they are so life like and relatable. The witty dialogue helps to make the stories come alive and I felt compelled to carry on to find out if there was going to be a HEA. In this book we meet twins Tyler and his sister Rebecca who have inherited their dad’s family event business which Rebecca loves. Tyler, however, has inherited their mum’s love of the outdoors and he does his best to keep this a secret. He volunteers to get a Christmas tree for them and he ends up at Mattie’s Christmas Tree business on the family farm which her grandpa started. Times are hard for her and she is desperately trying to keep the business afloat and the farm staying in the family. When Tyler and Mattie meet they are both struck by cupid’s arrow and are in instant lust which neither had experienced before. Mattie has some trust issues and doesn’t know whether she can trust Tyler when he proposes a possible solution to keeping her business. Is Tyler for real and has genuine feelings for her or is he just looking for a one night stand. Only time will tell. I loved the dialogue between the two of them. It was fun to read these two very likeable people fall in love and the chemistry between them was like fireworks going off on Halloween. With terrific friends to assist in their love story and they emotions for one another deepening as time passes, let’s hope all goes to plan and they get their HEA. Whilst I loved Tyler and Mattie were obviously so great for each other, her friends were also important in this tale to make it all that more special. It’s a fun read with fabulous characters and a brilliant ending. This can be read as a standalone or as part of the series. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and hope that you will try it too. Enjoy!
