The Magic of Christmas by Alyssa Montgomery was my first read by this author. But I can tell you it won’t be my last. Rich and gorgeous, Jack, hates everything Christmas. I am talking Christmas trees make him physically ill. His troubled past at Christmastime is to thank for that so he usually takes an exotic trip to get as far away from the mistletoe and twinkling lights as he can. Except this year, his trip is cancelled, and he is stuck in London. When Jack returns home early and hears his cleaning lady playing the piano, enter sweet and strong-willed Grace. Although not his usual "type", Jack is drawn to her and the beautiful music she is playing on his piano. I cannot say enough good things about this book. It may seem like a typical "Billionaire" romance story BUT I am here to tell you it is much more! The plot was perfect and reminded me a little of Cinderella. Which is not a bad thing. To be honest, I read it in one night because I couldn't put it down. The author, Alyssa, does a wonderful job at intertwining the lives of the characters and making them both realistic and likable. She describes the settings and characters wonderfully. I just know in my mind Jack is super-HOT! and the book cover helps :-) I especially loved the ending when the story went almost a year in the future. I will say I would have liked to know a bit more about the months in between and have her further explain how the characters grew or even a few more interactions with each other. Maybe splitting the time jump in a 6-month interval for more context? Just a thought. All and all I would check this book out as soon as you can. Trust me.... you need Jack and Grace, at Christmastime, in your life! Check out the publisher’s website below to buy this one.
