Revell’s latest addition to her wide repertoire is an utterly charming quick holiday read with all the right Bridget Jones goofiness romance readers love, minus the naughtiness. When the acting mayor of a small English town does a suspicious reverse on the beloved traditional community Christmas ball, aided by the torching of the venue, it’s up to event organizer Tilly Sullivan to sort things out.

A storm causes havoc throughout the town and Tilly needs to stay at the estate. Leo softens under her influence and change is inevitable. No spoilers. This sweet romance will brighten any se
