Meet Evie and Noah. Two strangers brought together under the magic Christmas lights on Fifth Avenue. Evie is trying to recover from the shock of being the target of a viral video all over the Internet. Therefore, the invitation of spending time in NYC sent by a PR company looked like the perfect escape from all the hard time she experienced before. On the other hand, Noah Sanderson is a disgraced football star who may try to uplift his career with...a fake date.
And the rest is history...
Christmas on Fifth Avenue by bestselling author Julie Caplin is a lovely book of home and romance...a lot of unexpected romance in fact. Atmospheric, it recreates the local ambiance familiar to anyone who ever visited NYC during the winter time, in order to allow her characters to move at ease. In this real world, the magic happens in a most natural way. The feelings and reactions of the characters seem to be in sync with the festive ambiance which gives the book an air of a fairy tale.
The characters are very easy to understand and accept - even as friends in real life -, particularly Evie, so fragile and with a delicate heart. They do have a certain way of learning how to deal with their own mistakes and re-build their lives out of it.
Christimas on Fifth Avenue is a cosy and funny read that may feel your life with hope and warmth. It also may give you inspiration if you are dealing with loss and grief,
The book is the first in the series of Christmas Escapes, but probably can be also read as a stand alone, exactly like in the case of Caplin´s previous series Romantic Escapes.
Rating: 5 stars
