It’s Novel Nerd!
The book I read last week was called One Wish in Manhatten by Mandy Baggot. It falls into the Chic-lit category.
Somewhere this week, I read that there are a finite number of plot points and most novels fall into those categories. This one is definitely the man who plays the field gets his head turned by one woman who makes him change his ways.
But of course there is so much more to it that that. While this is a holiday story, the festivities are not forced down your throat so this is the perfect year round read. The main character, Hayley, and her daughter Angel visit their brother/ uncle in New York. Since they are from England, they are new to some of the American ways. Hayley is looking for Angel’s birth father whom she hasn’t seen in 10 years. After all it’s Angel’s Christmas wish.
This book is a quick read, and very enjoyable. The characters are believable and intelligent, which makes it a little different from your average romance novel.
One Wish in Manhatten is available on AMAZON in ebook formats. Not available on Google Play at this time.
Release date: Oct 2
Press Summary:
It’s the most wonderful time of the year . . . to fall in love
The temperature is dropping, snow is on its way and Hayley Walker is heading for New York with one wish on her mind…to start over.
With her nine year-old daughter Angel, Hayley is ready for an adventure. From hot chocolates and horse-drawn carriage rides in Central Park, to ice-skating at the Rockefeller Centre, and Christmas shopping on 5th Avenue – they soon fall in love with the city that never sleeps.
But there’s more to New York than the bright twinkly lights and breathtaking skyscrapers. Angel has a Christmas wish of her own – to find her real dad.
While Hayley tries to fufil her daughter’s wish, she crosses paths with billionaire Oliver Drummond. Restless and bored with fast living, there’s something intriguing about him that has Hayley hooked.
Determined to make her daughter’s dream come true, can Hayley dare to think her own dreams might turn into reality – could A New York Christmas turn into a New York Forever?
Travel to the Big Apple this Christmas and join Hayley and Oliver as they both realise that life isn’t just about filling the minutes…it’s about making every moment count.
Until next time,
