Maggie Field was looking forward to a solo Christmas in her cosy London flat – before her three workmates decided to liven things up for her.
Maggie loves her job as head of IT at a financial firm, and her three geeky but lovable work buddies. And when they invite her to stay with each of them for the holidays, she can’t resist the chance to get to know them better.
But then her boss tells her she has to make one of her beloved team redundant, and Maggie is distraught. Frank’s work is his world, Jasper’s sarcastic humour is everything, and Leo…well, he’s talented, professional, confusingly attractive, dependable, and funny… Maggie definitely doesn’t want to lose him.
With her career and her heart on the line, Maggie sets off on the Christmas adventure of a lifetime, from playing fake girlfriend at a lavish wedding, to rescuing baby foxes on a posh country estate, to chasing a very confused donkey on Christmas Day in the Lake District. She can’t ignore the sparks between her and Leo – but she also can’t avoid her dilemma.
Can she find a way to keep her work family together, and maybe even find true love under the mistletoe?
About The Author
My Review
This is a heartwarming Christmas romcom centered on Maggie, an IT supervisor who has worked closely with her three colleagues—Frank, Jasper, and Leo—for the past four years. The four have grown into a tight-knit group, almost like family. When the guys discover that Maggie will be spending Christmas alone, they make it their mission to ensure she isn’t. Maggie ends up spending time with each of them and their families, deepening her connection with all three men.
However, Maggie faces a difficult dilemma just before the holidays: HR informs her that she must choose one person from her team to be made redundant in the new year. As she spends the holidays enjoying the company of her colleagues and their families, this tough decision weighs heavily on her mind.
The story beautifully balances humor, warmth, and the strong bonds of friendship, with plenty of amusing moments that highlight the dynamics between Maggie and the men. A twist at the end helps preserve their closeness, while her budding romance with Leo adds a sweet touch to the tale. Full of festive cheer, it’s a feel-good read that’s perfect for the holiday season, even if the plot feels predictable at times. The book’s sense of family, friendship, and holiday magic makes it a delightful and charming read.
