and anti-Christmas Anthony is the exact opposite of too-quick-to-jump-into-a-relationship and heavily-sentimental Rachel, so you\u2019d expect sparks to fly when they meet. \u00a0The dialogue is witty and quite funny, especially Anthony\u2019s comebacks to Rachel\u2019s teasing. \u00a0Anthony is very much married to his work, and resistant to the thought that he\u2019s missing out on anything.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\u201cHappiness can be found in lots of places. \u00a0Good food, a nice pint, a night out with the lads, solving a crime, sex.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Rachel, of course, finds herself falling for him, but is initially resistant due to the investigation, and then later due to not wanting to get hurt when Anthony inevitably leaves. \u00a0Of course, after a bit of Christmas magic, burst water tanks, mistletoe, and fairy lights, I\u2019m sure you can guess what happens!<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>The plot meanders quite a bit, especially after the major non-romance plot line is resolved. \u00a0The ending also was quite abrupt, though, in hindsight, I\u2019m not sure how else I would\u2019ve expected the book to end. \u00a0I also feel like there were a lot of hints dropped around Anthony\u2019s family background that were never resolved. \u00a0I\u2019m not sure if this is intended to be the first in the series or not, but I would be interested in reading more about Anthony and Rachel trying to make a relationship work. \u00a0The ending had much more of a happily-ever-after-for-now feel then a regular romance HEA.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>Overall, a fluffy and adorable Christmas read. \u00a0Perfect if you\u2019re looking for a comfy, relaxing bit of Christmas magic.<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"border-top-left-radius: 2px; border-top-right-radius: 2px; border-bottom-right-radius: 2px; border-bottom-left-radius: 2px;
