THE VILLAGE CHRISTMAS PARTY

MY THOUGHTS:

Lauren is a planner and runs her life from lists that she keeps.  She is ready for Christmas and the time has come for her to set-up and organize the local charity Christmas party. She wants it to be absolute perfection for the villagers, young and old.  Lauren meets Kian when she finds out that the church is double booked and Lauren is beside herself. Kian booked the church for his daughter’s birthday party.  How could that happen and now what is she going to do.  Time is running out and she has to find an alternate location.  Kian is really laid back and isn’t concerned at all, but they are total opposites.  Lauren is in frantic mode and Kian is completely chilled.  With the attraction between them, the mulled wine isn’t the only thing heating up.  Will this be a Christmas they will never forget or one that they never want to remember?


The Village Christmas Party, written by author Sue Roberts is a lovely story of family, friends old and new and the spirit of Christmas.  This delightful story had the perfect amount of romance and I thoroughly enjoyed the stories of the villagers.  Lauren and Kian had such opposite personalities, that it had me laughing out loud.  He was so chilled out all the time and she was so uptight, it was so funny. Roberts was fantastic at pulling me into the story as I heard the Christmas carols swirling in my head. This is exactly the Christmas escape I needed. I highly recommend this book.

The smell of mulled wine fills the air as the villagers listen to carollers singing. Everyone in town is ready for the big day. But Lauren only has hours to get the community Christmas party back on track…

Thirty-four-year-old 
Lauren has a list for everything, especially Christmas. With her presents bought months in advance, the last thing on her checklist is the charity party she runs every year. It has to be perfect – she has seen how much the event means to the older villagers who would be alone for the holidays otherwise.

Everything is going smoothly as the local church bells ring. Until handsome Kian walks
 in, claiming he has the little village hall booked for his young daughter’s birthday party. Lauren nearly falls off the ladder she is using to hang fairy lights. There’s no way this is happening. Not when she’d triple-checked every detail…

As Lauren frantically tries to find another option, Kian’s insistence that she should just “relax” isn’t helping her stay merry and bright. There’s only one way to make this a festive party to remember. She has to try and work with Kian.

They clash over every detail, but as their helpers arrive, Kian’s kind and welcoming nature soothes Lauren’s shaken nerves. And his gorgeous blue eyes make her wish she’d put the mistletoe out. Until Kian mysteriously disappears…

And Lauren is left alone to keep the excitable children from running into the flaming Christmas pudding the older guests love every year. Will Kian’s chilled approach cool the celebrations? 
Or can Lauren and Kian put aside their differences and save the day once more?
