Lauren Layne has quickly become one of my go to authors and I have to say, I absolutely loved An Ex for Christmas!!!
Kelly is a fun loving teacher who is looking forward to Christmas break. Sending her parents on an anniversary trip means that Kelly will be alone this Christmas. Except she does have her neighbor and best friend Mark to enjoy the holidays with.
When Kelly makes it her mission to go thru her ex list and find her one true love, taking Mark along with her for the ride, the relationship between the two best friends becomes strained.
Kelly is looking for the love of her life and Mark is trying to get Kelly to see what is right in front of her face for the last ten years.
An Ex for Christmas was a fun, magical and had me laughing and crying at the same time. It will definitely be a book that I go back and read it all over again!! This is one of the best holiday books I’ve ever read and I hope to see more about Mark and Kelly!
A must read!!
For Lauren Layne emotion is a central character. Her tales are stories of courage, instances of heartache and in the case of An Ex for Christmas, comedy in all it’s shining glory. Second chances don’t come along often but for Mark and Kelly, could the first time end of being the last? Psychics, exes and a best friend are the start of something new. The road to happily ever after is paved with angst, pain and of course an abundance of rain, but in the case of these BFF’s can the holiday spirit and a sprig of mistletoe, spice up those cold winter nights? Laughter and romance go hand and hand. Light and airy delight!
