A great, easy to read, book. Last part from the “Christmas” series.
This is romantic and entertaining. What starts as a cover turns into friendship, then love. I think the premise of the story is fantastic, and the characters are fascinating.
I ceived a complimentary copy of this book from the author. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.
Falling (Down The Stairs) For You!
A movie stuntman and an IVF counsellor (British/Aussie spelling, luv) meet by random luck online. What happens when they meet in person? This delightful “meet cute” is followed by an equally charming story, almost a “coming of age” despite the relative maturity of the protagonists.
A Review of Christmas Kiss in London by Joanne Dannon
Amber and Darcy – 5 stars
A wonderful story about a couple that face the odds of meeting online by accident when Amber clicks on the first Darcy Harris she finds on social media and they spend months “talking” to each other and telling each other things they would normally never tell someone they hadn’t known for a really long time. Well worth the time to purchase and enjoy!

I enjoyed this story, it was a little different from most Christmas books.
This book has humor and romance two of my favorite reads.
Of course anything that Joanne Dannon writes is a winner, she never fails.
“Christmas Kiss in London” by Joanne Dannon
A fun contemporary long distance accidental romance. Well, maybe not totally accidental. A quick easy read. Happy Reading !!
P.S. I read this story as part of ” Romancing the Holidays 3″ a boxed set of 10 titles by 10 authors. I received a gift copy of the boxed set. I do expect that the other 9 novellas will be equally engaging. Happy Holidays.
I was hooked on this story from beginning to end. Loved the characters, their chemistry, and their journey.
ONE DELIGHTFULLY SWEET READ!!!
Wow! Talk about taking a leap of faith. This is one exciting, fast paced, pulse racing, heart pounding, smooth flowing, page turning, feel good tales that captivates from the start. All the twists and turns, ins and outs, ups and downs, along with a few glitches here and there make for one enjoyable experience. The characters are written with such realism it really pulls this bad boy together beautifully. The scenes are descriptive and detailed it’s easy to picture each scenario as they play off one another perfectly. Joanne did a remarkable job bringing this read to life flawlessly. Fantastic job Joanne, thanks for sharing this bad boy with us.
Connecting with a stuntman/actor on social media by accident brought about a friendship that Amber could never have anticipated. She and Darcy came from two different worlds and yet they connected on a level that very few people reach, despite being half a world away from each other. Introvert Amber is insecure in many ways and like most shy people, she buried herself in her work trying to please everyone. Darcy was the complete opposite, but when they finally meet, they find they have more in common with one another at a deep soul level than most people who have known each other a lifetime. The book also takes one on a trip around London and parts of England, bringing back many memories as I recalled traveling a similar path some years ago. The story is well written, drawing the reader into the feelings and emotions of the main characters. It is also clean and a standalone, reaching a happy conclusion. I received a copy of this novelette as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.
I loved the accidental connection from opposite sides of the world thanks to a pushy guy at a party, a slip of the finger, and Facebook! There were some dramatic moments when it seemed they would not connect and then, voila! a reprieve for some more interaction. I read it as part of a ten-novella collection by various authors (Romancing the Holidays 3). I was drawn to the collection by the Australian and New Zealand authors, some of whose stories I had read, and found both the novellas by familiar and new authors well worth the read. Holidays around the globe, in this one from Melbourne, Australia, to London, England. Can’t get much more distance than that1
A friendship through social media grows as this unlikely couple share time through Skype. When they finally meet face to face and feelings grow, how can the have a long lasting relationship with her in Australia and him in London. Stranger things have happened. I received a complimentary copy and I am voluntarily reviewing.
