I would like to begin by thanking Rachel of Rachel's Random Resources for the invitation to join the blog tour for Jennifer C Wilson's Twelve Dates 'Till Christmas and also Ms Wilson for a free digital copy of her book to review.
The blurb:
Twelve Dates 'Till ChristmasCallum and Lexie are perfect for each other - at least, that's what everyone tells them. But they're just good friends, aren't they? And neither wants to ruin the solid friendship that's treated them so well since university.
But when an old school friend of Callum's asks Lexie for a date, and passions overflow on a work night out, could it be the trigger to show each of them what they have been missing out on all this time?
With twelve weeks until Christmas, that's a lot of opportunity for romance - and for misunderstandings...
Contemporary Christmas romance
My thoughts:
I haven’t previously read anything by this author, but my interested was piqued by the cover and the blurb which suggested a light festive read. And I was not to be disappointed. Twelve Dates 'Till Christmas is set in the twelve weeks leading up to the Christmas holidays, and each chapter covers the events of each of those weekends for our two protagonists, Lexie and Callum, who have never been single at the same time, until now. Lexie and Callum have always been friends, never a couple, but such is their bond, everybody believes them to be together, and their friends think they should definitely be together. They partner each other to various events which require the presence of a significant other, and at this time of year, there are lots of them.
I read Twelve Dates 'Till Christmas in two days, such was its appeal. I particularly liked the will-they-won’t-they aspect of the story, which kept me entertained and wanting more. It's a quick easy and read with likeable characters and an engaging plot line.
| Author Bio – Jennifer C. Wilson |
|---|
 Jennifer C. Wilson stalks dead people (usually monarchs, mostly Mary Queen of Scots and Richard III). Inspired by childhood visits to as many castles and historical sites her parents could find, and losing herself in their stories (not to mention quite often the castles themselves!), at least now her daydreams make it onto the page. After returning to the north-east of England for work, she joined a creative writing class, and has been filling notebooks ever since. Jennifer won North Tyneside Libraries’ Story Tyne short story competition in 2014, and in 2015, her debut novel, Kindred Spirits: Tower of London was published by Crooked Cat Books. The full series was re-released by Darkstroke in January 2020. Jennifer is a founder and host of the award-winning North Tyneside Writers’ Circle, and has been running writing workshops in North Tyneside since 2015. She also publishes historical fiction novels with Ocelot Press. She lives in Whitley Bay, and is very proud of her two-inch view of the North Sea. |
