Product Description

Product Description

Last night, Anna Gardner was the life of the office Christmas party—right up until she threw herself at gorgeous advertising executive playboy, Hugh Munro. Again. Last year, Hugh let her pretend their passionate kiss never happened, but this year he’s determined to make Anna admit she wants him as much as he wants her.

Except, Hugh doesn't know the office party is the only night of the year his friend lets her hair down. That every hour she’s away from the office is spent caring for her sickly mother. That her mother’s condition, early-onset Alzheimer’s disease, is hereditary.

When Hugh finds out what she’s been hiding, he’s forced to do some serious soul-searching. It's not fair to Anna or her mother for him to get involved casually, but casual relationships are all he knows. Can he prove to himself—and to Anna—that she’s all he wants for Christmas?

An exceptional holiday read. 22 Dec 2011
By Cocktails and Books - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
I wasn't sure what to expect with this quick one. An office christmas party, drinking, karoke and a kiss. Things could go many directions. What I wasn't expecting was to find myself on the verge of sobbing at a Christmas story!

This is a story that pulls at your heartstrings. You've got a young woman who has made the decision to be the primary caregiver to her mother with Alzheimer. While it's still in it's beginning stages, we're given a glimpse of what Anna will be dealing with as the disease progresses. It's all consuming and it breaks your heart to see the wonderful relationship Anna and her mother have and know that it will soon be something much different. To add to Anna's grief, there's the knowledge that the disease is hereditary so if her mom has it, there's a good chance she'll have it. She chooses to be by herself, almost like she doesn't want to inflict the disease on whomever may choose to spend their life with her.

Hugh is a man that you love instantly and can see why Anna would be attracted to him. Even after being rejected by Anna three times, he still pursues her. When he finds out about her mother's Alzheimer's and the possibility that Anna may have it, he doesn't run as far away as possible. Instead, he researches and understands and then plans his course of action.

This was a wonderful story. Any book, no matter what length, that can make me cry is always a winner in my book. But this was exceptionally written and gives everyone a little hope that love can conquer anything.

Hits All The Right Holiday Notes 19 Dec 2011
By R. Harris - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
All I Want For Christmas hits all the right holiday notes. Short and sweet, it manages to tug your heart strings, give you hope, make you smile, and give even a Southerner like me--who more often than not is blasting her A/C on Christmas Eve--the warm, delicious feel of a white Christmas.

I'm in awe of Ros Clarke's ability to give her characters so much depth and rich backstory while not doing huge info dumps or bogging down the story. I got just enough to care about each of the characters, to understand where they are coming from and how they relate to each other, while also watching the rest of their stories unfold. And it only left me wanting more. I want to know what happens to these characters next! :-)

Anna's humor, strength, and loyalty make her an amazing protagonist. Her sweet and poignant relationship with her mother was so heartfelt. Her deep sense of caring for others, her desire not to burden anyone with her problems, makes her someone to admire. And her weakness for the office party punch and habit of serenading Hugh with impromptu, buzzed Karaoke was just plain awesome.

Hugh was a man you could fall in love with. Even though the chapters in his POV were few, I got to know the man he was, and the man he will be for Anna in the future, and the word 'swoon' doesn't even begin to do him justice. He's the type of love interest to make a reader sigh, get all dreamy-eyed, feel all warm and toasty without the need of a heater, then prompt her to hunt down her husband/signficant other and give him a big old smooch.

I loved that none of the characters shied away from the hard questions--and neither did the author. This wasn't a simple, we'll deal with whatever happens situation, where all the hard stuff is thought about/decided off page. Real issues are explored in this story, even as short as it is, and Hugh's belief that love is strong enough to get them through it all just made my heart happy.

The setting of England only enhanced an already beautiful love story. I loved witnessing a white Christmas filled with Queen's speeches, crackers with random crap stuffed inside, and fun vocabulary words I'd never heard before but instantly loved. Ros brought the sounds, smells, tastes, and joy of the holiday alive. The only drawback to this lovely story is that it's left me with an intense need to travel to London for a chance to experience it all myself!

Such a sweet story! 9 Dec 2011
By Serenity - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a lovely little story, tender and sweet, with nicely drawn characters and some really touching moments. Anna's difficult plight highlights a real issue in today's society of caring for elderly relatives and the kind of sacrifices some people have to make. A lovely Christmassy read. You won't be disappointed!
