I’m relatively new to Karen’s Swan’s writing having only previously read and reviewed The Stolen Hours in a post you’ll find here. I loved that book. Consequently, I was delighted to be given the chance to review All I Want for Christmas as my latest online book review for My Weekly magazine.
My enormous thanks to Chloe Davies at Pan Macmillan for sending me a copy of All I Want for Christmas which was published on 10th October and is available for purchase through the publisher links here.
All I Want for Christmas
Three first dates and an art-world mystery – it’s going to be a busy Christmas for Darcy. All I Want for Christmas is the Sunday Times bestselling cosy winter romance from Karen Swan, author of Christmas By Candlelight.
Can she find love this Christmas?
Christmas in Copenhagen is a magical time of year but Darcy Cotterell isn’t feeling festive. Newly single, again, she’s not even going home for Christmas. Instead she will be spending her holiday finishing her art history PhD. Her best friend, Freja, has other ideas. She signs Darcy up to a dating app, determined that she won’t be lonely this Christmas.
Darcy agrees to three dates – but her mind is on work, not play: an unknown portrait by Denmark’s greatest painter has been found and she is tasked with identifying the woman in the painting. During her research, she encounters sexy, arrogant lawyer Max Lorensen – who happens to be bachelor number one! The attraction is instant but, knowing they must work together, they abandon the match. Or try to. But their feelings are undeniable – until Darcy discovers Max has an agenda . . .
My Review of All I Want for Christmas
My full review of All I Want for Christmas can be found on the My Weekly website here.
However, here I can say that All I Want for Christmas is a wonderful story of love, attraction, intrigue and history set against big business, and the art world, in the glorious city of Copenhagen. It held me utterly captivated and I loved it.
