Let the Christmas reading season begin HO HO HO HO
REBEL WITHOUT A CLUS ARC REVIEW
Author: Emma Hart Note: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year—unless you’re Quinn Langley.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve hated the festive season for as long as I can remember, but this year really takes the chestnut. My family has run Snow Cove’s grotto for the past sixty years, but when my dad—our resident Santa Claus—gets the flu, it’s down to me to find a new Santa and save Christmas.
If only Grandpa would stop spiking the eggnog…
Oh, and if I had more than twenty-four hours to do it. Not to mention that all the people who can help me are already busy with their own plans for the Christmas fair.
Until Nicholas freaking White knocks on the grotto door.
I haven’t seen or spoken to him since he took my v-card and abandoned me in a motel room nine years ago, but he’s my only option. I have no choice but to let him be my Santa Claus, or I risk ruining Christmas for hundreds of kids.
The last place I want to be is stuffed in the grotto with Nicholas, being Santa’s not so happy little helper, still desperately trying to hold onto my grudge.
Now, if only we could stop finding ourselves under mistletoe, that would be great…
BOOK REVIEW
Friends since high school Quinn and Nicholas spend the night together, friends do that?, after that night something happens and both are unexpectedly separated, only that Santa Claus is always requested during the end of the year, and Quinn's family knows it, his grandfather is no longer able, his father is sick, his mother busy with everyone, his sister pregnant and having to deal with chaos Quinn will be responsible for organizing everything, yes, everything, in lack of Santa Claus Nicholas appears after years and accepts the challenge. Both will have to deal with an abruptly broken friendship, confused feelings and a hectic Christmas.
First of all I would like to say that I was very happy to receive the advance copy of the book to do the review from one of the authors I love the most and who makes me read even if I am lazy.
This book is a hilarious mess many times during the reading I imagined myself in that crazy house during Christmas and this is what we want in Christmas books to feel all that enchantment as if we were in that place. I will start by saying how much I loved the quick and drama free introduction of Nick and Quinn's past, many saw her as a rebel and I just thought, is that being a rebel? So I went without knowing, they both complement each other so well in the storyline and have such a connection that you just want more, more and more. Sometimes Quinn annoyed me and completed me so much with her patience-less way that I stopped and reflected how much we are alike and I love books that portray real people, in real circles, without trivialization and plots that would never happen in real life. In many parts of the book Nicholas' family is mentioned but at no time are they introduced in the story this was the only thing that bothered me maybe we can use grief as an excuse but I still think it would fit there an appearance from them, Erin and Oscar were amazing secondary characters for a backdrop and interaction between the couples. We also have the right amount of sensuality here, two scenes at most but very exciting and engaging. RWAC is a book with an extra Christmas spirit, with a decisive, sexy and mature female character, with a sweet, sarcastic and charming male character, it's a read without complications and difficult terms, suitable for adults and very light, without much drama, something to laugh a lot and fall in love with all the characters inserted there, an addictive, exciting and amazing read.
Thanks to Emma and Stacy for the advance copy (ARC).
