Friends! Countrywoman! Do not hesitate to pick up this delightful holiday story!
Isobel thinks she was invited to swanky party where she could hobnob and network with the kind of clientele she needed for her new career as a sommelier. Except when she arrives, in her beautiful dress and high heels, she quickly finds out she is meant to be the help-- serving wine to the guests!
Oliver finds himself ostracized from his fellow coworkers and bosses because he used his the forensic accountant skills they hired him for to bring down one of the higher ups in the agency. He’s lonely, questioning his life choices.
These two somewhat lost souls come together and the sparks! They immediately fly! And even better, they are able to help each other achieve their goals-- Oliver introduces Isobel to an important woman who could advance her career, Isobel gives Oliver a way to express his art. And then there is smooching! It’s all so fun and happy. The perfect little bite of holiday goodness. 4 stars.

I've greatly enjoyed Olivia Waite's other stories - they are intelligent, erotic and good fun. So this came as a surprise - the MCs spend almost no time with each other, and the story is almost saccharine. If I hadn't had high expectations, I might have rated this more highly, as Olivia Waite does write well, in spite of the disappointing story.
