Keeley received a donor kidney after a tragic accident that took the life of her beloved sister Bea. The mother of the donor makes contact with Keeley and wants to fly her to Paris to meet her. Keeley agrees, and takes her annoying friend Rach along for the journey. 

In Paris, Ethan is struggling to manage his hotel business after the loss of his business partner. Her family want to make changes that will see him getting the boot - all he needs is a new idea to make the business work again. 

Mandy's novels aren't whodunnits, so you pretty much know what you're getting from the off, and that's exactly why I love them. I'm particularly fond of her Christmas releases, and this was no different. It was a really lovely rom-com that had wonderfully lovable characters with the exception of Rach, who absolutely did my head in, and Lizzie, who was smothering Keeley (I feel like there is an over abundance of these women in rom-coms but perhaps this is because there genuinely are a lot of them in reality, lord help us all). This book was like a great big warm hug.
