Emergency Contact by Lauren Layne
5.0
4.5/5 stars
I'm not the biggest holiday romance fan, as the cheesy drama-filled romcoms aren't really my cup of tea... This book though, is a fantastic and fun read that left me feeling a little more festive this December. Emergency Contact has so many of the typical tropes that added tension at just the right moments. I wouldn't mind going back into this book for another read this holiday season.
Katherine is a character, especially when it comes to Christmastime, that's when her character most parallels a furry, green Christmas menace known as the Grinch. She's strong-willed and prickly, but mostly she's lonely. She's spent nearly the past decade hating the cheerful and festive winter holiday and the only thing that can make this season hurt just a bit less is making a partner at her law firm. Things don't necessarily go as planned when a car accident leaves Katherine with a concussion and unable to be left alone. A mistake in her paperwork leads her ex-husband, Tom to the hospital room and reluctantly offering to take her home with him for Christmas. But by a stroke of bad luck and a blizzard, going home for the holidays isn't as easy as they would have thought, as they are sent on an adventure neither of them wanted, especially as the final destination is supposed to lead him to proposing to his girlfriend.
