Synopsis

Two single thirty-year-olds. One marriage pact. And a night in Vegas that’s about to change everything… On Christmas Eve eight years ago Evie and Dan made a pact: if they weren’t married by thirty, they were going to marry each other. Of course, neither of them took it seriously, even if Dan has always been mesmerised by Evie’s beautiful smile, and Evie has always fancied Dan, her best-friend’s brother. But then “it” happens. They wake up on Christmas Eve, the night before Evie’s thirtieth birthday in Vegas… married. In a honeymoon suite filled with hundreds of heart-shaped pillows, they realise too late what they’ve done – just like Ross and Rachel. Surely if they just get a quickie divorce, they can go back to the way things used to be, right? If it wasn’t for the alcohol and Susan-with-the-huge-beehive-hairdo who just wouldn’t take no for an answer, none of this would have happened. They can just go back to being friends. Except moving on is easier said than done when you've secretly loved each other forever… but if one of them doesn’t admit that, what happens to their friendship? If they don’t get together this time, what happens to the pact? Are they really ready to let it go for good?

My Review

I really did enjoy this book. It wasn't exactly full of Christmas but I really enjoyed the story-line. This is one of them Christmas books that you can read throughout the year. The story was great full of antisipation of will they or won't they get together. I really loved the fact the story was based around a group of friends and close family bonds. I liked the fact than not only was evie out of luck in love but she obviously takes after her mother and all the dramas involved where great. The characters were brilliant each one quirky in their own way and this ment that sometimes it was hard to predict what would happen next. Not to mention some shocking moments where you find yourself saying noooo out loud. Personally I would of loved more Christmas content, spirit and cheer . Many thanks to the author and publishers for creating this wonderful romance story.
