A Christmas Truce

By: Emma Bennet

Narrated by: Stephanie Racine

Photographer Libby just got fired. Again. Then she gets home early to find her boyfriend in bed with another woman. And just like that, her dreams of a Christmas Day proposal are shattered.

Libby lands a new job as a personal assistant to enigmatic businessman Seth Coleman. He’s terse and demanding — it’s no wonder Libby keeps messing up.

Then one day an adorable Golden Retriever puppy is delivered to the house. As Libby helps Seth train Barney, she realizes that there’s a surprisingly sweet side to this CEO . . .

But everything goes wrong when Libby finds out that Seth’s company just bought the community centre where they’ve been training Barney. It’s not only puppy classes, it’s a lifeline for the whole village. Libby is devastated when Seth says it’s ‘just business’. So she packs her bags.

Until disaster strikes and Libby is forced to spend her favourite time of the year with a man who doesn’t even own tinsel. It’s up to Libby to bring some much-needed Christmas spirit. Starting with a truce, since they’re going to be stuck together whether they like it or not.

But Libby might just find magic under the mistletoe after all if she can encourage Seth to open his heart to Christmas . . .

Loved the characters and their interactions. There were funny parts that just made you smile.

Good and interesting

The story is predictable and straightforward, which is entertaining and maintains some wholesomeness. The characters are a bit bland but they pair well. I liked some of the humor in this one, as it wasn't absurd like rom-com jokes but felt generally funny. The performance is great, too. Overall, this is a simple story that doesn't delve into too many deep topics, and it is enjoyable.
