Why I Held Your Hand by Augusta Reilly
2.0
A small, quaint town is struggling economically. A heroine who serves as the town's treasurer brings in a marketing firm with plans for a Dickens Christmas festival to revitalize the town. This novel is set up like the beginning of a Hallmark holiday movie.
However, that's not really accurate at all. It is told from the heroine, Laura's, perspective. And yet, I found it difficult to relate to her. As she finds herself torn between two potential crushes, it felt clear to me who the hero should be. And I didn't respect her much.
The book is very steamy. If you like a lot of steam in your romances, then this might be the book for you. But for me, it wasn't a good fit. I had hoped for the sweeter holiday romance.
Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
