Thanks to the publishers for my copy of this book

Merry Smith is relying on her temping job at Matterson Consulting to last until Christmas but she keeps getting on the wrong side of her grumpy boss, Jayson Bright, who seems to be determined to find fault with everything Merry does. Merry's sweet nature doesn't let too many things get the better of her as her life at home, although fraught with difficulties, is filled with warmth and love. On the other hand, Jayson Bright is finding that the pressure of keeping his business afloat in a competitive market, means that he has little time for love and, it would seem, that he isn't very good at personal relationships. However, fate has a funny way of intervening and in Merry and Bright there are a whole heap of surprises to discover about life and love.

I really enjoyed this festive story which has such a lovely warmth to it that you can't help but be drawn into the whole concept of finding love in the most unexpected of places. Merry and Bright is written with a lovely light touch which gets right into the heart of family life and which shows that the true spirit of Christmas comes from being with those we love. The warmth of Merry's life is shown in direct contrast to Jason, who, although he has so much materially, he has little love in his life and he comes across as a rather lost and lonely figure.

There is no doubt that this talented author really knows how to hold the reader's interest, and with fine attention to detail, and a lovely array of characters, she gives exactly what her readers love to find in a wonderfully, festive read.
