Review: My Unexpected Christmas Wedding by Rachael Stewart*

 
''YOU WANT ME TO BE YOUR FAKE WIFE?'
In this How to Win a Monroe story, when my best friend Aiden Monroe proposed, all my foolish youthful dreams came true. But the guarded bachelor only wants a temporary fiancĂ©e to appease his family. Still, after my recent break-up, spending Christmas with Aiden sounds ideal. We didn’t expect our families’ enthusiasm for our engagement… Nor that we’d be hurtling towards a real Christmas wedding!'

Get ready for a festive treat with this brand new book from Rachael Stewart. This is the second book in the 'How to win a Munroe' duet and focuses on Avery's big brother Aiden and his best friend Elena. Their story is a classic friends to lovers which is told over the course of 13 Chapters plus an epilogue. 

Elena is an opera singer, while Aiden is a business man. These two have grown up together and have been best friends since childhood. What is fun, is not only have they grown up together but their parents are also friends. 

Although this story starts with Aiden trying to make people happy, he eventually realises what has been right under his nose, that (almost) everyone can see apart from him. 

This story is very easy to get stuck into and you will soon find yourselves lost to this festive read. Not only it is very centred around Christmas but it also includes the family decorating and generally getting ready for the festive season. 

Although this is very much a romance with that being its main topic, it feels like their is an underlying topic that is clear throughout. The topic of rediscovering your Christmas spirit after you have experienced loss. This is an underlying theme for me in this book, but it is written in spectacularly.

This book not only shows you more sides to Aiden (especially if you have read Avery's story) we also get to meet new characters like Terry and Elena's parents. But there is also the return of both Avery and Gabe. This is perfect for reader of the first book as you get to see a bit more to these two love birds. But don't worry if you haven't read the first book, this book will not make you feel out of the loop or like you are missing something. Though I can't guarantee you won't be rushing out to buy the first book after you finish this one!

Overall this story as a whole is the perfect festive read, that will leave you with that warm feeling and smiling from ear to ear. This book reminds me even more why Rachael has become one of my favourite authors, especially when she releases back to back books that you just fall in love with. You can get your copy HERE.

Until Next Time
