Okay let
me see, I am going to start with a bit about the book, as if I start with my
opinion I'm just going to keep going on and on about how much I loved 'One Wish in Manhattan,' and
we'd never get to the story!
This story follows Hayley as she returns to New
York City at Christmas time, in order to fulfill her 9 year old daughter,
Angel's one Christmas wish. In doing so, she also wants to see if she can find
herself again, as well as some inspiration in the city she fell in love with 10
years ago. We also meet Oliver Drummond, a billionaire who is living in
constant fear due to his families history. He pushes everyone he loves away and
doesn't want any meaningful relationships because, really wants the point? He is
used to using his money to grant women their biggest wishes, enjoying their
company for the night and doing it all again the next evening, but when he
meets Hayley, her wish isn't what he expected, she's not what he expected, can
she change the way he lives his life for the better and can he help Hayley with
her one wish after all?
This book
was so wonderful! I couldn't put it down. First off, Hayley's daughter Angel is
absolutely hilarious, she brings so many laugh out loud moments to this book
and I challenge you not to fall in love with her. The relationship between her
and her Mum had me smiling from ear to ear. The bond, the interactions, the
love, it's just lovely. Hayley herself is inspiring, a single Mum who just
wants the best for her daughter, so puts her own dreams on hold. I loved that
she was independent and could be flirty but also had a vulnerable side with
insecurities too! Then there is Oliver, again I loved that whilst being good
with the ladies and having a confident business attitude, there was a
vulnerability to him and a part of him that just wanted to be confident in all
areas of his life. I felt for him and grew to care about him throughout the
story. I actually found myself caring about all the characters deeply, I love
that about a book, when you are going about your day to day life but your mind
is still in New York at Christmas with these people you just met. Ahh the joys
of being a bookworm!
This book really just made me happy, it's festive and has
all the coziness and warmth of the holiday season, as well as a steamy romance, but it's also heartfelt and very real in the issues it brings up. I was moved
by the story and the wonderful characters. Mandy Baggot is someone I will
definitely continue adding to my bookshelf! :)
Make sure you pick up a copy of "One Wish in Manhattan" today!
Happy Reading!
Love
