À propos de cet audio

It's nearly Christmas, Julia Devine's favourite time of the year. She's just programmed a wonderful lead into the holidays at Sunny Street Cinema, which leaves her plenty of time to worry about going home to Cumbria for Christmas. Her mum and stepdad are fine, but the thought of spending another holiday with her awful stepsister Becca is enough to make a Scrooge out of anyone.

When Becca calls to let her know about the dreamy pilot she's bringing to Christmas lunch, Julia finally snaps and does something very silly. She tells Becca she's dating heartthrob movie star Hugo Turner.

Of course, Julia isn't dating Hugo Turner - she isn't dating anyone - but Becca will never let her live it down if she discovers Julia's lie. Enter Sam Hunter, ordinary guy on the street with a startling resemblance to a movie star. Without any holiday plans of his own, he's the perfect stand-in for the real Hugo. Sam has his own reasons for agreeing to be Julia's sham movie-star boyfriend. It's just for one weekend, right? But will this Christmas charade flourish into real Christmas magic?

A very Cinderella kind of story but in the current set up. A little book to pass the time thinking about romance.

Cute, just cute

That ending?!?! I need to know more. What happened next? did they figure things out? I loved this story until the ending.

Great story, the ending though...

It is a short, sweet, easy listen. It was extremely predictable and mildly implausible, like listening to a Hallmark movie as a an audiobook, but it was exactly the right length and flavour for what I was looking for while putting up my Christmas decorations. The main characters are enjoyable, the step-sister is over the top annoying, but I’d recommend it if you don’t want anything long or serious. My only critique is that I didn’t love the narrator just because she sounded old for the characters. She wasn’t bad, but just didn’t seem like what I would have imagined for Julia.

Light, short, predictable Christmas listen

A really sweet romance. The characters are lovable and I was rooting for them from the start.

I enjoyed this listen. Hugo was a little maudlin and over-romanticized, but it seems that was the character archetype that the author was going for. Absolutely detested Becca, so she was very well written. Ultimately, each character has a humanness; in that you’re never sure how you feel about them until the ending. The story WAS predictable, but charming and it reminded me of a whole slew of films that I want to watch over again! Another cute, seasonal offering from Kate Forster!

Very clever plot and likeable characters. Nothing like I have read before. Always enjoy an English accent.

Just delightful

It was a cute holiday book to listen to on Christmas Eve & Christmas morning on audible.

It’s similar to Notting Hill but slightly different.

She meets a handsome man who people ask for his autograph but he insists they are mistaken and he’s not the famous actor, she plays along with it to make fans leave him alone but little does she know it’s actually him!

They became friends and then he offers to spend Christmas with her family to get back at her evil step sister by pretending to be the famous actor in love with her… but it’s all real and the lie nearly breaks them.

It’s a cute little story

Very cute kinda like the movie Notting hill but slightly different
