Christmas in August: The Twelve Dates of Christmas by Lisa Dickenson

Welcome to my new feature for this week - it's Christmas in August! For this week, I'll be posting a few news posts about the festive we can look forward to this year, and already the line-up is looking fantastic - I can't wait to read them all!

One of the first books that has caught my eye is the new book from Lisa Dickenson. This has previously released as an eBook series, but this is the complete story in one book (which is what I prefer to tell the truth!). The cover is just gorgeous, and I am so excited to read this one! The kindle version is out on 6th October and the paperback book follows on 22nd October.

Available to pre-order now.

"At thirty, Claudia's life is stale and the romance with long-term boyfriend, Seth, has disappeared. Determined to inject some festive spark back into their love life, Claudia and Seth go on their first date in a very long time. But when the night ends in disaster, Claudia suddenly finds herself facing life - and Christmas - alone.

Life alone is exciting, scary and full of soon-forgotten exercise regimes and ill-advised attempts at crafting sexy underwear. It's also filling up with dates, surprisingly. With best friends Penny and Nick at her side, a surplus of festive markets, mulled wine and Christmas tunes, Claudia attempts to face all this change with gusto. One thing's for certain: this year, Christmas is going to be very different . . .

This is the story of Claudia and her twelve dates of Christmas. Hilarious, uplifting and romantic, it's a story about losing love, finding love, and discovering what's been there all along. Expect Christmas sparkle, butterflies-in-your-stomach romance and a lot of very funny moments in The Twelve Dates of Christmas."
