I’m delighted to welcome you today to my stop on the blog tour for the lovely and heartwarming One Week ‘Til Christmas by the always fabulous Belinda Missen. Thank you to Rachel Gilbey and HQ Digital for giving me the opportunity to read and review this gorgeous book.
About the book:
One Week ‘til Christmas
Two people. One chance meeting. Seven days to Christmas.
Isobel Bennett is waiting for the number 11 bus when a man quite literally falls into her lap. Snow is falling, Christmas lights are twinkling, and a gorgeous man with dark brown hair has just slipped on ice and is now pressed against Isobel.
Isobel knows she’s not imagining the chemistry between them. But then his ride arrives and, embarrassed, he beats a hasty retreat, murmuring apologies – and Isobel realises only too late that she didn’t manage to catch his name…
When she runs into him again the next morning, she decides it’s fate.
It’s a second chance for Isobel and Tom – but there’s only one week until she’s leaving London for good. Seven days of enjoying all the festive delights the city has to offer: ice-skating at Somerset House, mulled wine on the Southbank, Christmas shopping at Liberty.
There’s magic in the air and mistletoe in the trees – but what will happen when the week is over?
For fans of Josie Silver, Lucy Diamond and Marian Keyes, this is one Christmas romance you don’t
want to miss!

My Review:
Oh, what a lovely and heartwarming read this book is! It’s one of those books that lifts your spirits, bringing a huge smile to your face from beginning to end. The perfect story to read as we move into the festive season, One Week ‘Til Christmas has everything you could possibly want from a Christmas story and I loved every single beautiful and uplifting word of it!
Isobel Bennett is staying in London for one week before she’s due to travel back home to Melbourne to spend Christmas with her family. But then a dark haired, handsome man literally falls into her lap and the chemistry between them is instantaneous. Before she has time to think, he is gone and Isobel is left wondering what might have been. But then fate leads her directly to him – and gives Isobel and Tom a second chance to get to know one another. But what will happen when Isobel’s one week in London is over and she goes back home for good? Will she be able to turn her back on Tom forever?
What follows is a glorious feel good story that will leave you with a warm glow in your heart as you turn the final page. I had a big smile on my face from beginning to end and I know this is a story I will want to read again in the future. I could imagine One Week ‘Til Christmas up on the big screen as the perfect, uplifting, romantic Christmas movie that could easily become staple viewing for the festive season. There wasn’t a thing about it I didn’t love, with the story flowing effortlessly, making me fall more and more in love with Isobel and Tom with every page.
Belinda Missen has written yet another fantastic page turner of a novel and I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next! She’s fast becoming my go to author when I’m in the mood for a book that will lift my spirits and make me smile. Pure escapism at its very best!
Highly recommended.
