Discover the magic of Melissa Hill this Christmas... Darcy Archer works in a small bookstore on Manhattan's Upper West Side. A dreamer who secretly wishes for true love similar to that in her beloved novels, Darcy refuses to settle for anything less than being swept off her feet by the perfect man.
One day, when cycling to work, Darcy accidentally crashes into a sharply dressed man walking his dog. He is knocked unconscious and rushed to the hospital, but his dog gets left behind. Wracked with guilt over the accident, Darcy resolves to care for the dog and reunite him with his owner. But the dog is not the only thing that's been left behind and when she finds a small beautifully wrapped package - suspiciously shaped like a book - she becomes curious. She decides to try and figure out all she can about this man, and make the delivery herself. Darcy gradually becomes drawn into his life; one that she soon discovers is filled with books, travel, adventure and all the wonderful things she's ever dreamt about. It doesn't take long before Darcy builds up a picture of this man's lovely life, and feeling an immediate kinship towards him, tries to make things right.
It might be a challenge but doesn't she owe it to him to try? But does fantasy match reality? And what happens when he finally wakes up??
This book blew my completely off my socks! From the cover you might get the impression this is a very sweet chicklit, but be aware, it is far FAR more than just that. This book got so many amazing and clever plot changes and twists and besides that, fun characters. I thought I saw coming what was going to happen next but oh dear, I was so wrong!! Everything that you think is going to happen next in this book is going different, and some people are not who you think they are. But hey, I am already posting some kind of a spoiler now so I won't continue. Let's just keep it with that this is by far one of the most outstanding new books I have read this year and that I highly recommend this fast paced one of a kind book! And I think this book will do great as holiday gift!!
