After his fiancee broke up with him live on TV, Hollywood star Cade Harrison looks for some peace from the press at his friend’s house on Staten Island. But the peace is soon interrupted by his beautiful and strong-headed neighbour, Clover. He soon falls for her and the more time they spend together, the closer they get. Clover teaches him to be a normal guy without the lights of Hollywood and to love the magic of Christmas, while he teaches her to appreciate more herself. Although the Christmas setting in Manhattan is very evocative, the story is predictable. It’s a nice story of a boy and girl falling in love in spite of their differences but there are no twists or surprises that kept me glued to the page. (NP)
