Welcome to Litsy!

What does Christmas look like to you? A tree rammed with homemade decorations, a mantelpiece weighed down with cards, Mum telling Dad not to put the chocolate wrappers back in the tin, a festive film on television... It should definitely not look like a naked woman on her knees noshing off your boyfriend of three years in the shower. It's Christmas Eve eve, and the holidays are not off to a good start for, er, Eve. After the surprise and shock of catching her boyfriend cheating, Eve - totally devastated - reacts by throwing the gifts she's selflessly bought and wrapped for HIS family out of the window. But while doing so she discovers her own present from Chris under the Christmas tree: an engagement ring, bought at the jeweller's where she works. What the jingle bells is going on? And what was he thinking? Confused and with her Christmas plans in tatters, Eve rocks up at the jeweller's for some tea and sympathy with her lovely employers, Mr and Mrs Caspar, who quietly put in a distress call to her colleague, Joe. Eve doesn't know that Joe is secretly in love with her, but her bosses do, and they know he's just the person Eve needs to comfort her in a crisis. Joe gets the call while moonlighting as a buff butler at a Christmas-themed hen do and races across town to help console Eve. But as he learns about her heartbreak, the Caspars realise a crucial delivery has gone astray: five gold rings destined for Christmas proposals and weddings have been sent to the wrong address. Can Eve and Joe retrieve the rings and get them to their rightful owners in time? As they set off in Joe's ancient mini - Joe still dressed as a sexy elf and Eve just a liiiittle bit tipsy - their adventure begins. With three proposals and two weddings to get to, it's up to Eve and Joe to save Christmas. An utterly hilarious novel for anyone looking for festive romance with all the feels. If you have a hot date with Love Actually every Christmas you will adore this gloriously funny and unmissable festive read.
