This is the third book on my christmas read of 2013 and the first Carole Matthews book.

The story starts with Cassie Smith  who lost her job a year ago but has a love for christmas and turns it into a business " calling Mrs christmas ". This title does not let the book down .

As her business grows Cassie land her all important client Carter Randall who has a bank of gold before Cassie knows she wrapped up her christmas joy and finds her self falling for Carter, who will she chose the man with the heart of gold or the man with the bank of gold ???????

Also what I loved about the book the Carole Matthew brought to the book the true joy of giving and not receiving  with Jim and the two boys from the Young Offenders Unit I won't say too much as this is the gem of the story but please go and read this book before christmas you will be disappointed.
