A festive romance with a
sprinkling of Pixie Dust.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR -
Elsa Simonetti was born in the same year as Walt Disney World, but many miles away in the north of England. Her earliest Disney memory is crying during Bambi at the Saturday morning cinema club! It wasn’t until her own children were small that her husband introduced her to the magic of Disneyland Paris, and since then she has become obsessed, proving Walt Disney’s own belief that “Laughter is timeless, imagination has no age and dreams are forever”. That was the seed of this story – that Disneyland is not just for children, but for anyone who is young at heart.
Elsa also writes romantic
women’s fiction under the name of Liz Taylorson

MY THOUGHTS –
This was a very simple, short, but sweet story. So it started a little slow for me, and a little too fairytale-ish. I hated all the characters… James was a mama’s boy/doormat, James’ mother was the wicked witch, and Bell was a whiney 5 yr. old… or so I thought. LOL Don’t worry it gets better!
Half way through I did really start to enjoy it a lot better. I am not into the whole Disney thing (I know some people are) but it was a nice setting for a Christmas story. And this one was very Christmassy! Yay!
Everyone’s character did a 180 for me! James ended up being a wonderful, sweet, understanding boyfriend. His mother, it turns out, had a very good reason for the way she was and she kind of stole the show for me. Belle, well I never really loved Belle, but she did get better for me! I was glad that she got the Christmas in Disney that she wanted 😊
This turned out
to be a sweet, cute, romantic Christmas story.
