Holly and her parents are small-time party planners in England, but she would love to break into the world of huge, expensive celebrity parties. When Dean Layton, a British celebrity living in New York City, asks her to come to the Big Apple to organize a British-themed Christmas party for him, Holly believes it's her big break.In New York, Holly bumps heads with Dean's aggravating personal assistant, Elsa. Dean is charming, but his demands are ridiculous, even impossible, yet Holly attempts to give him the Christmas party he desires. What makes the trip worth it is Alex, a bartender with a heart of gold whom Holly develops feelings for, even though she has to go back home soon. But with Dean's persistent demands, she may not be home for the holidays as she expected. She has to decide if she'll sacrifice family time for her career.Holly and Alex's relationship was very sweet. I also liked how Holly was torn between her ambitions of being a party planner and the ache to be with her family. This was a satisfying chick-lit novella.
