Meet Me Under the Northern Lights by Mandy Baggot

Meet Me Under the Northern Lights

Can one kiss melt a cold, broken heart?

When career-focused Chloe Bellamy is sent to Iceland on a last-minute work trip, it’s her big chance to prove she deserves a seat at the top.

But there’s one problem, she may have embellished her CV a little… saying she speaks Icelandic when she doesn’t! And now, to add to her woes, she’s landed with no place to stay.

Gunnar Eriksson has a habit of saving people. First, when he rescued a young boy from a volcano and offered him a forever home. Then opening his door and welcoming in a spirited yet accident-prone Octogenarian. Now Gunnar has somehow tied himself to Chloe who needs all the help she can get but, for some reason, is reluctant to accept it.

Neither of them are looking for love, but under Iceland’s spell, and with a little extra help from those around them, something begins to shift. Could one kiss beneath the Northern Lights change everything?

This Christmas, escape to Iceland for festive feels, unexpected friendships and maybe even a chance at love.

What did I think?

I'm thinking it is still a little too early for festive reads but the title mentions Northern Lights (or the Merry Dancers) as we call them locally. I am lucky to live high enough in Scotland to see them quite regularly. No matter how many times I see them I am still amazed by the wonders of nature.

But I have never been to Iceland - it is on my bucket list. Even more so after reading this story.

I won't be giving any spoilers about the plot - instead I will tell you what I particularly enjoyed.

The setting - both magical and festive.

The chemistry between Gunnar and Chloe. You can't help linking them both.

The humour. I

As much as I like a gritty dram I do so love a book that makes me smile. And this one certainly delivered on that point.

Add this one to your festive TBR pile now.
