Season of Hope by Dayo Benson

After a dystopian thriller, what better than a cosy Christmas chick-lit to remind me of all that is well in the world?


The blurb says:

Last Christmas, Robyn Kellett was distraught because her fiancé broke up with her. This Christmas promises to be even worse as Chad Ryder, the man she loved as a naïve eighteen-year old, resurfaces with an invitation to come to a university reunion in Blackpool. Robyn’s only hope of having a merry Christmas is the mysterious man she talks to every night online. They have a date for Christmas Eve, and Robyn hopes he’s as perfect in real life as he seems on the Internet.

Chad Ryder needs Robyn to come to Blackpool. It’s the only chance he has to win her heart before she finds out that the man she’s been falling in love with online for the past six months is none other than him.

At Blackpool, Robyn is infuriated by all of Chad’s efforts to win her heart, and Chad is frustrated with her constant resistance. As Christmas Eve draws near, Chad hopes for forgiveness for his deception, and Robyn hopes for the man of her dreams.

Will either of them get what they want?

I do like Dayo Benson as an author, having got introduced to her writing through Searchlight, the first in the paranormal Crystal series.

Season of Hope is a short romance that is set in the UK, and follows the story of Robyn as she psyches herself up for her university reunion.  Having recently separated from her fiancé, and knowing that her teenage crush is going to be there, Robyn is thankful that she can confide in her online confidant.

It is light, it is predictable, it is Christmassy - everything you want from a seasonal chick lit. 😊
