Peter and Hank are lifelong friends, but when it comes to their jobs they couldn’t be more different. Peter is a small-town pastor and is devoted to helping the community, while Hank runs the local pub and is never too far from a party. But this Christmas, everything is about to change . . .

Having never settled down, Peter and Hank believe their demanding jobs are keeping them from finding love. Convinced that the other has it easier, they hatch a plan to swap places the week before Christmas to put their theories to the test and find time for themselves.

But as Hank quickly becomes overwhelmed by nativity plans, and Peter struggles to control the rowdy festive pub-goers, they each begin to worry they’re in over their heads. Luckily, church assistant Grace is on hand to help Hank navigate a church/life balance, and a young woman seeking shelter at the pub might be exactly what Peter needs to realise there’s more than one way to help his community . . .

This Christmas, will Peter and Hank’s stunt fall flat, or will it open their eyes to the possibility of love at last?

My Thoughts:

This is my first Christmas book of the year and I couldn’t wait to dive in and feel festive. This is a nice short easy read which I read in a couple of hours. I love the way in which the story is set, telling the children a story, also one that is not made up, we hear from the children throughout asking questions which I liked because some of those questions I was asking myself. It is a lovely festive read all about friendship and romance. It was uplifting and just pure joy to read.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
