A Manhattanite's Christmas

*** I voluntarily reviewed this book, via NetGalley I gained no monetary incentives nor was I specifically requested to review the book, these are my honest ramblings and I hope you enjoy reading them - kat***I do like the characters that Avery Aster writes about, they are pure escapism and a great way to zone out from the humdrum reality of real life.We really don't get to see much of the familiar characters in this book, a brief cameo by Taddy and Kiki and Blake at Brill inc, but the main story centres on Taddy's Brother in law, single dad Sheldon Truman, he is trying to do the right thing for his autistic child, and to do that he needs money, he won't take charity from his brother Warner, so that means he is going to agree to go on a reality TV show!The show is a Newlywed Boot Camp with Neve Adele, a C-lister she is beginning to see her fame slip, she is willing to do anything, even if it means marrying a total stranger!The pair feel an attraction, and even though they think they are incompatible - it seems they have a lot of things that they like about each other...As they work together in the program they begin to peel back the layers that each of them hide behind.I liked this couple, they looked completely incompatible from the outside, but their hearts told a different story.Of course, this is an Avery Aster Book so the sex was HOTT! but I loved the way that Neve had to work through what she thought she wanted... and when she got it, found what she really wanted was what she'd walked away from.
