Review – Something from Tiffany’s by Melissa Hill #romance @sourcebookscasa
Synopsis
Now a Hello Sunshine/Prime feature film from international bestselling author Melissa Hill comes an adorable holiday romance about taking chances, falling in love, and trusting destiny.
New York City at Christmas and a visit to Tiffany’s is a recipe to sweep a girl off her feet. Unless fate has other plans . . .
When Ethan Greene lost his wife, he never thought he would be able to replace her until one woman stepped in and showed him how to be happy again. Now, on a romantic Christmas trip to New York City, he has a plan to show Vanessa just how important she is to him and maybe even to give his daughter, Daisy, a complete family again. He’s going to propose with a perfect ring from Tiffany’s.
Gary Knowles and his girlfriend, Rachel, are on the trip of a lifetime in New York at the most magical time of year. The only thing missing is Gary’s gift for Rachel since, as usual, he’s left his shopping far too late. On a last-minute Christmas Eve visit to Tiffany’s, he quickly picks out a charm bracelet for her and heads back to their hotel. But, in a moment, one small mistake changes everything…

Review
I happened to watch the movie first, so I thought I knew what would happen in this book. I was wrong because while the basic premise is the same, the details are different.
Once I got past that part, I enjoyed the story. Ethan is too nice, not wanting to hurt Rachel’s feelings, Rachel is in a relationship with a self-absorbed jerk (aka Gary), Teri is a well-meaning friend, and Daisy is the bright spot in the stories.
The book was a quick read, filled with deceit on multiple fronts and the desire to find true love. There is a HEA for some of the characters, but not all.
We give this book 4 paws up.
