ARC REVIEW OF An Ex for Christmas by Lauren Layne

An Ex for Christmas by Lauren Layne


Elementary school teacher Kelly Byrne loves Christmas and is very superstitious. When this mysterious woman tells her she's already met The One and will be with him come Christmas, this sends Kelly into a tizzy and she immediately spends the next two weeks before Christmas tracking her unmarried exes and checking into those old feels for  her old unmarried exes to see if they have been naughty, nice, and , for her---The One.
During those two weeks, she ends up crossing off those exes after she reunites with them and finds during this time she is becoming super attracted to her very best friend , a man she never thought she would have those type of feelings for.  Mark Blakely is more than just her BFF- he is her neighbor and one awesome chef.   Mark takes this time while Kelly is trying to figure out who her ONE is, to prove to her that he ultimately is her one and make her see that he has always been there and has been in love with her pretty much forever.
The story has its ups and downs and we see Kelly not so focused on herself finally toward the end of the story when she realizes that Mark is her True One and she takes a leap of faith and hopes she can prove she is in love with him and that she does want him in her life forever. It took Kelly getting out of the friend role and seeing Mark in the boyfriend / forever mate role to make her see he is the one for her. But there were some twists in the story and Mark was walking away after Kelly , it seemed, took his love for granted and didn’t open her heart to him. Will Kelly be able to win Mark back? Or is this the end of Kelly and Mark? 
I liked this sweet Best friends to lovers story. It was, at times, slow but overall had a sweet story and message. I did like the ending and felt Mark was the perfect book boyfriend.
My Rating:  4.5 stars *****

“I received an advanced copy of this book from the author at no cost to me."
