Heart Note by Cassandra O’Leary
Heart Note
Love is like a fine perfume. The top note draws you in, an instant attraction, but the Heart Note is the true essence. Like true love – a great perfume should be a woman’s perfect match.
At least, that’s what perfume counter manager, Lily Lucas, tells her customers in one of Australia’s largest department stores.
It’s almost Christmas, the store is bedecked with baubles and Lily has about eleventy billion gifts to wrap and sell. She and her team of spritzer chicks are glamorous, professional and hoping they don’t have to wear the hideous red onesies and reindeer antlers the store manager has in mind.
The high point of Lily’s work life is Christos Cyriakos, ex-cop, security guard, possible Greek god. He’s a mystery box she’d love to unwrap. But can she trust him?
All Lily wants for Christmas is to kiss Christos (and more), catch a band of thieves running amok in the store, and live happily ever after. Is that too much to wish for?
My Review
Thank you to Rachel from @rararesources and Cassandra O’Leary for inviting me to take part in this Bog Blitz for the wonderful Heart Note.
Lily has just started working in a large department store, doing what she loves, which is selling perfume. An added bonus to her new job is Christos the hunky security guard, who comes to Lily’s rescue on many of her accident-prone adventures.
As well as a hint of romance, a mystery crime begins to unravel in the store which hits an exciting climax just before Christmas. With everyone dressed as Santa’s helpers or in Rudolph onesies, it’s hard to know who can be trusted.
A delightfully light and cheery novella, funny in places, a little spicy and full of Christmas spirit!
