Working together in Noel’s English manor, they feel the same heat of attraction as their fictional hero and heroine. But for Noel romance means heartbreak. With Holly, and in the novel they are co-writing together, he rejects a happy ending and demands their characters die in a fiery car crash. Will Holly and Noel manage to write a happily-ever-after for their fictional couple—and themselves—by their Christmas deadline?

Summary
Christmas Deadline by Pam Binder was a fun romantic comedy set in England during Christmas. I enjoy a storyline where the main character is an author. Pam did a phenomenal job with both Holly and Noel being authors and assigned to work together.
Holly was hilarious with her ability to be in a situation and turn it into a scene for a book. I am not sure which scene had me cracking up the most: when she first meets Noel or when she met Catherine.
Holly and Noel must finish their book before the deadline or return the advance which neither of them can afford to do. This is a book I could definitely read again. I am now going back to find additional books by this author.
My two disappointments are that the cover image does not look like my imagination of Noel and I wanted the book to continue. I am hoping there is a sequel where we get to see the results of the auction.
Sexual content – 3 there are scenes but with few details. Some are imaginary and other are real
Violence – someone tries to detain them
Language I don’t recall any
Drinking – minor drinking
I received this book from Netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review.
