Rachel returned home one evening after work to her boyfriend Mark telling her he no longer loves her and that he thinks he should split up. Turning to her best friend for comfort, Rachel gets a shock when she discovers that the reason for him no longer loving her is that he is in love with someone else and the two have been having an affair behind her back for the past two months.

Grace has had enough of feeling like a doormat and cook, maid and bottle washer for her lazy husband Simon. She has had the talk with him before about being unappreciated, this time she has had enough and decides it’s time the two split up. However, Simon might have more love in him that Grace ever realised as he’s not about to leave their marriage without a fight.

Amber has just returned from her three weeks holiday in Thailand and back to work to discover both Grace and Rachel looking pretty miserable. Not great given the fact they work on a cosmetics stand in a department store. She also finds out her best friend Jack is getting married and can’t understand why she feels so terrible about it. Surely the two are only just friends and would never have been anything more?

With Christmas fast approaching the three women decide that being single is the best, especially at this time of year and ban all men until New Year, but can they keep their promise?

‘Tis the Season to be Single is a lot of fun. Yes, there are a few down moments, but there is also a lot of humour too. All three women are delightful in their own way and each is so different from the other.

The book moves along at a nice pace and all I can say is so much for staying away from men, if that is them staying away I don’t know what the book would have been like if they were full on in the dating mood!!

If you are looking for a festive book with a great plot, well written and with a wonderful cast of characters, then this is the book for you.

If your looking for a book for Christmas either for yourself or as a stocking filler. This is the Christmas girlie read. It is an ok read . Thank you to NetGalley and HQ Digital for my ARC of this book. In exchange for an honest , unbiased review.

I wasn't entirely happy with how women are portrayed - from the crazy side character love rival who was manipulative and stalkerish to the main characters who were supposed to be concentrating on themselves and friendship but it was ALL about the men. There really was a nice friendship between the 3 women, but all too often their love life took priority over that friendship.

The writing style didn't appeal to me either with a lot of telling rather than showing.

It was however a quick, easy read with lots of festive atmosphere. If you're looking for a fluffy, light hearted, romantic read then this might be for you.

This was a fun festive read about three friends who unexpectedly find themselves to be single as Christmas approaches. The three friends all work together, and traditionally go to their works Christmas party with their partners and make best friend. This year, they make a vow to celebrate being single and attend the party as happy single women. As the party approches, they find it difficult to keep their promise to each other.
This was an easy and enjoyable read. The characters were people who you could relate too, howver, I thought that they moved on very quickly and the ending was predictable. Despite this, it is a good book, and there is a focus on supporting family and friends, and forgiveness. It is a lovely book to read at Christmas.

A lovely festive story
Its the story of three friends Rachel Grace and Amber. Who are all at different stages of their relationships but are all having problems.

Its definitely a must read and a great book from the author I have already purchased the authors other books and can't wait to get reading!

A good light hearted, seasonal, romantic read about three friends and co-workers, Rachel, Grace and Amber. As Christmas approaches they should all be feeling happy, but when Rachel finds out that her boyfriend isn’t going to propose, but instead wishes to break up with her, things start to unravel for the trio of friends. Grace begins to question whether she is getting all that she wants from her marriage and Amber, who has always been happily single, is shocked by the engagement of her long-standing best friend, Jack, to a young and beautiful woman.
What will become of the three of them? ‘Tis it really the season to be single?
Thanks to NetGalley for a Kindle copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

A nice cosy, Christmas read. thank you for the opportunity to review this title. I will look or for more from this author in future

This was an ok read but just nothing special. I found myself struggling to get the motivation to continue to reading. The characters grated on me a bit, and I just didn’t feel Christmassy either. I have read one of the authors previous books and enjoyed it a lot more than this one.

Full of romance and heartbreak. Centred around 3 friends Grace, Rachel and Amber.
A delightful read

When I read that this book was perfect for fans of Lindsey Kelk, I quickly clicked the 'Request' button on Netgalley. I'd just finished a novel by Lindsey and loved it, so couldn't wait to read what this novel was going to be like. I'd never read nor heard of Laura Ziepe before seeing this novel, but I was intrigued and looking forward to giving it a go. The cover appealed to me too, it was simple but effective and I liked the use of all three women on the cover, looking like they're having a great time. I also like the little mistletoe branches, the little touches on this cover really make a big difference.

When the story started, boy did it start. We start off with Rachel at work, her work friend persuading her that Rachel's boyfriend Mark was going to propose to her - what else could he want to talk about? However, when Rachel got home, we realise it was completely different to what she first initially thought. And I felt instantly sorry for Rachel. It's one thing being dumped when you thought you were going to get engaged, but to be cheated on with your 'best-friend' is an entirely different ball game!

When we meet Grace and Amber, I am suitably feeling for them too! All three ladies appear to be going through extremely different situations with their love life but all three of them stick together and promise to enjoy their single life. They make a pact to all attend the work Christmas ball single, but can they keep it up and actually do as they've promised? It was an exciting read and I loved it. It was fairly festive with humour throughout. Some parts had me feeling a tad emotional too! I will definitely be looking out for more novels by this author in the future.

Thank you to the publisher for a chance to read this novel, which I have reviewed honestly.

This is a first for me by this author.

You have three main characters...

Rachel is in shock. She was sure that her boyfriend was about to propose – not break up with her! Even worse, it turns out he’s been cheating on her!

Grace can’t bear the thought of spending another Christmas with her lazy, unappreciative husband. Surely it’s time to shake things up a bit?

Amber knows she should be happy that her best friend Jack is getting married, but there’s a little part of her that can’t help think ‘it was always meant to be me’!

With Christmas fast approaching, surely there’s no better time to be single – yet will the three friends manage to keep their promise and ban all men until the New Year?

A story of heartbreak, romance, discovery and friendships, with lots of twists and turns.
Can people really be happy single or do they really want romance?

This had me hooked form the first page... I couldn't put it down and look forward to reading more of this author's work.

Thank-You Netgalley for my ARC.

I have never heard of this author before but had seen the book advertised a lot of Facebook and looked really good and didn't key me down at all simply brilliant had me hooked from the first page and I didn't want to pit it down. Full of heartbreak but also romance and finding out what it's like to be single with your friends. Can people be happy single or do they want romance. Has a lot about friendship as well and a great read worth far more than the five stars.
It is based around three main characters you have.:

Rachel who lives in a flat above where her mum lives and she grew up she's single but has a very good friend who is male but she comes back from a holiday and learns that Jack is engaged to Natalya how does she react to this or is it that she learns she has fallen in love with Jack but doesn't want to tell him and ruin a friendship. Is Natalaya right for him or is she jealous of the friendship Jack has with Amber. What can Amber do for the best and when she meets someone she hasn't seen for years she needs to decide what is right for her.

Grace has been with Simon for years but feel the spark has gone so she decides they split and he's not happy and says he will change but can he. He starts trying to prove he has changed but she keeps him a secret from everyone but can they decide to be together for ever or not.

Rachel learns her husband and best friend have been having an affair for a long time and she is so upset she moves out and decides she's off men but when she has an accident with another car and gorgous Nick is there can she be happy with him or is he hiding something and can she forgive him and move forward or not.

While all three girls are single they all make a pact they will go to the Christmas work ball single but can they all do this in the end or not as can they share their new lives off. Can all three girls be happy single or married.

A simply Devine read and so recommend anyone to read it. I was so enchanted by the who story. Now want to read more by the same author.
