Christmas off Script

This book is a warm hug I think everyone needs. Our main female character Ella is a beautiful, strong and caring woman who honestly does everything for everyone else. Living a real life Cinderella situation with the most unbearable step mother as well as step sisters, Ella finds herself out of her home after a harsh break up.

The story includes some of the funniest lines I have ever read, honestly I was howling! A pantomime was everything I have ever needed in a romance book. As always Arthur was a star in this book and just gave it so much life and humor. Leo’s character was a heartfelt man who just truly was in absolute love with Ella from the start.

As always Evie delivered the steamiest spicy scenes with so much love and passion. One of my favourite things about Evie’s writing is the realism used there is no super crazy expectations in bed! It feels so real, like I’m gossiping with Ella and she’s telling me all about it! Evie’s writing never fails to impact my life in every way possible. This book does not disappoint, as someone who really is not a Christmas girlie this was fantastic and my new staple of a Christmas book to read each year! Wow what a fantastic instalment in the foxbrooke series! 5 star Goodreads review from Sophie 

Friends to lovers is one of the best romantic tropes and this book delivers the bestest of best friends to fexiest of fexy lovers.

I love a good fairy tale retelling and this is a classic Cinderella retelling that features a story within a story - the pantomime mirroring real life throughout the novel.

I absolutely love a good Holiday read; this one is full of the Holiday spirit. There are so many Christmas and British Holiday traditions, along with Ella and Leo traditions. I'd never heard of a Christmas Quiz before this book. 5 star Goodreads review from Rachel

This is such a fun book, very enjoyable. The baddy, the ex and the always there best friend, a love story written in the stars, she finds her happy ending has been right under her nose all the time.

I fully recommend this book to others

If I could have given it more than 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I would, that’s how much I enjoyed reading it 5 star Goodreads review from Ellen

Every time I'm lucky enough to get my hands on a new book by Evie, I know that I'm in for a treat!

This is the fifth book in the Foxbrooke series and I've read and loved all of the others so far.....but oh my word! I didn't think I could love any one book more than the others, but combining the usual inimitable style that I've come to love with a Christmas theme just made this the best one ever!!

The Foxbrooke family are all out in force which was an absolute joy.

Preparing for Christmas and planning the panto made for the perfect festive backdrop to Ella and Leo's story.

Evie's books are always packed with humour but I honestly didn't stop giggling throughout this one. Cheesy cracker jokes, Christmas puns, hilarious panto lines and props (yes Arthur, I'm looking at you here!) are just some of the gifts in store.

Mirroring the panto story with Ella's real life backstory was just genius and I just couldn't help falling in love with her and root for things to come good in the end.

With the usual inclusion of pitfalls and super spicy scenes along the way - you'll have to read to find out how things develop!?

I absolutely cannot do this book justice in my meagre words but all I can say is that if you haven't already read this series - go grab them all now!

You will not be sorry!!

I could not put this book down and devoured it in just 2 sittings. I'm actually so upset it's ended and honestly cannot wait to get hold of the next book.

In the meantime, I'm definitely going to be re-reading this one again and again! I'm obsessed! 5 star Goodreads review from Sonja

Book five in the Foxbrooke series and things are as bonkers as ever. This is a great Christmas book, following the story of Cinderella but in two ways. For Ella our heroine this is in her 'real' life with a nasty stepmother and two horrid step sisters, but also in her theatrical life where she is playing Cinderella in a pantomime.

I'm pleased to say Arthur Foxbrooke is as eccentric as ever and has some hilarious ideas about his part in the panto but also some great one liners.

This book will get you in the Christmas mood,

Now this book can be read as a stand alone but I would seriously suggest that you read the other books in this series at some point as you are missing out on a really great set of books.

As ever with this author there are some seriously hot sex scenes, really well written and they don't dominate the story but enhance it. If you are of a sensitive nature then you may find them a bit graphic for your liking, but I loved them. You may need a cold shower standing by!

I've really enjoyed this visit to Foxbrooke and look forward to more books in this series. The author writes in such an easy to access style that you might find yourself reading until the wee hours of the morning and not realising it, (ahem), just to finish the book as you will be so invested in this story. 5 star Goodreads review from Sarah H

Absolutely delightful Christmas romp.

It is official. I love Foxbrooke and the entire Foxbrooke family. Book 5 of the series gives us Leo Foxbrooke's story. His friends-to-lovers tale with BFF(FFFFF) Ella was absolutely delightful. They are both sweet and gorgeous characters with a long lasting special friendship and an intense love of all things Christmas. Set prior to Christmas, amidst rehearsals for the pantomime 'Cinderella', Evie milks Christmas for all it is worth, and I loved every minute of it. There is plenty of angst, hilarity, swoon and spice, with over the top characters (both delightful and despicable), ridiculous situations, festive puns a plenty, and a whole lot of FUN. I loved that it all takes place in and around Foxbrooke Manor, where I could wallow in all the Foxbrooke eccentricity and sweetness, and the happily ever after was perfection. My new 'must-read' festive favourite. 5 star Goodreads review from Sarah O

Oh. My. Goodness. 🎄 "Christmas Off Script" by Evie Alexander is an absolute festive gem, and I'm completely in love with it! 😍 I've adored all of Evie's books, but this one? Am I allowed to have faves? Because I think this is it. Evie has totally nailed it with this friends-to-lovers story. 💕

Usually, I'm a bit hesitant when it comes to that trope, but Evie has worked her magic again! ✨ I fell head over heels for Leo and Ella. Leo is an absolute darling. 😘 He's hilarious and just so loveable. Everyone needs a Leo in their life. Ella is such a sweetie. 🍭 She's had a horrid upbringing with her evil stepmother and criminal father, but she's still a ray of sunshine. ☀️ Nothing is ever too much. The best kind of friend anyone could have. And, oh my, the chemistry between them is just *chef’s kiss* 😘! I loved how their relationship unfolded. It felt so real, so natural, and I was rooting so hard for them. 🙌

The pantomime scenes were utterly hilarious. 🎭 I've been going to pantos since I was three and really this was one of the funniest scripts ever. I was in stitches reading it. 😂

This book is Christmas perfection and will leave you with the biggest smile on your face!! 😁 I can’t recommend it enough! Buy it and read it ASAP! 📚✨ 5 star Goodreads review from Margaret

A Christmas themed book by one of my favourite authors? It doesn’t get any better than this! This book was everything I hoped it would be and more! It was an absolute joy from start to finish. I was laughing and smiling so much! An instant mood booster and such a sweet escape!

As with all of Evie’s books, her writing is so vivid and lively that I could see every scene playing out in my mind. There is so much spice and lots of laughs too! The ending was perfect! It gave me chills and I couldn’t stop smiling! 5 star Goodreads review from Lindsey
