Chick Lit Winter Warmer - 'Something From Tiffany's'- Melissa Hill

I'm very sorry to say with the general excitement of Christmas taking over, I didn't do a very good job of keeping my Chick Lit Advent Calendar up to date! This is not to say I haven't been reading though....... I have. In true January style, my New Year's Resolution is to make sure I review every single book I have read. I am going to start with some of the books I initially bought as part of my Advent Calendar - simply because they can still be read even though the decorations have been packed away.
They are no longer my festive favourites, but my Chick Lit Winter Warmers - guaranteed to help you through January with a smile :)












First up is 'Something From Tiffany's' by Melissa Hill.





This is probably the book I was the most excited about reading. The front cover has the famous Little Blue Box spilling out some Tiffany's magic and I just couldn't wait to get stuck in!


The story starts in New York - and more importantly - Tiffany's. Here we meet the two men of the story and the little twists start almost straight away.
We have Ethan who is buying the most famous piece of Tiffany's jewellery of all for his Girlfriend Vanessa. Accompanied by Daisy, his daughter, he wants to make sure the engagement ring is perfect.
At the other end of the scale, we have Gary. Gary is on holiday in New York courtesy of his long-suffering Girlfriend, Rachel.
On realising he hasn't bought Rachel any sort of Christmas gift, he rushes to Tiffany's and buys her a charm bracelet.
The men leave Tiffany's - but unfortunately for Gary he walks straight into the path of a Taxi. Ethan and Daisy are first on the scene, tending to Gary and making sure his shopping doesn't get stolen.
The next morning, Ethan realises his good deed has ended up costing him £20,000. The engagement ring is missing, and in it's place is a charm bracelet.
In a hotel room elsewhere in New York, Rachel finds the very ring in Gary's carrier bags. Oblivious to what has happened, and out of hospital, Gary uses the ring to propose to his shell shocked girlfriend.
Ethan doesn't want to admit to the error and, along with Daisy, he sets to work on retrieving the ring in ways only a man would!
A story of romance, sadness, humour and what can only be described as a grown up fairytale follows.
Ethan wants to make Daisy happy and give her the family she deserves after her mother (and the love of Ethan's life) passed away. He genuinely thinks Vanessa is the woman for the job..... but as the search for the Tiffany's magic continues, he starts to realise he may have made a mistake.
Rachel is blissfully happy wearing her rock and to the dismay of her friends, continues pandering to lazy Gary's every need.
As part of his plan to retrieve the ring, Ethan forms a friendship with Rachel - watched by her best friend and business partner, Terri.
The friendship blossoms over dinner and both Ethan and Rachel question their own relationships.
It's not long before the ring goes missing from the restaurant Rachel owns and the story really takes off - with lots of little twists to keep it moving quickly.
(my personal favourite? The passengers of the taxi which knocked Gary over......)

Fate steps in and helps romance to give the book an unexpected, but very happy ending.
Fairytale Tiffany's magic is sprinkled throughout - I really wouldn't expect anything less from the book with the magic blue box on the front cover.
