Can't-Wait
Wednesday is
a weekly meme hosted here, at Wishful
Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about
that we have yet to read. Generally they're books that have
yet to be released. It's based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the
fabulous Jill at Breaking
the Spine.
If you're continuing with WOW, feel free to link those up as well!

I
don't particularly like Christmas but I do enjoy reading stories
based around the festive time of the year. Lauren Layne is one of my
go-to authors because I love her brand of romantic comedy. It's
subtle humour rather than slap-stick (which I really dislike) and her
protagonists are usually intelligent although that doesn't excuse any
bad behaviour (wink)

When
a psychic tells spunky, superstitious Kelly Byrne that she’s
already met her true love, she becomes obsessed with the idea of
tracking him down before Christmas. Kelly immediately writes up an
“Ex List” and starts contacting old boyfriends to figure out
which one is the one. When her college sweetheart rolls into town,
Kelly convinces herself that they’re meant to be. The trouble is,
sparks are flying with someone she’s never given a chance: her best
friend, Mark.
Mark Blakely has watched the guys on Kelly’s list break her heart, and he’s not looking forward to watching them do it all over again. Mark’s always been there for her, but the timing’s never worked out for their relationship to be something more. Now, just as Mark is ready to move on, the sexual tension between them is suddenly off the charts. With Christmas morning around the corner, he just hopes Kelly will wake up and realize that everything she wants has been right in front of her all along.
