RRR presents... Escape to the Swiss Chalet by Carrie Walker - REVIEW!


Life can sure throw you for a loop, but with today's featured title, you might be rather thankful for that step off course. Ladies and gents, today we're playing host to another tour courtesy of Rachel’s Random Resources and it stars a Contemporary Romance with a dash of Romcom that's sure to please. So, if you're ready, let's hit the slopes as we make way for today's ebook of choice...



Escape to the Swiss Chalet
by
Carrie Walker


About the book...
A SWEET and FUNNY romantic comedy for readers of Sandy Barker and Mandy Baggot.

When your life goes off-piste how do you climb back up the mountain?

Holly Roberts is well-known among family and friends for despising the cold, so no one is more surprised than her when she agrees to pack her bags and move to the Swiss Alps. But after getting her heart broken, spending the winter season working as a sous-chef for wealthy twins Genevieve and gorgeous Luca, is exactly what the doctor ordered.

Verbier is home to millionaires and Holly has never felt more out of place in the snow-capped wooden chalet. Thankfully new friends, chalet girl Liv and chef Xavier are there to be her guide in this new world of après-ski and fondue, and to teach her how to get off chair lifts! And then there is Luca... rich, handsome, kind but what is the catch?

She just wanted to escape her problems but could she get her HE after all?

Omg. I so felt for Holly!
When first we meet, she's in prep mode for her upcoming wedding in a few weeks, and the person that says combining two lives into one household isn't work, has never been through it or helped someone else through it...but I digress.  That work is going to a HEA end goal, so of course it's worth it... but what if it doesn't? What if the person that was the man of your dreams all of a sudden calls it quits? Let me set the scene a little better...*ahem*... he decides to share of all this ON YOUR WEDDING DAY.  Yeah. Anyone else's jaw drop, or maybe you're getting the pitchforks ready to storm the proverbial castle? As well as she takes it, and it's not pretty, I think I'd be way worse... just not certain in what direction 😅. Anyway...

I applaud Holly's plan to regroup, even if it wasn't truly her own idea. I deny the use of common sense when she still kept a shred of hope it'd all turn around, or that keeping in touch in any fashion was the way to go. I grimaced when Luca was working his charm on her because honestly, I just wanted to slug him for being a two face jerk... one moment ALL THE ATTENTION, the next TOTAL DISAPPEARING ACT. There's more to share there, but I'll let you snuffle it out. I laughed at Liv's antics and instant friendship status, and wanted more between Xavier and Holly before there was ever a moment for it to happen.

By book's end, though Holly may not have the best instincts when it comes to guys, she may have just found her best match, once upon THIS time.
