출판사 설명
Enjoy this laugh-out-loud, steamy romance series by multi-award-winning romantic comedy author Evie Alexander…
Leo Foxbrooke is Ella Chamberlain's best friend, her rock, and the one person who is absolutely, 100% off-limits.
Kind, charming, and unfairly gorgeous, he's the heart of Foxbrooke Manor. Meanwhile, she's the girl who just got dumped, lost her apartment, and landed on his doorstep days before Christmas, looking like the ghost of bad decisions past.
Moving into his family's fairytale home is supposed to be her chance to regroup, not lose her heart. But then she ends up in the room right next to his and somehow gets roped into the town Christmas play as his Cinderella. Those 'practice kisses' on stage? They're setting her world on fire.
Leo's always been her steady, unshakable constant. The one person she can count on, no matter what. But risking everything to follow the spark growing between them? That could cost her the one thing she can't live without – him.
Christmas off Script is a messy, magical, and oh-so-spicy story of risking it all for love – perfect for fans of Pippa Grant, Lauren Blakely, Rosa Lucas, Annika Martin, Kayley Loring, and Lucy Score! If you're looking for festive fun, fiery chemistry, and a guaranteed happy ending, this standalone romcom is the perfect holiday escape!

My New Favorite Friends to Lovers Romance
Right off the bat, I appreciated Alexander’s description of pantomime for her readers outside the UK. While I had heard references to this, I had never known what it truly was, so this helped immensely with some added context.
My only regret with reading this getting this book early was that because I was reading it early November, I read it before it felt like it was properly the Christmas season. This book is a perfect way to get into the spirit, with Ella and Leo’s preparations for the holidays (especially their multiple “starts”) feeling like two people who have managed to hold on to their childlike enthusiasm for Christmas (even while making and drinking limoncello). I suppose that just means that I’ll have to do a reread closer to Christmas so I can fully appreciate the same joy they do.
I really loved the humor in this book. Alexander has managed to make each of the Foxbrooke novels unique, with diverse characters that have their own distinctive personalities. I enjoyed both Ella and Leo (especially Leo) being goofy and silly and fun. Just as Leo points out, so many romance heroes are tall, dark and broody, but it can also be nice for the MMC to be the sunshine type. I loved seeing how their relationship grew and changed from friends to lovers and appreciated how Alexander showed some of the difficulties of that transition.
Along with the silliness of Ella and Leo, there are all of antics of the family patriarch. Arthur’s innuendos, costume demands and goading his children to give him grandkids always make me laugh. Between him in these Foxbrooke novels, some of the other parents in this series, and the parents in the Kinloch series, I feel that Evie Alexander really knows how to relieve some tension (or sometimes add some humorous tension) with how she writes the parental units.
I was once again given the opportunity to read this next installment of the Foxbrooke series ahead of pub day and I’m so glad to have been able to get this chance because I enjoyed it so much.
