A lovely feel good read set in the town's local theatre where you get to meet the wonderful Samantha who adores working at the theatre. 

This is a book that will make you laugh and break your heart in equal measures. Samantha is very ordered and can find communicating with men in particular really difficult. When the new ice act comes to town, the male lead skater is drop dead gorgeous and sends her into a total tail spin. 

A book that I loved reading as just wanted to see if Samantha could make her dreams come true both at work and personally.

Just couldn't stand the main lead's house than thou attitude and all the judging that went along with it.

This was such a cute book! This was the first book I've read from this author and I really enjoyed it. The story was different from anything I've read recently and really captured my attention. It was so well written and the characters were fantastic.

Goodness this is lovely! Mandy Baggot is so good at the balance of humour, romance and more serious issues making reading her books such a wonderful experience. This is another great story with strong and relatable characters and some real laughs. I was completely on the side of the heroine, loved the setting of the story and the interplay between characters, I read this in one sitting as it was so magical.

This book was so much more than I thought it would be. while it did have some very cute romantic moments there were still some heavy topics discussed. If you're looking for a quick, fast read with some romance and a little bit of real-life this is a good read for you! I know I enjoyed my time reading it.

I found some of the book repetitive, but its an enjoyable story all the same. The main character has a very quirky personality and funny ways to express her anxieties, which can be a bit full on., but amusing. Its definitely worth picking up and trying for yourself.

I really warmed to the characters in this book, Samantha was so shy, while her domineering sister Chloe was annoying. Samantha is passionate about her job, despite her horrible boss, the Civic Hall is her passion. The way she acts in front of Jimmy Lloyd, the famous skater, is both funny and heart-warming at the same time. A real feel-good book, with you willing Samantha to shine through.

I wasn't too keen on this for some reason. I've read Mandy's books before and loved them, but this didn't hi the spot. It took me a while to get in to it and I need to love a book from the off

When routine-driven box office assistant, Samantha Smith, meets the stars of Skating on Broadway her life is turned upside down. This is a cute book but I just never really connected with Samantha. In fact she drove me crazy most of the book. I think that most people will love it though!

Samantha Smith is the most unlikely heroine. She’s the younger of two sisters but while Cleo is vivacious and outgoing Sam is a lover of routine, of old black and white movies and is happiest with her nose buried in a book. Her life revolves her job as box office assistant at the Civic Centre where like many small local theatres she is a jack of all trades selling tickets, ordering (and over ordering!) ice creams and selling programmes and confectionary at the shows.

The latest show at the Civic Centre is an ice dancing show called Skating on Broadway. When Sam comes face to face with celebrity skater Jimmy Lloyd she finds herself immediately attracted to him and struggles with embarrassment, panic attacks and shyness. She’s not known for her prowess with the opposite sex and now that it means something to her it makes it even harder. Jimmy has a few issues himself but sees something in Sam that makes her really hard to set aside.

Having been a customer at many a small theatre in our capital and around the country I found myself reminiscing about past visits and the amazing staff that keep them going. This book is a joyous recreation of a small business at the heart of its community that finds itself under threat because of a withdrawal of funding. Sound familiar? It is the plight of small theatres all over the world.

This reprint by Aria brings One Night on Ice to a brand new audience and will delight and entertain readers.

Samantha is an awkward, shy young woman who doesn't realize her worth.  This quick, quirky, story keeps you intertained and leaves you rooting for everyone.  I started and finished it within 24 hours and enjoyed each page.  Many thanks to NetGalley and Aria for allowing my to pre-read this book.

If you like Hallmark Christmas movies, you'll enjoy One Night on Ice. 

Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

Mandy has done it again, I don’t think she has ever written a book that I didn’t adore and melted me. I loved Samantha shy and awkward, coming to grow with help from Jimmy. A festive fun read full of cute characters, a really heartwarming read. A wonderful seasonal read.

One Night on Ice by Mandy Baggot was a fun and festive read. Shy and nervous Samantha works as a box office assistant at Civic Hall. When the box office features a ice skating show she meets the ever so charming and star of the show, Jimmy. Jimmy skating into Samantha's life turns it upside down. Jimmy challengers her and she slowly turns from the timid girl she once was to a confident woman. 

This was the first story I read from Mandy Baggot. The first thing that drew me in was the cover. I think it is beautiful and festive. I love a great Christmas story and this one was no different. ​I will confess I did find the story to move at a slower pace than I would have liked, but it starts to pick up in the middle, and I was hooked.

When I first starting reading, I didn't love Samantha. I thought it was a bit dramatic how she reacted to first meeting Jimmy. Maybe it is just me, but it didn't seem necessary. By the middle of the story, I was rooting for her. I loved how Jimmy challenged her and helped build her confidence. As for Jimmy, I thought his character was delightful. The author did a great job at writing his character and his personality shined through. Let me just say we could have done without Samantha's sister Cloe. She is mean and I disliked her character. 

Overall, I would give this novel 4 stars. It is a nice, festive read for the holiday season. The story was well written, and I will be checking out other stories by this author.

A rather humdrum romance, featuring a rather awkward heroine. Samantha is so uncomfortable around men, it is almost painful. to read.  I found the story was very slow moving.    .

A winter tale that warms the heart which is full of hope and love. Always an uplifting and heartwarming read. Perfect novel coup!ed with hot chocolate.

Loved this book. Great characters, easy read, uplifting, funny, romantic and charming. A really nice story that is the perfect escapist read.

One night on Ice by Mandy Baggot has been published previously under a different name.  I wasn’t aware of this until I read someone else’s review.
Samantha is a box office assistant at the local Civic Hall. She is dedicated at her job, but her boss treats her like a dog’s body and is a leach. She spends all day running all over the place. She is very insecure and suffers from Anxiety and is so completely different to her sister Cleo who she lives with. Until an Ice show starts at the Civic hall where she meets the lead skater Jimmy Lloyd. He turns her life upside down and turns her from the shy girl into a confident one. He makes her do things that she wouldn’t normally do. She slowly falls in love with him. But her sister thinks that she is with a guy called Darren because her sister wouldn’t believe her if she told the truth.
Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book. I have always loved Mandy Baggot books when they come out. One night on ice is a slow burner of a story and I found at first hard to connect to begin with. So, slow I thought of giving up. But I am I am glad that I kept on as it was an ok read.  Not the best from this author. I felt it didn’t have that ‘spark’ that Mandy’s books usually have. 3 stars from me.

I love Mandy Baggot's writing, and this is a brilliant wintery read which was perfect for this time of year. I highly recommend it to anybody who wants a great Christmas story who will become a firm favourite.
