A cute well written story that I enjoyed reading. Sadie and famous artist Damian Banks her boss' story and everything they go through, it all starts with a Post-it-note message from someone called Adam. This is a new Author to me, I will be looking for more by her.

Stuc k on You is my first book by the author and won’t be my last for sure. It’s was full of fun moments and interesting, reliable characters, with that close family and friends feelings that many of us may just dream of but a heartwarming story overall.

This was great fun to read. I loved Sadie! I loved her voice and her humour, and there were some moments in this book that had me chuckling out loud. Not only that, but there was a lovely twist towards the end, too.

5 stars out of 5 for me for this book!!! I don't give a 5 stars to a book easily but this one definitely deserves it!!! Oh wow, I loved reading this book so much!!!! It's such a unique book with such a different plot. Never seen one like that before and i read a LOT of chicklit books before. So it was a nice change and the romance in this book is just incredible!!!!! I totally recommand this book! You will love it! It's a page turner and it's a perfect Christmas read!

The romance was just okay, but I did really enjoy the Christmas elements. The family went all out with a week of celebrations that included a friendly contest to see who could deliver the most Christma cards, going to the cinema to watch It's a Wonderful Life in their pajamas, and visiting a village all dressed like Charles Dickens characters. A light, fluffy book celebrating the joys of Christmas and family.

It's not often that I come across a book that truly grabs me from the first scene. Stuck On You, though, did exactly that - if anything, the opening scene was described so vividly, that I had the impression I was reading a movie.That feeling came back quite often, whether it be through the almost fairy-like description of Sadie's home town or some of the quotes that were so sassy, or so relatable that I had to go back and reread them. Sometimes Stuck On You went plain old meta - referring to itself exactly as that: almost a movie. Throughout all that, though, it's the friendship between Sadie and her boss, Damian, that wouldn't let me go. Both of these characters were so relatable, likeable, occasionally flawed... But ultimately: so good for each other. The only downside? The ending felt a bit rushed, and honestly was weaker than the first 97% of the book. Although, again: that might just be because I wasn't ready to let go of the story and its characters.

I've never met a Portia MacIntosh book I didn't like, and this is yet another stormer. 

I will admit to having some kind of inkling what would happen by about 40pc in, but the journey was still a lovely read. I loved Sadie, her family, and the little area of Yorkshire she grew up in.

The Christmas traditions in Sadie's hometown were a particular highlight for me. I'm not sure if Dickins Day is my thing, but the Christmas Eve film tradition is something I would absolutely love to steal. 

Damian took a LOT for me to warm to him. He's not portrayed in a positive light AT ALL at the beginning of this book, and I'm sure this was done specifically to make us warm more to Sadie. Mission accomplished.

This was such an enjoyable book. Especially for me, someone who is involved in the art world and knows what it can be like. There was a good old will they/won't they tug of war, enough twists and turns to keep me on my toes, and a very satisfying ending. I could happily read it all over again.

Portia Macintosh is a brilliant writer that left me in such a great mood days after reading this book which I could not put down. I was swooning, laughing and enjoying this fun read. 

Stuck On You was not only a heartwarming, fun, sexy, and a romantic read, but it was also so adorable and so creative. Macintosh wrote such amazing characters in this story - I loved each one of them from Sadie to Adam and Damien, their meet cute through post-it notes, and the whole cast of characters - they were absolutely endearing and so enjoyable to read. This book was so well written and the plot so amazing. 

This book had me longing for a British Christmas holiday which was a great escape from the heat and fires here in California. 

I highly recommend this book for a fabulous rom-com with a fun twist you will love and swoon over.

Loved this book! I was captivated from start. Perfect read. Funny, light hearted and engaging. I was really rooting for Sadie throughout. The seasonal content is magical but this book could make you happy all year round. Highly recommended. 

Thank you Netgalley

A wonderful, funny, feel good book. Read it in a day, didn’t want to put it down as I wanted to know what   Sadie’s  boss expected to do next and how her friendship with Mr post it note progresses

I thoroughly enjoyed this light, amusing romcom which sped by. Sadie and her family are completely likeable and there is a great contrast between her life in London and back home. Christmas with her family has a heart-warming and welcoming feel and all the festive activities bring a smile to your face. There are some genuinely funny moments and sparky dialogue between the characters and you really feel you know them.
In both Sadie and Damien, you can see a degree of character development in the story which is completely credible. The more you find out about Damien's family, in particular, the more you understand him. However, as you learn, not everything can be taken at face value. Indeed, Damien is a little hard to size up at first but you get a hunch about him and it is quite amusing to see the story pan out. With some surprises and a will they, won't they plot, it is a lovely, festive read.
In short: Christmas cheer and lots of romance.
Thanks to the publisher for a copy of the book

(I don’t know how to write a review for this one without giving away a few things)

I really enjoyed reading Sadie’s story and seeing her get closer to Damian over the holidays. She’s got such a fun personality that it is very easy to like her. She’s struggling a little in her job – it’s unfulfilling and not what she is looking for long term but when she gets the chance at something different, will she take it? How will it impact her flirty relationship with her deskmate? And how will she handle spending Christmas with her boss knowing that she’s quitting her job?

Sadie’s family and the community’s Christmas celebrations are just the absolute best. They are so quirky and lovable and have me ready to move so I can be adopted by them ASAP. The way they open their home and embrace Damian is wonderful and it allows him to set aside some of his worries, to relax and reconnect with himself. And to develop a deeper relationship with Sadie. Maybe address a few things that need to be put to rest so everyone can find a happy place.

As much as I liked the characters and the majority of the book, I have to be honest that I didn’t love (or understand) the first third or so of this book. I don’t know if it was there to give us a feeling for Damian and his relationship to Sadie, but it felt kinda unnecessary. Once they agree to spend the holidays together in her hometown, though, things definitely take a turn towards the awesome.  There’s humor and feels and enough holiday magic to make you smile.

A cute, cosy and quick read. The families were adorable. Nice slice of life perspective. The romance was cute and the writing flowed nicely. One complaint would be the title isn’t the best choice.

This is a laugh out loud, traditional but not even close to boring, romcom that should be handed out to every romcom lover. Who knew a post it could hold such weight in how jobs are done, communication is handled, and dates are made. RUN don’t walk to buy this book!

I’m going to start by saying I absolutely loved this book. As a fan of the author I’ve read a fair few now and this is probably my favourite. I couldn’t put it down. So entertaining and fun, a perfect read to cosy up with an escape the outside world.

I love a book with something quirky to entertain us – the post it relationship between Sadie and Adam is that perfect something. Mystery and the hint of a blind date style romance is really entertaining, I looked forward to the next Adam note, although I had suspicions about him and did wonder what would happen if the two were to actually meet.

Sadie is such a lovely character and I warmed to her straight away. Her boss, Damian sounds like a nightmare to work for, at first I really wasn’t sure what to expect from him or if I would warm to him. I’m really pleased that by the end my thoughts on him were completely different and I was a fan of his.

A real turning point is when Sadie and Damian go to her family home for Christmas. Its so cosy and fun sounding, I wish my Christmas entailed all the fun and merriment they have in that community. We see a definite change in the relationship between the characters during this time and see that actually what Sadie needs is in front of her.

I can’t recommend enough, wonderful cosy, heart warming moments, gorgeous characters and a real festive feel.

The Blurb :
Could a post-it note really lead to love...?
Sadie doesn't have time for finding love. She's too busy as PA for famous artist Damian Banks. When she's not arranging exhibitions, she's organising his dry cleaning or dumping his never ending stream of girlfriends.
But when she strikes up an unusual friendship with her desk share buddy, she finds a confidante and a new potential love interest. Problem is, they've never actually met...
With Christmas just around the corner, can Sadie put herself first for a change and find what she's been looking for all along?


My Thoughts :
Never one to turn down one of Portia MacIntosh’s books. This once again was a winner with me.
We meet Sadie, who works part tine for top photographer Damian Banks. Her job is not all honey when she is treated as someone who does his dirty work more than an employee.
The bonus part of her job is sharing the job and desk with Adam, who she has never met but have a great time exchanging post it notes. But things arent as they seem.
When Sadie ends up with her boss over Christmas at her parents house in Hope Island, she has a change of heart and starts to see the real Damian Banks.
Will there be a Christmas Romance in the cards or will Sadie be glad to see the back of her boss.
Author Portia, has a way to draw the reader into her stories, and Stuck On You was no exception.
I loved Sadie and Damien as charactors, and we are left guessing throughout, with a twist that I saw coming.
A real joy from start to finish, this book is heartwarming and festive, with lots of funny parts to be had that will have you in the mood for Christmas to come. Can not wait for her next book.

This was a fun, sweet romance read which I really enjoyed. 

The story is about Sadie who works as PA for Damian and who desk shares with Zack. I must say that I loved the post-it's back and forth between. I was very quickly hooked in to the story. I did kind of guess the plot fairly early into the story but that didn't spoil the read for me. It had a good pace and I found it to be a quick read. I got hooked into in the garden sunshine. 

Fans of Flat-share will love this as this had very similar vibes with a christmas twist added in.
