A Magical New York Christmas was a sweet holiday romance and it really did feel magical! Set at the Plaza Hotel during Christmas, Sabrina is down to her last bit of money and it set to work a job ghostwriting a memoir on a well-known art collector. This job meant that she would be staying at the plaza during this time and lo and behold would end up meeting Ian! Ian was a secretary to wealthy Spencer Braxton. Sabrina meets Ian and they both end up assuming incorrectly about each others’ social and financial status. They are so sweet together and instantly form a connection that regardless of white lies, will be hard to break. Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the arc of this book. All opinions expressed are my own. 4 stars! |

This is truly a magical Christmas story. An English lord, the plaza hotel, two people who fall in love and many other romantic couples. You will love this book! |
A Magical New York Christmas will put you right into the holiday spirit, and transport you back in time to the Plaza Hotel! Another fantastic novel by Anita Hughes. A romantic holiday love story like no other, and a highly recommended festive read. |

This is a cozy romantic story to read anytime for fun. It is innovative in that it goes back in time and mentions so many famous people. I don’t usuallynlike this type of story but it was quite intriguing. Just a fun clean nice read...enjoy... |
Oh what a delight!! I couldn’t put this magical story down! Everything about it was perfection. I was completely absorbed in every character’s story. The Plaza is like a character in itself that hosts many special moments. A magical story, in the perfect location during the most special time of year makes this book 5 stars!! |
Thank you Netgalley for this ARC copy. Anita Hughes to me is synonymous with a winter/holiday book. She out did herself with A Magical New York Christmas. This is a sweet love story with the famous Plaza Hotel as a backdrop. Sabrina and Ian’s story is a good one. What I loved is being a tourist in New York during Christmas - it seemed truly magical. What made this story really fun was the fictional background of Sabrina’s job and learning small insights about the author of Eloise. Such a fun twist! It’s a story you can re-read every year. |
Any novel with the plaza in NYC at Christmas gets me every time! I read this out of the Christmas season (going into spring), it brought me right back into the cozy holiday season mindset which was fun. Sabrina, was a really lovely character (although I do wish there was more backstory to the character). The timeline jumps made for an interesting plot, along with the charming nods to everything NYC. Sabrina's entanglement with Ian was a romantic /sweet. Thank you for this arc! |
