Praise for Rachel Greenlaw and One Christmas Morning
Haunting, magical and sparkling with Christmas spirit, One Christmas Morning is a festive love story with a difference.

One Christmas Morning by Rachel Greenlaw is a festive treat. An intelligent, romantic story of star-crossed lovers, I was completely absorbed by the millennial Scrooge Evas predicament. Greenlaws debut is a shimmering success Laura Shepperson, The Heroines
