'I thought Tiffany should know that she has a half sister. She's Angel Summer - the famous model.'
With these few words from the mother who gave her away, aspiring stylist and pizza waitress Tiffany Taylor's life is turned upside down.
As soon as they meet, Angel and Tiff feel as if they've known each other for years, and before she knows it, Tiffany is working as a stylist on Angel's TV makeover programme, and going out with Raul, a Brazilian racing driver who has all the girls weak with lust.
If only Angel's seriously sexy bodyguard Sean could be as welcoming. Obviously he has things on his mind, like the kidnap threat hanging over Angel and her daughter Honey, but would it kill him to loosen up a bit?
As everyone gathers at Angel and Cal's mansion for a big Christmas celebration, Sean's defences finally drop. But as he relaxes, the danger moves closer, and Tiffany finds herself in serious trouble.
Rating: 4 Stars
Positives: Wow it was nice to finally read a Katie Price novel where neither of the main love interests for a character is a total bastard. Sorry excuse my language. Instead both Raul and Sean are really nice guys. Yes Sean can be a little standoffish and at times he may not be the nicest person to Tiffany but underneath everything he is one of the most genuine guys around.
Also it was nice to see Angel return, even though it wasn't as the main character. Instead the story focuses on her younger half sister and we're given brilliant character development as we see both sisters learning from each other over the course of the book. Plus our favorite hairdresser Jez makes a return with his usual bitchy comments and camp as camp ways. In fact we even see him dressed as a gay elf. All very fun I assure you.
Negatives: Firstly proof reading is definitely needed. There were so many spelling and grammar mistakes that at times I had a headache. It's a shame because these mistakes can ruin a good story. There's even one point in the final chapter where the wrong character's name is used. I can't point out what the scene is because otherwise I'll end up giving you some huge spoilers for the story ahead. Plus there was also a memorable moment when Italy was written as Itay.
Secondly the title is a little misleading. Santa Baby suggests that the book will be Christmas themed, as does the cover artwork, but instead it's not Christmas until the last four or five chapters. So if you're expecting a Christmassy read, I'd definitely say that you need to think again.
Would I recommend this book? If you've enjoyed Katie Price's previous works then you'll love Santa Baby. But as usual be on the lookout for bad grammar and be prepared to use your imagination a little.
