"A magical holiday love story set at the glamorous Plaza Hotel in New York City It's Christmas week when 26-year-old Sabrina Post knocks on the door of the Vanderbilt suite at the Plaza Hotel in New York City, ready to accept the ghostwriting position for the memoir of Grayson Westcott-a famous art dealer. A struggling journalist, Sabrina can't believe her luck: a paycheck and six nights in her own suite at the Plaza. She feels like Eloise, the heroine from her favorite children's books. To make the job even more exciting, Grayson recounts how he worked as a butler at the Plaza sixty years ago for none other than the author of the Eloise books, Kay Thompson. What promises to be a perfect week is complicated when Sabrina meets Ian Wentworth, a handsome British visitor, at the hotel bar. When Ian assumes Sabrina is another wealthy guest at the hotel, she doesn't correct him -a decision she doesn't regret after learning that Ian is a member of the British aristocracy. But, things are not what they seem. The truth is: Ian is not a wealthy lord; he's actually the personal secretary of Lord Spencer Braxton. As the week unfolds, will Sabrina and Ian learn the truth about one another? Filled with the magic that can only be found at the Plaza Hotel during the holidays, and revealing facts about the author of the Eloise books, the novel is both a holiday treat and a heartwarming story that reminds us that falling in love is the greatest miracle of all"--… (altro)

Sabrina is a ghost writer, completing a memoir for an art dealer, Grayson Prescott. Ian works for a British aristocrat. Both are staying at the Plaza, and each thinks the other is wealthy, which is certainly not true. Grayson also has connections of a sort to the same British family. It’s a rather cute tale, if a bit contrived, and certainly romance is fostered by the atmosphere of the fancy hotel. The truth does eventually come out, but in the end, it doesn’t matter how rich you are or what your ancestry is: romance can blossom any old time, but especially at Christmas. Well written with likable characters, it nice that everyone gets a HEA ending. ( )

A Magical New York Christmas by Anita Hughes
To me this is a book with two stories. One is the ghost writer taking notes about an author for his autobiography and the other story is of the current relationships enjoying the holiday season in NYC.
This story follows a ghost writer that lives in NY and is put up at the Plaza hotel during the Christmas holiday weeks.
She listens to the author tell her of his life over the years and she translates it into his life story for him.
Sabrina has seen a man that attracts her and they play with one another: they have no idea who each of them really is.
He gives her jewelry and her boss gives her dress outfits to wear to the snowflake ball.
The descriptions are so exact and I want to visit the city during the holidays to see it for myself. Money is no object for the men but they are for Sabrina.
The men know they must tell her who they are....and after he confesses you can't believe how she takes it....
Love how the blast from the past makes everything magical.
Confusing at times as you don't realize the time frame the story is in...
Received this review copy from the publicist via NetGalley and this is my honest opinion. ( )

A Magical New York Christmas by Anita Hughes
Contemporary romance. Clean.
Sabrina is interviewing Grayson to be his memoir ghostwriter. He’s paying for her to stay at the Plaza Hotel in New York between Christmas and the New Year. Sabrina meets Ian in one of the restaurants where they share caviar and a little flirtation.
The story follows Ian and Sabrina in current day and Grayson’s live in the early 1960’s.

Sweet and beautifully organized, the story has the relationships building together even though they take place sixty years apart. An adorable surprise with multiple happy connections.

For anyone that has ever stayed at the Plaza Hotel, and anyone who has wanted to stay, this book includes descriptions of the restaurants, the shops, the decorations and the feeling of being pampered in their high-end suites. The area around the Plaza and other famous and close locations plus holiday activities make it a magical interlude with a romantic slant on the city.

Excerpt:
“The elevator doors opened and Sabrina stepped into the lobby. Every time she saw the Christmas tree—tall and fragrant and decorated with colored ornaments—she wanted to pinch herself to prove she wasn’t dreaming. She really was staying at the Plaza Hotel over Christmas.”
Excerpt from A Magical New York Christmas by Anita Hughes.

I received a copy of this from NetGalley. I will buy a copy as well to share with my New York loving friends. ( )
