3 days til Christmas

2 unlikely traveling companions

1 zippy little dog

Georgia Darcy never asked to be a movie star’s little sister but nothing will keep her from getting to her brother’s wedding on Christmas Day. Even if Mother Nature thwarts her traveling plans.

When all flights cancel, she's unexpectedly paired with a chronically unlucky rideshare and his overly cute dog, finding that turbulence isn’t exclusive to airplanes. Especially when it comes to her feelings.

Wyatt Silva, flat broke and fresh out of options, embarks on a detour road trip alongside delightfully sweet Georgia, who not only stumbles over his dog, but also into his heart.

Doomed with nutty disasters of ridiculous proportions, the cockeyed couple is forced to find creative means to trek it across the country. Will they find romance along the way or will a few secrets and a sleigh full of questions prevent them from jingling all the way home in time for the holidays?

Sleet, snow, and a Winnebago. It’ll take a Christmas miracle to navigate their stormy attraction to one another and reach Pemberley for Christmas.

Driving Miss Darcy is chock full of all the holiday tropes you love like:

❄️ Forced Proximity/snowed in

❄️ Small town Hallmark vibes

❄️ Cinnamon Roll Hero with a dazzling smile

❄️ Mistletoe Kisses

❄️ And much, much more

Editorial Reviews

★★★★★ "You know, I wasn’t expecting to laugh out loud, but I did. It was such a cute story that I stayed up way too late. Well worth it!

★★★★★ "One of the best "road trip" stories I have read. Will definitely look for more by this author."

★★★★★ "There’s something about a contemporary P&P spinoff that melts my heart into a puddle of goo and Gigi Blume hits the spot!"

★★★★★ "I could not put it down and had to postpone sending out my Christmas cards another day! This well written, sweet, funny, amazing romance grabbed me on page one. This is the best in escapist fiction!"

Not totally convinced

Call me a Grinch but this one fell flat on me. The first half was just crazy, like come on one cannot have this many accidents and still find them cute, they were just plain weird. Then the second half felt disconnected from the first? Idk it felt off and too sweet compared to the rest and just weird.

Loved it

This book was awesome I would have been done sooner but got sick so was having a hard time reading but I definitely recommend this book another great read character kept you want to keep reading

Just plain fun!

There have been a couple of shared ride Christmas stories from Hallmark that I've enjoyed over the years, & this one was just as much a pleasure.Wyatt is a bumbling but lovable guy, and just what Georgia needs. If she doesn't kill him first.The events that take place are quite amusing, though there was one plot point that was such a stereotype that it was obvious it was coming & I was disappointed that the author hadn't done something more original.Still, the story was quite entertaining, and I loved the way it ended!*Clean romance level: sweet kisses

Adorable

Awww I loved this book so much!! Georgia is such a wonderful, genuine, and humorous woman, with enough sweet spunk to keep you smiling throughout the story. And Wyatt is both swoon worthy and adorably nerdy at the same time; a whirlwind of handsome chaos that I couldn’t get enough of. And let’s not forget sweet Reeses, Wyatt’s dog. He was an integral character in his own right! I loved the way this trio fell together begrudgingly, at least on the part of the two humans, to try to get to California by Christmas. What should have been a fairly straightforward trip turns out to be quite the journey. I enjoyed every moment and felt as if I were swept up in the adventure alongside them.It was also a treat to see appearances from some of the characters from the other books in the series!
