ABOUT THE BOOK

Megan is dreading going home for the holidays. She’s the village pariah, the she-devil who left local golden boy Isaac at the altar four years ago and ran away to the big city. She could really do without the drama. Particularly as he’s engaged again, and she’s just been dumped for the fourth time this year.

Christian’s fed up of being on his own every Christmas. He doesn’t mind being alone, but he hates his family’s sad eyes and soft tones as they sit around coupled up. Because he’s actually, totally, fine.

So when Megan literally bumps into Christian in a Dublin pub, they come up with a pact to see them through the holiday season. They’re going to be the very best fake dates for each other, ever.

Rules are drawn up, a contract is signed on a wine-stained napkin. They will sit through each other’s family gatherings and be outrageously in love until freed from their annual obligations. After all, it’s only for a few weeks.

But with everyone home for the holidays, two big families to deal with alongside old friends, old flames and old feelings, things are bound to get messy. And when a snowed-in cabin and a little Christmas magic are added to the mix, anything could happen…

MY REVIEW

I have been in such a mood for Christmas romance books and BOY did this one hit the spot! It really is the perfect holiday cozy read. There wasn’t a character that I didn’t like, and all of the characters seemed very realistic. No one was perfect, as happens in a lot of books, including the families. This book takes fake dating trope and does it very well! I loved reading the growing relationship between Megan and Christian. It didn’t happen too fast, and it wasn’t forced. I also loved the little mystery of what happened with Isaac and when we learned the truth, I was so happy that Megan stood up for herself, even if it was on her wedding day.

I didn’t know that this was part of a series until I got to the end of the book and the author put something there about two of the other characters with a snippet of the other book. I’ll have to get the first book so that I can read about those two! I really enjoyed this author’s writing style.

Oh! And for those that are looking for a little spice in their rom-coms, this one has it!

Overall, I highly recommend this book.
