Fran has begun decorating the shop for the holidays. Although I am grateful, it does mean that any book with a red or green cover is likely to be pressed into service as a Christmas display.

SYNOPSIS:

Twelve days of fake dates. Two holidays. One chance to convince everyone they’re in love.

Hollywood teen actor Arden James’ messy reputation is interfering with her career when a notoriously picky director won’t give her a role based on her party-girl image. So she and her publicist make up a lie – not only is she from a small town (true) but her childhood best friend Caroline, is her long-term girlfriend (false) and she can prove it when she goes home for Christmas.

Caroline Beckett hasn’t thought about her ex-best friend Arden James for years, focusing instead on her dreams about becoming a journalist. When Arden turns up on her doorstep and promises her an article in Cosmopolitan magazine on their twelve snow-covered romantic days together, Caroline agrees to play along. But when old feelings start to bubble up, what will fall faster – Arden and Caroline or the Christmas Eve snow?

Some Christmas love to start the season.

This book takes a different twist to the trope of one of the couple not liking Christmas. Instead of the character just not liking Christmas for more asocial reasons this time there is a deep layer of trauma causing the distress. Niall as a main character doesn't start off as an easily lovable character because of it, but it left us with a lot of potential for growth at the start of the book. He is grumpy and rude but as he is the main character we quickly get insight to what is the cause of all of it. I enjoyed it that we had this deeper perspective than it being the love interest with all the turmoil. To see him grow and become healthier in his mental health was a lovely journey to follow and made me smile a whole lot towards the end of the book.

As a contrast Sam is such an happy lovely guy that is totally into Christmas as an polar opposite. Niall and Sam clash a lot, have clashed for even longer before the book starts. There is so much history between these two guys that makes you feel the pain from the start. Sam is clearly hurting from this situation but refuses to let go of Niall. This determination of his is such a joy to see and makes you root for him all through the book. Sam was a joy to have and I couldn't get enough of him.

When the book gets to the part that they're at the cabin the real magic starts. It was so much fun to see these two have some quality time. Niall slowly opening up was magical to see and made me feel so proud of him. When the time in the cabin came to an end I was sad to see them move out of their safe bubble, but the real growth started there for Niall. He now had to carry through his change with the people he usually clashes against. Him working through all that lead to an adorable ending of the book.

Concluding I really enjoyed this Christmas book that gave me fluff with big character growth.

I received an eARC and this was my honest review.

My debut novella is out now!!

If this sounds up your alley...

Jake lost his Christmas spirit when his husband left him on December 26. This year, when a friend offers him her reservation at a resort in Florida, he jumps at the chance to get away. No snow, no Christmas trees, no problems. Except the resort does a Christmas Golf Cart parade every year, and Alex, the man in the neighboring cabin, wants Jake’s help with his. Jake just wants to be left alone… until he spies Alex’s design. Maybe working together won’t be so bad. Can an unexpected friendship reawaken more than Jake’s holiday spirit?

Book Rec: The 12 Dogs of Christmas by Susan Wiggs

Audiobook narrated by Sophie Amoss (8 hours, 14 minutes)

If you enjoy romance and dog rescue this book is for you!

Brenda Malloy hates Christmas, but when the dog rescue she tirelessly volunteers for needs a second transport driver, she steps up to the plate. She has just enough time to help drive from Houston, TX to Avalon, NY and back before Christmas... only nothing goes as it was planned.

Enter a blinding snowstorm, an escaped rescue dog, and paramedic Adam Bellamy and Brenda's plans go out the window. This novel is about keeping the magic of the season, and Brenda finding herself along the way.

The narrator has a pleasant voice and the the novel moves along at a decent pace, creating an enjoyable listening experience. There are some curse words and some sexual situations, so this isn't a completely clean read, but it's a delightful story.
