Wanted: A fresh shot at love for the holidays. But fake dating my brother’s grumpy best friend? He’s my new client, for Santa’s sake!

As a professional matchmaker, my biggest job this holiday season should be simple: find a date for the sexy single dad hockey player—aka my brother’s best friend—for his team’s fancy Christmas Eve gala. Sure Rowan’s hot as a crackling fire and spicier than a gingerbread man, but he hasn’t just sworn off romance. The Christmas hater has made a bet that I can’t find him a holidate.

What’s a matchmaker to do?

Win, of course. Even if it means fake dating the grinch myself to get him ready for the real thing.

Only…these fake dates at Christmas tree farms and hot cocoa competitions in the snowy small town of Evergreen Falls start to feel a little too real as I get to know the man behind the scowl. Somewhere between kisses under the mistletoe and a snowed-in night in his cabin curled up by the fire (where the stockings aren’t the only thing hung), I realize I’m in over my elf-loving head.

And when Rowan opens up to me at last about his painful past, I’m determined to give my brother’s best friend the holiday he deserves.

But what if the only gift I want him to unwrap this season is… me?

The MMC narrator awesome.e as always. The FMC did not appeal at all at times I was wanted to smack her. This lead to the DULLEST LB book I have read.

A most unliveable FMC

Connor Crais and Vanessa Edwin were fantastic as always, but this book was about 6 hours too long. When done well, the fake dating trope is one of my faves, but I honestly couldn’t understand what about this was meant to be ‘fake dating’ other than the characters throwing around that term a lot. It all just felt like a bunch of underdeveloped characters, tropes and plot lines thrown together to meet LB’s editor’s Christmas deadlines rather than a story that she really wanted to tell

Even great narrators couldn’t save this
