About this listen

Can a fake relationship between best friends turn into the real thing?

After years of estrangement from his parents, Nick is finally going home for Christmas, but not without backup. He wants moral support, so his best friend and flatmate, Jackson, agrees to pretend to be his partner, so he can go with him. It’s easy for Jackson to be convincing when his feelings for Nick are as genuine as ever. He put his crush on the back burner long ago, but acting out a role he’d love to play for real is harder than he imagined. Holding hands, kissing under the mistletoe, even sharing a bed for the sake of the charade...he can’t help wondering what he’s let himself in for and whether his heart can take it.

Emotions run high as Nick grapples with family issues, and the sexual tension between him and his best friend becomes difficult to ignore. But if he and Jackson give into the temptation to be fake boyfriends with benefits over the holiday, what will it mean for their future as friends once Christmas is over?

This audiobook contains best friends to lovers, pretend boyfriends, daddy issues, mistletoe, and a happy ending - of course.

Estranged from his own family, Nick has spent Christmas with Jackson’s family for years so when Nick’s mother begs him to come this year, Jackson agrees to accompany him, posing as Nick’s boyfriend. Best friends and flatmates, Nick and Jackson have both been unlucky in love, so a fake relationship might just show them what they’ve been missing in each other. There were two strong storylines in this festive friends-to-lovers romance: Nick and Jackson’s slowly dawning appreciation of each other and Nick’s combative relationship with his father. I love the way Jay Northcote analyses the personal dynamics and motivations of his characters and overtly weaves them through the story. It’s thoughtful and compelling because it gives you extra insight into the characters. I also love how Jay captures the natural awkward moments that crop up between people, it always feels real. Audio narrator Hamish Long gives another excellent performance, I don’t usually notice him narrating because he makes each scene seem so real.

A sweet fake-relationship romance!
