Description

Who knew a fake holiday relationship could be so fun?

Kayla Summers has had enough of her mother's insistence that she find a man and get married. At thirty-three, she's a successful attorney and has a fantastic life. Knowing her mother will grill her constantly over the upcoming holidays about her single existence, she dreads the visits home.

Carter Manheim is a self-proclaimed bachelor, dead set on seducing every beautiful woman in Manhattan. And why not? His parents' disastrous marriage and divorce proved that lifelong commitments just aren't viable. As his mother's health worsens, his only wish is to give her one last happy holiday, even if it entails bringing home a girlfriend.

When Kayla's sexy neighbor proposes they take each other home for the holidays as fake partners, she's floored. However, getting her mother off her back is her number one priority and she agrees to the arrangement. Now, if she can only keep her heart from becoming emotionally entangled with the player of the century, she'll be just fine…

This book is filled with fast-paced fake relationship shenanigans and steamy scenes designed to melt your tablet. The main character's mother has late-stage cancer so please consider that before reading. Here's hoping this funny, romantic story can give you a few hours of escape during the holidays! Enjoy!

    ⭐️Overall 4.5/5 🎧Narration 5/5 🌶️ Spice 4/5 🖤Dark 0/5 “I’m not really a threat to his heart or whatever. One day, he’ll bring home one of the perfect tens he seems to gravitate to and then you’ll get a real girlfriend. I guess I can say that I’m his practice run. At least I serve a purpose.” If you are looking for a book with Hallmarkish Holiday feels, with amazing narration, believable character, fun banter, sexual tension, laugh out loud moments, second hand embarrassment, realistic times where you wanting to smack the main character and some “HECK YEAH” spice. Then just stop reading this and go get this book!! Neighbors for 3 years Kayla has seen Carter bring home more models than she can count. With the walls not being soundproof, Kayla also knows…well, you know. Kayla is a curvy lawyer with a mom who wants her to lose weight and get a man. Carter is a playboy who likes he lifestyle but his mom is dying with cancer and wants her son to settle down. With the holidays around the corner Kayla and Carter make a pact. No sex, fake dating, and make the holidays bearable. With the fun banter mixed in with the friends, and the character development is delivered in a way that makes this book stick out amongst the rest of the Christmas Fake Dating books. The tension that leads up to the steamy parts are well written. The emotional parts of the book flow well and do not feel forced (from happy, sad, spunky, confused, all the emotions given.)

    Narration Review- Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross are among the best of the best in audiobook narration. Here they do duet narration, meaning he does all of the male voices and she does all of the female ones. This makes an audiobook extra special and really draws the listener into the story. 5/5. Story Review: MMC/FMC- Carter and Kayla POV- 3rd person Genre- Contemporary Romance Heat level- they do the things and name the parts. The P word is used when he is talking a little racy during. Series? Y 1/3 Safety: No Cheating/Sharing, No OM/OW Drama, No S. Violence, No Cliffhanger. HEA/HFN? Y Triggers- Explicit Erotic Content, Language, Verbal Abuse (not perpetrated by MMC or FMC), Knicks Fandom Tropes- Fake Relationship, Friends to Lovers, BBW, Won’t You Be My Neighbor?, Commitment-Shy, I’ll Take Manhattan What I liked- they were supportive of each other. The erotic scenes were nuclear level hot (even the one where they were on opposite sides of a wall!). And their relationship wasn’t just about zexytime. They really built it. What I didn’t like- Heroine was not a Celtics fan. Verdict- highly recommended. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
