When an attractive stranger approaches her with the offer of a chance to get away for ten days, she agrees. Abby's solution? A pretend girlfriend for the holidays would surely keep her ex away and in her own room at night, right? Nic Bennett's life has been far from ideal and Christmas is her most dreaded holiday of all as she relives horrors from the past. The same ex-girlfriend who last year at Christmas had lured her into bed. But fairytales end, don't they?'-Provided by publisher.īook Synopsis Abby Carpenter is in a tailspin knowing she is about to spend ten days in the company of her ex-girlfriend-who is now engaged to her brother-for a family holiday gathering in Red River, New Mexico. 4.5 stars.About the Book 'Neither anticipated becoming friends and they certainly didn't count on the pretend kisses becoming real.

Once again, her performance elevated an already good story. Craden evokes the family warmth and Christmas spirit perfectly. Her performance of Abby’s annoying and snooty ex is priceless. The audiobook was narrated by Abby Craden who, as usual, did a great job. The best part of the book is how Nic sees Christmas with new eyes full of wonder and happiness, being welcomed to Abby’s family and falling in love in the process. Nic is a bit of a Christmas grinch forced by her past history and Abby and her family are her way to make peace with it. The big theme is the holidays’ celebrations and Nic’s tragic family past which messed up her enjoyment of the festivities. In Gerri Hill’s books, the outdoors is normally a character in its own right but this time it isn’t as much. I admit that the first few chapters in which this counteroffer was discussed made me a bit uncomfortable but the story quickly turns to a more typical fake romance.

I was surprised by the original offer (to ask a complete stranger to join a 10-day family gathering) and the counteroffer this stranger suggests. This is another story with the very popular fake romance trope but in this case, the main characters are total strangers. So she decides to ask a stranger to go with her as her fake girlfriend. Same ex-girlfriend who lured her into bed last year.
