Book Description:
In the beloved small town of Moose Falls, a holiday dating charade between coworkers starts to feel like the real thing . . .
The youngest of three brothers, Landon Stone would do anything for his grandmother, Hattie—even return to his hometown of Moose Falls. Hattie’s heart is set on her grandsons taking over the family business—and finding their happily-ever-afters in Alaska. When Hattie gets the idea that Landon is romantically entangled with his gorgeous colleague, Bailey Daniels, Landon doesn’t just go along with it—he asks Bailey to join the ruse.
Bailey isn’t sure if she agrees because she adores Hattie for helping her family through their darkest times . . . or because she finds the charmingly nerdy Landon completely irresistible. Either way, it’s extremely easy to appear totally into him. But as they collaborate at work—and after hours—to make Hattie’s Christmas extra special, Bailey and Landon’s relationship starts to feel all too real. What if the only people Landon and Bailey are fooling this season . . . are themselves?
My Thoughts: Charming and Heartfelt
On the surface, Bailey seems like she's got it all together, but she struggles with something from her past, and the same goes for Landon. But when they are placed in a situation where they agree to fake a relationship for the greater good, otherwise known as Hattie, a very special and spunky character, things take a very unexpected turn.
Along with the romance is the impact of family relationships, rethinking our priorities, dealing with a sensitive topic, and healing from our past. The interactions are endearing, entertaining, and heartfelt, which had me smiling more than once. This charming romance also has a touch of contemporary flair, evidenced in some of the words, ideas, and a slight hint of heat. The result of that combination is a fun and enjoyable read that will leave you smiling.
