LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEEE

You mean you can have a full length romance book that is funny, heartwarming, sexy, and moving and it doesn't have to have some wildly unnecessary third act drama?? I mean??? 

Absolutely loved the characters, loved the way their relationship progressed, loved the families, loved the story, just freaking loved it.

(As a side note, I accidentally read this one before Holiday Romance, which is technically the first in the series but I am currently reading Holiday Romance and it doesn't seem to have been a problem!)

Rating: 5/5 stars 
 
In the sequel to Holiday Romance, Megan is a former runaway bride returning home for the first time since the incident, and Christian is tired of being the only single one at his family Christmas. But when they hatch a fake dating plot to help one another, it might just lead to real feelings. 
 
I loved this so much! I wanted to read it after reading the first book in the series, Holiday Romance, last week and I’m sooooo glad I fit it in before Christmas this year. Christian was an absolutely perfect book boyfriend, and I loved Megan so much as well. I’m also a sucker for fake dating, so the premise here was absolutely delightful. 
 
Returning to the world of a book you enjoyed is also fun, and I loved seeing Molly and Andrew’s relationship develop here even as Christian and Megan took center stage. This one is also dual POV, which I thought added so much to the story and reading experience. And finally, we all know how I feel about a book with no third act breakup?!?!?! Impeccable, truly. 
 
Read this one if you want an adorable holiday book!

What a lovely, cosy festive read! The kind of book you want to read wrapped in a blanket with a mug of hot chocolate.

This had just the right amount of humour, swoony moments, and family togetherness. I loved Megan and Christian; they're so caring and protective of each other, even before they get together. I loved how they consistently had each other's backs and I adored their slow, soft romance. 

The only part I wasn't keen on was
the reconciliation with Sophie, but that's just because I am a petty, grudge-holding bitch lol.
