Catherine Walsh is a new favorite romcom author! Her books are romantic, never cringey, and have impeccable comedic timing. The Fitzpatrick family feels like a non-magical, Irish version of the Weasley family and you feel instantly welcomed into their cozy Christmas celebrations. I’m a sucker for a fake dating trope, and loved Christian and Megan’s characters from the start. I also liked the fact that familiar characters from the first book were still featured in the sequel. This book is the perfect holiday read and I hope there is a third installment in the works!

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 wasthe reconciliation with Sophie, but that's just because I am a petty, grudge-holding bitch lol.

Christian and Megan are both dreading going home for Christmas. Megan hasn't been home in years, not since the whole run away bride scandal. Christian hates the attention he gets as the only single one in his family. So, they strike a deal. Pretend to be in a relationship to help each other through Christmastime.
Another super cute Christmas romance from Catherine Walsh. I really loved Christian in Molly and Andrew's book, so I was excited to read his story. I enjoyed the banter and chemistry between these two characters. ALSO, I appreciated that this book was from both of their POVs!
I enjoyed all of the side characters that we got to revisit in this book, along with some fun new ones. I liked that Molly and Andrew's story continued within this book, but didn't overpower the main plot line.
The only thing I didn't like was that their feelings develop very fast.Over the matter of weeks they are confessing their love.
Yes, this series is pretty predictable and trope filled. BUT of all the Christmas romances I have read, this series is definitely better than most.
Tropes: fake dating, forced proximity

Such a fun read! I really enjoyed this lighthearted, funny romance. Loved the characters.
Content warnings: frequent, mild cursing; not super spicy but spicier than I care to read. I was enjoying the book too much to stop reading so I just skipped over the sex.
