Nothing screams holidays like a good movie marathon on the Hallmark station. For me though the holidays are about curling up with a good book.

Book Description

What do you do when your fake engagement starts to feel too real...

Aspiring clothes designer Victoria Scott spends her days working in a bar in Chelsea and her evenings designing vintage clothes, dreaming of one day opening her own boutique. But these aspirations are under threat from the new department store opening at the end of her road. She needs a Christmas miracle, but one is not forthcoming.

Oliver Russell’s Christmas is not looking very festive right now. His family’s new London department store opening is behind schedule, and on top of that his interfering, if well-meaning, mother is pressing him to introduce his girlfriend to her over the holidays--a girlfriend who does not exist. He needs a diversion...something to keep his mother from meddling while he focuses on the business.

When Oliver meets Victoria, he offers a proposition: pretend to be his girlfriend at the opening of his store and he will provide an opportunity for Victoria to showcase her designs. But what starts as a business arrangement soon becomes something more tempting as the fake relationship starts to feel very real. But when secrets in Victoria’s past are exposed, will Oliver walk away, or will they both follow their hearts and find what neither knew they were looking for...?

My Thoughts

I admit when I was offered the chance to read this book I was excited. The title and cover had me interested and then reading the write-up caught my attention. Not knowing anything about the author I dove into this book,

I found the book to be fun, delightful, and full of humor. It reminded me of the holiday comedies I enjoy watching during the holidays.  The fun ones where things get sticky as the well-laid plan begins t  fall apart. 

The story flowed with ease and I felt the characters were well written. The story was fun and classic. The whole fake relationship turning real. 

Victoria and Oliver were a cute pair. Though I know nothing about fashion I enjoyed reading about Victoria's life as a fashion designer. Oliver was your typical handsome hero. 

Overall a really fun read for the holidays and I admit I would read more by this author if given the chance.
