An Unexpected Boyfriend for Christmas

By: Janette Rallison

Narrated by: Katie Caruso

One little lie can spin so wildly out of control...and yet turn out so well.

Scarlet’s grandmother wants her to bring her boyfriend home for what may be her grandmother’s last Christmas. Which wouldn’t be a problem if Scarlet actually had a boyfriend. Scarlet’s sister came up with a bit of fiction to make Grandma happy in that regard.

"We all have boyfriends, Grams. Really, we're not going to waste our lives and die alone in a trailer full of cats".

Scarlet would totally skip the fake boyfriend performance, but her cousin Jane is bringing her boyfriend to Grandma's too—and he’s Scarlet’s ex.

Yeah. Her rich, arrogant, all too sure of his own charms, ex-boyfriend. That guy. There’s no way she’s showing up solo to face him. Scarlet is stuck, last-minute, with Liam, a man she’s never met and knows nothing about.

Maybe it’s Liam’s extreme hotness that muddles Scarlet’s mind, but she has a hard time keeping certain facts straight—like his profession, and the fact that he’s not really her boyfriend…so she’s not supposed to kiss him.

She needs to stay on her toes, because not keeping her story straight will land her and Liam in all sorts of trouble.

If you love a laugh-out-loud romantic comedy with all the warm fuzzy feelings of Christmas trees, gingerbread, and hot guys, snatch up this story today!

Funny and cute

Cute love story. Predictable but enjoyable because of the lovable characters and the funny lines they deliver.

A Hallmark movie in book form!

While the story was a bit predictable, it was a perfect holiday read! I loved every minute and laughed out loud so many times!

Nothing About it Worked For Me ..

Damn, that took way longer than I expected ..
The story is about Scarlett, Hazel's sister from the first book, she is looking for a fake boyfriend to convince her grandmother that she is living happily, luckily Liam ( Hazel's friend's brother .. ? ) volunteers to this task .. and the moment they saw each other they couldn't stop the attraction, but then things got complicated when they have to act engaged and pretend to want to marry..
contrary to most reviews, I quite liked the idea of a big lie that will blow up in their face one way or another, what I didn't like was Liam .. he barely had any personality and their chemistry felt forced as hell, I'm so sad that I didn't like this book since Jannette is one of my favorite authors after I read "My Fair Godmother " .. oh well ..

Just meh

I really wanted to love this book as it came highly recommended. But it fell a bit flat for me. Too implausible. Male & female narration would have made it better. Appreciated the witty and humerus banter.
