the fun banter

I loved this book and honestly it was the first audio book I have ever been able to full listen two and did it in two days. the spice was great and the story kept me hooked.

Fun!

3.5 Stars ⭐️ Fake It ‘Til Christmas is frenemies to lovers, fake dating holiday romance. Win and Soren are neighbors and they need to fake date because of their families. But their families hate each other. Win is a little ridiculous with some of her crazy plans, but Soren is perfect for her! The way they are with each other is super cute. It’s short, a slower romance, and an entertaining plot.

Winnie & Soren

Jason Clarke, you can do no wrong (in my book).

Winnifred aka Win aka Fred Wolfcraft grew up in the same small town as Soren Thorn, where their families have been quietly feuding for reasons for as long as Winnie can remember.

By some coincidence, Winnie ends up moving to Colorado and living next door to Soren. They're neighbors, they chat regularly (mostly about all the drama in Winnie's life). But there's no indication of why Soren struggles with relationship, nor about any mutual attraction, until after he decides he needs a fake date to his sister's engagement party, and asks Winnie to help.

It seems like they both know the other one better than anyone else ever could, plus they have mutual experience with dealing with their families over the top behavior.

It's a fun read for the holiday season.
