A USA TODAY Bestseller

A holiday romance from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely with spice and fake dating that follows a fiery designer who teams up with her charming billionaire boss for a week-long Christmas competition, and their pretend holiday romance soon starts to feel all too real—now with a never-before-published short story.

“Wanted: hot billionaire to pose as my Christmas boyfriend. Must be willing to make my cheating ex jealous by kissing me under the mistletoe at holiday parties. Bonus if you make him cry.”

To Fable’s surprise, her billionaire boss, Wilder Blaine, is more than willing to take on the challenge of playing her holiday boyfriend. The sexy single dad desperately needs a plus one for a Christmas Eve wedding, where he’s the best man and she’s the maid of honor. With her ex also in the wedding party, the two team up as a pair of insta-lovebirds for the holiday season. Their partnership includes participating in the annual week-long Christmas competition leading up to the snowy destination wedding.

What starts as late nights crafting the best popcorn balls for the contest soon turns into a passionate night together, where the sparks between them are impossible to ignore. But when the holidays end, can their winter wonderland romance turn into something real back at the office? Or are they destined to go the way of a Christmas tree on New Year’s Day?

Critic reviews

"A steamy holiday fake-dating romance features a full-cast narration from Samantha Brentmoor, Jason Clarke, and others. Brentmoor portrays Fable in a breezy voice, while Clarke plays Fable’s gravelly voiced employer, Wilder, the owner of a football team. As Fable and Wilder engage in games in and out of the bedroom during a holiday wedding, the chemistry they have is obvious right down to the affectionate banter and Christmas-themed puns they share. Other voices include those of the engaged couple, wedding guests, and Fable’s smarmy ex...an appealing, festive listen."

Same Fake Dating Troupe with Above Average Writing

Spoiler:



Like every other fake dating story, their “lie” about dating gets exposed in the most cringe, over exaggerated, and public way possible by the villain. Then, they smooth it out with two people and somehow it’s OK with everyone else.

Great holiday romance

This was a fun holiday romance with likable characters and light banter. The vocal performances were wonderful and brought the story to life.

Great Narration and Cute Story

Just the right amount of spice that will have you blushing in the grocery store. Could use some edits as the "will they/wont they" and "are the feelings real" angst is a little over done. Very cute duet narration with a super fun albeit uber brief blooper real at the end.

Nice escape

I liked the story as the voices were well done so I could picture the characters. It was a bit racey and descriptive so be sure you are ready for that. Love Christmas time so that added to story for me.

Absolutely love this story

I absolutely love this story. It’s detailed without being fluffy. All the details are necessary to the growth of the Fable and Wilder. While it is a traditional fake dating story it still feels different. I enjoyed that characters from other series are also included. Things flowed smoothly and the spice is nice. The audiobook takes the story to the next level. I thoroughly enjoyed it being done with a full cast. I will definitely reread this story.
