The Great Charade

By: Gerri Hill

Narrated by: Abby Craden

Abby Carpenter is in a tailspin knowing she is about to spend 10 days in the company of her ex-girlfriend - who is now engaged to her brother - for a family holiday gathering in Red River, New Mexico. The same ex-girlfriend who last year at Christmas had lured her into bed. Abby’s solution? A pretend girlfriend for the holidays would surely keep her ex away and in her own room at night, right?

Nic Bennett’s life has been far from ideal and Christmas is her most dreaded holiday of all as she relives horrors from the past. When an attractive stranger approaches her with the offer of a chance to get away for ten days, she agrees but with a counteroffer that brings both anxiety and excitement to the desperate Abby.

Among the holiday lights and snow-covered grandeur, the lines between pretend and reality blur as the two women have the time of their lives while Abby learns it isn’t her ex she cannot resist and Nic learns what it means to be part of a family for Christmas.

A proposition, a counteroffer, and a Christmas charade heal two souls and meld two hearts into one.

Christmas charade

Abby Craden never disappoints, and neither did this story. Hill is a master author, no matter which trope. I adored both main characters, the guarded Nic and the verging on crazy Abby. The chemistry that snowballed between these two turned into a roaring blaze. Recommended? Yes, I would.

Fears of Love

I loved it, and the authoress and narrator tell a story with happy ending

Great book

I love the down to earth characters and the connection they built. The story was fun and interesting. I do wish it had an epilogue but maybe Gerri Hill will give us a second book with these MCs.

Hope To See A Sequel!!!

This was short and incredibly sweet. Two very complex women come together due to a fake girlfriend deal…. I loved the narration that brought all of the emotions and humor to life. The sexual tension and connections were perfectly written and narrated as well. I really do wish for and book that further develops these two MCs- Abby and Nicky are extremely special..

wonderful story

I loved the characters and storyline. the narration was superb I only wish there were a second book. would make an excellent series
