I’m always a sucker for fake dating. But fake dating around Christmas?? Lauren Blakely has out DONE herself with this one! My Favorite Holidate combined all of her usual amazing spice and romance with the tenderness of the holiday season. The dynamic between Fable and Wilder was absolutely everything, and I loved every moment!
The setting of a small town competition in the holidays was perfection. Fable and Wilder’s “practice” sessions for pulling off a convincing fake dating in public had me squealing. And I loved our sweet Mac, Wilder’s daughter, finding ways to match make her dad with Fable.
This book has no notes from me. My Favorite Holidate was the perfect holiday romance full of spice and holiday cheer. I loved Wilder and Fable and watching their love story play out was an absolute delight!
