Hello lovely reader friends! Although the leaves are just starting to change here in upstate NY, I am thinking about what comes next. It’s the time where I start to consider what my TBR for the holiday season is going to be, after all, the Ber months are upon us.
As it turns out, one book that will absolutely be on my holiday themed to be read list is Faking Christmas by Kerry Winfrey. This book releases TODAY – September 26th. I’m excited because that means I can easily access it and pick it up when the snow starts coming down.
What’s Faking Christmas about?
Laurel Grant is playing house for the holidays–complete with a fake husband and kids–in this delightful, cozy rom-com by Kerry Winfrey.
Laurel Grant works as the social media manager for Buckeye State of Mind, an Ohio tourism magazine and website. She is most definitely not an owner of a farm…but one tiny misunderstanding leads her boss, Gilbert, to think she owns her twin sister Holly’s farm just outside of Columbus. Laurel only handles the social media for the farm, but she’s happy to keep her little white lie going if it means not getting fired.
And keep it going she must when Gilbert, recently dumped by his wife, invites himself over for the farm’s big holiday dinner (as advertised on Meadow Rise Farm’s Instagram, thanks to Laurel herself). Laurel immediately goes into panic mode to figure out how she can trick Gilbert into thinking she’s basically the Martha Stewart of rural Ohio and keep her job in the process.
Laurel and Holly come up with a plan–all Laurel has to do is pretend to own the farm for one dinner. But when Laurel shows up at the farm, an unwelcome guest is there: Max Beckett, her nemesis since Holly’s wedding. The annoyingly attractive man she hates will be posing as Laurel’s husband just for the evening, but when a snowstorm traps them all for the entire weekend, Laurel is going to have to figure out how to survive with her job and dignity intact. Whatever the case, this promises to be the most eventful Christmas in ages…
SIGN ME UP. The tropes are chef’s kiss to me: fake dating, forced proximity due to a snowstorm, enemies to lovers. I am so sold on this book! I literally cannot wait to listen to this book, as I’ve listened to ALL of Kerry Winfrey’s books so far and really enjoyed them.
@aprilbooksandwine I’m not trying to rush the seasons, however there are some holiday themed books coming out soon or just released today that I’m really excited to read. #aprilbooksandwine #christmasbooks
