Megan is dreading going home for the holidays. She’s the village pariah, the she-devil who left local golden boy Isaac at the altar four years ago and ran away to the big city. She could really do without the drama. Particularly as he’s engaged again, and she’s just been dumped for the fourth time this year.

Christian’s fed up of being on his own every Christmas. He doesn’t mind being alone , but he hates his family’s sad eyes and soft tones as they sit around coupled up. Because he’s actually, totally, fine.

So when Megan literally bumps into Christian in a Dublin pub, they come up with a pact to see them through the holiday season. They’re going to be the very best fake dates for each other, ever .

Rules are drawn up, a contract is signed on a wine-stained napkin. They will sit through each other’s family gatherings and be outrageously in love until freed from their annual obligations. After all, it’s only for a few weeks.

But with everyone home for the holidays, two big families to deal with alongside old friends, old flames and old feelings, things are bound to get messy. And when a snowed-in cabin and a little Christmas magic are added to the mix, anything could happen…

A swoonworthy and utterly gorgeous romantic comedy that will make you laugh out loud and fall completely in love. Fans of Emily Henry, Sophie Kinsella and Abby Jimenez won’t be able to put this down!

One of my favorite tropes in a romance novel is the concept of fake dating and in her latest novel, Catherine Walsh has used the concept of fake dating as the theme of her latest book.

Meet Megan–who broke of an engagement four years ago and then hustled off to the city. Now her ex-fiancé is getting married and Megan who didn’t want to go back to the village. At a pub in Dublin, Megan meets Christian, who is tired of spending lonely Christmas and the two hatch up a plan to become a fake couple so they could go back to the village and pretend that they are dating each other. But what they didn’t realize is that soon, they start developing feelings for one another.

This was an entertaining and funny read. The story is told in Megan and Christian’s POV and through the story, we the family background of both Megan and Christian and the strain in the relationship between some of their family members. We also see that there’s a chemistry brewing between Megan and Christian, the fact that they both have feelings for each other, yet they are too shy to express their feelings to each other. I like how the author has crafted out those emotions well. There were some funny parts in the book that makes you laugh out loud while you are reading out the novel as well as some emotional ones. Not only that, but the background of this story is also Christmas which makes it all perfect to read this romance novel set during Christmas time! Catherine Walsh is a great romance author and from all the books I have read from her, this book is one of my favorites of hers.

Get your hot chocolates and get ready to snuggle up a good romance book to read during the Christmas holidays! Worth a solid five star reading.

Thanks you Bookouture for making me a part of this blog tour. Thank you Netgalley and Bookouture for the ARC. The review is based on my honest opinion only.

atherine Walsh was born and raised in Ireland. She has a degree in Popular Literature and the only prize she ever won for writing was at the age of 14 in school (but she still cherishes it.)

She lived in London for a few years where she worked in Publishing and the non-profit sector before returning to Dublin where she now lives between the mountains and the sea. When not writing she is trying and failing to not kill her houseplants.
