The Book

She said yes to a fake relationship.

She didn’t expect to fall for the wrong brother.

Piper’s had a crush on her coworker for three years. So when he asks her to join him on his family’s Christmas holiday as his fake girlfriend, she can’t turn down the opportunity to show him how good they’d be together for real. There’s just one tiny problem. She may have oversold her abilities on the slopes. As in, she’s never skied in her life. What’s the worst that could happen?

Mac’s at a crossroads. Should he join his father in the family business or continue flying planes for the Air Force? He doesn’t want to disappoint his family, but does that have to mean giving up his own dreams? And what about the gorgeous girlfriend his younger brother brought on the family vacation and then left to fend for herself? Surely, someone has to make sure she feels welcome.

As Piper gets a glimpse of what a real relationship with her crush would look like, while also spending time with a man who is his complete opposite, she wonders if perhaps she’s hitched herself to the wrong man.

Fans of While You Were Sleeping will enjoy this grumpy/sunshine, fake dating, forced proximity, meddling family, falling for the wrong brother, just kisses Christmas romcom.

Book Review

It's no big secret to anyone who has been following my reviews for a while that the 'falling for the wrong brother' trope is one of my absolute favorites. It's one of those that seems like it shouldn't work, and in real life would probably be super uncomfortable... but in fiction? Yes, I absolutely love it. Every. Single. Time. Throw in some Christmas cheer and meddling family? Even better. Needless to say, I was pretty excited for this one... and it absolutely did not disappoint! Right from their first interaction, I adored Piper and Mac together. They had such a great chemistry, and the fake dating (with the other brother) made for some fantastic pining... without any cheating or true love triangle vibes. I loved all the Christmas competitions and feeling of family this story brought... a truly perfect holiday read. I loved everything about it and could not get enough! This one is definitely a must read for your holiday TBR. 

While You Were Skiing is a closed-door romance with kisses only and no language.
