When the spicy “exes with benefits” summer fling escalates to a “fake dating for the holidays” rom com full of kick-your-feet feelings!
A booty call with your ex? Bad decision, Rory.
I really thought it would be a one-time thing. A hormonal moment of weakness where I text him a funny ha-ha realization that I’m ovulating and he knows what that means–I can’t turn my brain off. He used to be so good at helping with that…
Then Garrett shows up very quickly. Bickering leads to banging, and it’s better than ever, raw and real and super satisfying. So maybe we didn’t work out as a couple, but “exes with benefits” has a nice ring to it, at least until I finish my residency. Just once a month.
A Christmas road trip? Disaster ahead, Garrett.
I know I messed up when I broke Rory’s heart eight months ago.
I also know we can’t spend more than ninety minutes together without everything crumbling, and the drive back to Pine Harbour is six times that long. Too bad leaving Rory behind—or for good—just isn’t an option. Whether she likes it or not, I’m her guy. Her ride home.
And when we arrive at her parents’ Christmas tree farm and discover her sister in tears over a breakup of her own, Rory takes one pleading look at me and suddenly I’m her “boyfriend” again. And there’s only one bed…
Fake dating your ex to save Christmas…what could go wrong? A brand new Christmas rom com that weaves cozy whimsy and sizzling heat throughout a very festive happily ever after from New York Times bestselling author Zoe York!
Review:
Second chance romances can be tricky–there’s always a reason why they didn’t make it the first time, after all. A second chance romance between adults who only broke up 8 months ago? You have to really make me believe that they’ll make it this time.
Zoe York totally did that here!
I absolutely loved Rory and Garrett from the very first page–I swear I was as broken up about their breakup as they were, once I got to know them both. And as the underlying reasons for their breakup were revealed? Total devastation. This is one of those books that you really need to hear both sides from, and since the audiobook was done in the duet style it made you feel like you really knew these characters.
And it made their HEA feel even more satisfying when you got to it <3
(And please don’t ask about the many, many, MANY steamy scenes we had throughout, because then I’ll be forced to think about the time my phone automatically connected to the car audio with my kids in it in the middle of one. Suffice to say they are steamy AF, just as they should be)
The narrators did a fabulous job; fingers crossed they’ll be available to read the rest of the series. I cannot wait to find out who the MCs of book two will be!
