About the Novel: 

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. 

My Review: I am very happy to recommend this adorable, fun, fake dating, falling-for-the-wrong-brother story. I am happy to have been one of Megan's beta readers, and wow, did she deliver in this final copy of the novel!

I really enjoyed this novel. Piper is great and very cute and also human. Mac is so very grumpy. and Lucas is, well, both thoughtful and a bit of a jerk. So is Mac, in some ways, to be honest. In other words, the whole cast is human.

"Is this a kissing book?" Yes, but in a good way.

Readers may find similarities to another famous holiday film (also mentioned in the story), but to be honest, it struck me out of the blue--in a good way! From the beginning, this novel had all the earmarks and flow of a Hallmark holiday film–in all the best ways! Cozy, fun, happily-ever-after. P

Five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
