Super cute. I liked this much better than the first book!
It’s July and this is obvs a Christmas book. But I was in the biggest slump. I needed a reset - something easy, breezy, and fun. This was perfect. Not a literary masterpiece, not anything incredibly unique. But perfect for what it was meant to be.

4.5 ⭐️ loved this so much! I need Christian Fitzpatrick like right now. Perfect holiday read!
I read “Holiday Romance” (Fitzpatrick Christmas #1) last year and adored it, so naturally this had to be my first holiday romance this year.
As expected, this delivered! The story begins with Megan, a runaway bride desperately trying to escape her wedding, only to bump into Christian, a childhood acquaintance and one of the wedding guests (thanks to her mom’s invites), on her way out the door. He promises to keep quiet about her running away, and that’s the last time they see each other until they unexpectedly cross paths years later in Dublin.
When they hang out that night Christian decides to pursue Megan for a fake relationship, because they both have something to gain. Megan is reluctant to return home because she hasn’t been since running away from her wedding, and Christian has his own demons to face at home. They promise to be there for each other and be each other’s support for everything the holidays entail back in their small town in Ireland. But of course, as you can guess, there’s sparks and chemistry between these two and it soon starts to become real.
I loved this! Sure, there are a lot of coincidences but romance books are meant to be a swoony escape, which is absolutely what this book was. The reasoning for Megan running away from her wedding was so well thought out and unpredictable, and Christian is a top-tier fictional boyfriend.
Best part???? NO THIRD ACT BREAKUP, and this was spicier than Holiday Romance which was a nice change. I’ve never read a fake dating story that didn’t include some awful and frankly, painful third-act breakup, but this one sidestepped it completely. This was just an entertaining, sexy, and heartwarming holiday love story with a perfect mix of conflict and romance!

Super fast read, but a great read for the holidays!
I loved both of the main characters; Christian and Megan’s banter was witty and hilarious, and the relationship progression was quirky and adorable. ❤️

aside from the fact that this is the most american book based in ireland ive ever read this was cute! it had some p cute n funny elastic dialogue that was almost sitcom screenplay snappy and had me giggling/swinging my legs. both christian n megan are very fleshed out and their story doesn’t ever feel forced even with the conflict. the mom/daughter and father/son aspect were well written and hittt.
Het eerste kerstboek dat ik dit jaar las en het was meteen al een schot in de roos
