Faking Under the Mistletoe by Ashley Shepherd

4/5 stars

Banter? Check.
Fake dating? Check.
Grumpy X Sunshine? Check.

What a fun, fast paced Christmas read! Set in NYC during Christmas time, Olivia is the embodiment of Christmas cheer and her boss, Asher, is the actual Grinch. When Olivia realizes that Asher is more grumpy than usual due to a breakup, she decides she's going to help him by fake dating him to make his ex jealous.

Olivia and Asher's chemistry was off the charts. The banter that they had was honestly some of the best I've read when it comes to a rom com enemies to lovers. I seriously couldn't put this book down! It did hit some heavier topics, which was actually a pleasant surprise to me, considering most Christmas books are just fluff.

All in all, a great Christmas read.
