Faking Under the Mistletoe by Ashley Shepherd

3.5

3.5 ⭐️

“He smiles at me, and I know it’s real. Because Asher is as stubborn as he is weird. You have to earn his smiles.”

How the hell did I just go to pick up this book and read for maybe an hour and finish the whole thing in one sitting… And why am I still up at 3am reading when I had plans to wake up early tomorrow, I don’t know. 

Faking Under The Mistletoe was a boss, grumpy x sunshine, fake dating romance between Asher and Olivia. The two of them decide to fake date to make Asher’s ex think that he is happily in love with someone as she has moved on. It was quick, easy to read, fun plot with a couple I did really like. Asher, while being grumpy towards most (including Olivia in the beginning) was really sweet deep down and I really liked him as a main character for this book. I liked Olivia too. She was the usual female lead who loved Christmas, she was fun and witty and strong willed. She knew how to stand up for herself and knew what she wanted and was willing to go after it when she needed to. 

I wanted a fun, Christmas romance and that’s what I got. I couldn’t really ask for much more and I do want to try out some of this authors other works because I did enjoy this one.
