I LOVE Pippa Grant books!! And this one was like reading a Romeo and Juliet Hallmark movie set in a town where it’s always Christmas! But instead of dual suicide, there was fake dating and pure perfection. 

For her whole life, Amanda has had to hide her friendship with Lorelai, due to the massive hatred between their families. So when she falls (literally) back into Dane's life, with the confession that she told her family they were engaged, he jumps right in due to his lifelong secret crush on Amanda. 

What ensues is so sweet, the whole premise of the fake engagement being to unite their families and convince them to let go of their generations old rivalry, that no one can seem to remember the origin of.

Was the plot predictable? Of course. But that's why we love romance books like this. It was still so fun to watch Amanda and Dane realize there was more growing between them than friendship, and all the steamy, spicy moments along the journey!

I loved this sweet, swoony, steamy book so very much!!
