A review by millah
Deck the Halls by Max Walker
3.25
I wasn’t aware this book was part of a series, but it actually worked well on its own. Andrew and Declan were utterly charming, and hot, and funny, and the fake-boyfriend-holiday-plot was promising. I loved all the sweetness, the humour and the delicious attraction.
I adored the family holiday setting but I’d prefer it if it was not so much an over-the-top-filthy-rich-holiday-setting. I mean, I don’t mind over the top, I’m just a little tired of stories with rich love interests, I guess. Also, I’m not sure I liked the resolve of the mystery that much. Or maybe I wasn’t that invested in solving the crime. Rich people getting robbed don’t make me ache in sympathy, I’m afraid. I mean, I get that it feels awful to get robbed. It’s just that the whole thing makes me wonder how many poor people you have to step over to get that rich. Yeah. I truly have an issue with this trope, woops.
Apart from that, I was happy to spend time with these characters and I enjoyed the love story and the shameless holiday cheesiness a lot. By the way, the audio narration, by Greg Boudreaux, was perfect.
