The Holiday Husband by Jenny B. Jones
5.0
This was exactly the fun contemporary romance I needed this week! And what a premise. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect with the whole waking-up-married-to-the-wrong-guy scenario, but I certainly knew what to expect with the banter and the wry one-liners, and I wasn’t disappointed.
“Maybe we should sit on the couch and kiss like teenagers—to work out the stress, of course.”
“Not going to happen.”
“Not even if I promise to keep my hands in the Northern Hemisphere?”
“You can keep your mitts off all my hemispheres.”
“Do you have strong feelings about your equator?”
That pulled a laugh from me, though I was uncertain what we were even talking about.
Annie’s a bit of a hot mess, certain she’s in love with Wyatt and completely unable to remember falling in love with Holden, much less marrying him. I’m sure you can guess the kind of scenarios that crop up, particularly when Annie’s snobby artist mother turns up for a surprise visit and Annie’s determined to pretend she’s deliriously happy and in love.
Holden won my sympathy immediately, and it only increased as we got into the story and learned more about him. He has the whole rugged, hardworking vibe going on—the understated flirt, if you will—but also has a huge streak of insecurity that had me aching for him right up until the end.
And, of course, it’s a Christmas setting, making it the perfect Christmas romance read as well. What more can you ask for?
