A meet cute moment that will have you take a chance to find the spirit of Christmas. A fake relationship during the holidays turned into something so much more.

This wasn't for me. The characters didn't seem like real adults. The whole thing felt fake. No chemistry. I don't know why its so highly rated?

This book didn't hold my interest, as I found the main character to be annoying. I don't enjoy characters who don't like 'rich people' and are full of judgement. It's a huge turn off for me as a reader. I'd prefer an author (when they're writing romance,) to at least spend time writing a character I think they like writing.

This book was such a fun read around the holidays. I listened to the audiobook and the narrator did a great job with the characters’ voices and expression of emotion. Hannah and Gage were like-able and I was rooting for their relationship. I didn’t want to stop listening to this book! I enjoy all that I have read by author Samantha Chase.

Samantha Chase’s His for the Holidays was a quick, no angst, small town Christmas romance filled with love, family and humor. Gage and Hannah’s story starts off with a meet cute in the elevator where they get to know each other and chemistry sparks between the two. They embark on a fake relationship to not face their respective families during the holidays.

This story was so cute and I loved Gage and Hannah’s characters. These characters were believable and their connection was intense. I was complete invested in their story and the narrator really brought this story and characters to life.

Rating: 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hannah and Gage's fake relationship romance is so cute, sweet, funny, engaging, and heartwarming. I loved Gage's family. They are hilarious! I liked the humor in the story. This is a beautiful Christmas romance. Elizabeth Cottle has a beautiful voice, pleasant to listen to. She did a great job bringing this story to life. I enjoyed it, and I highly recommend it. I received a copy of this book through NetGalley, a Dreamscape Media Audio production, for an honest review.

Thank you to Samantha Chase, Dreamscape Media and Netgalley for the advanced Listeners copy of His for The Holidays. My thoughts and opinions are my own and done voluntarily.

This was such a cute and cuddly Christmas romance. I was struggling with the Christmas spirit this year and this one helped a bit. I loved that it started with two strangers getting stuck in an elevator and striking a deal...for you guessed it a fake relationship for Christmas. fake dating tropes may be predictable but in a Christmas story it is super adorable. because we all know what will happen in a hallmark type book. But I love Samantha Chase and her writing style. I have read many of her books and cant get enough. The characters were adorable. Hannah Christy was spunky, outgoing, and driven, and Gage was a strong hunky man who didn't want to fall for his neighbor, but he fell first, and it was adorable and sweet.

cute little Christmas read to put you in the spirit. Samantha chase doesn't disappoint

Oh such a cute story.
From the first elevator scene to the last one, I was in love with Hannah and Gage.

A Christmas story you will definitely enjoy.

His for the Holidays is such a fun story, perfect for relaxing in your favorite chair before the holiday crazy or even after as you rest up for New Year's. Gage and Hannah are likable characters both together and separately, and I absolutely loved Gage's family, particularly his mother. They meet in the elevator in their building, which of course, sparks the attraction, and a combination of circumstances leads to a fake relationship for the holidays. I'll leave the rest for you to find out yourself (no spoilers here) but suffice it to say that the whole book is full of feel-good holiday vibes. We do get a wee bit of angst, but it's just right for the tone of the book, and it isn't at all over the top. Elizabeth Cottle narrates this one, and she keeps the energetic feel of the story all the way through. To the best of my recollection, this is my first time for both author and narrator, and I thoroughly enjoyed both.

Hannah and Gage's story is a great holiday read. This is a light romance that will bring a smile to your face. Hannah tried so hard to keep Gage at a distance, but these two were meant for each other. My heart ached for Gage as Hannah tried to stick with their original pretend romance when they were both gone for each other. This was a great holiday romance and definitely got me in the holiday spirit.

The narrator did a great job bringing this story to life. She voiced both Hannah and Gage well and I enjoyed the narration.

This was a cute holiday, forced proximity/fake relationship read. You get all the Hallmark movie vibes from this one, with great chemistry and laugh out loud banter between Gage and Hannah. I really enjoyed this cute read.
Elizabeth Cottle did a good job with the narration.

I received a copy of this audiobook in exchange of an honest review.

This is a sweet romance with a little spice. I loved his family! They we're fun to be around and watch them fall for each other. I think the ending was a little too lucky in how she handled her job but I'd like to live in a world where that worked.

His For The Holidays is a heartwarming feel-good story perfect for the holidays. Hannah and Gage meet when they are stuck in a stalled elevator. To bide their time, they tell each other secrets they haven’t shared with anyone else, over wine and cookies. Gage’s mom is always trying to set him up so he decides to ask Hannah to be his fake girlfriend so that he can enjoy the holidays without his mom trying to find him a date. She says no at first but then reluctantly agrees. As soon as they arrive, his mom is in crisis mode and Hannah steps in and saves the day, enduring her to everyone. It’s obvious from the beginning that Gage is smitten but Hannah seems more reluctant. Gage was definitely my favorite character. The male character being the one really wants the relationship is rare and is refreshing to see. I listened to the audiobook version and really enjoyed it.

I love a good fake dating book! Gage and Hannah find themselves trapped in their apartment’s elevator soon after Thanksgiving. While trapped for hours in the elevator they end up bonding, consuming Christmas cookies and wine, and formulating a plan for Gage to have a fake girlfriend for Christmas at his mother’s competitive retirement home. When Hannah is denied an big promotion at work, she finds herself with a consolatory paid vacation and accepts the role as Gage’s fake girlfriend. The more time they spend to together the more sparks begin to fly, and soon they may no longer be faking. This is a great Christmas book with a happy ending and I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book!

This the first book I've listened to by Samantha Chase. It was such a great holiday read/listen! Definitely my favorite this year so far. I enjoyed Gage and Hannah's story. Their chemistry and bantering made me smile and laugh throughout. A big huge smile. This was a fake romance, insta-lust/love that I didn’t want to pause when needed. I usually don't enjoy those so much, but I'mwanting to relistenalready. And I have some cookie recipes to look up!

Elizabeth Cottle is an excellent narrator. She was new to me and I will be most willing to listen to more audiobooks narrated by her. She performs male and female voices perfectly. I forgot that there was only one narrator while listening.

Thank you to NetGalley, Dreamscape Media, and Valentine PR for the free audio copy of His for the Holidays. This is my voluntary and honest review.
