Really loved this one! So cute book and the romance in this one was really promising and cute. Would recommend to everyone who loves a bingeable romance book. You will not be dissapointed with this one. Read it!

I love a fake dating storyline. This book is perfect, light and fun- highly recommend for your holiday reading lists!

3.5/5 stars! This is a very Hallmark-esqe Christmas romance. I loved the humor in this book and features the fake dating trope. I really liked Lucas. Was hoping for a bit more from Sarah. She was a bit more immature than I'd like, but overall enjoyed the story.

A festive treat filled with warmth and charm. The small-town setting and delightful characters made for an engaging and cosy read. I enjoyed the mix of romance, humour, and Christmas spirit, which brought the story to life. While it followed some predictable holiday tropes, it still delivered plenty of feel-good moments.

Only for Christmas by Tracy Corbett is a charming holiday read that leans into the classic fake-dating trope with a festive twist. The premise is engaging: a reluctant work crush, an awkward office Christmas party, and a dashing doctor-next-door stepping in to save the day. The setup promises plenty of humour, romance, and holiday cheer.

The protagonist is relatable, and her attempts to navigate an uncomfortable situation are both amusing and endearing. Lucas, the hot doctor neighbour, adds a touch of swoon-worthy charm, and their chemistry builds nicely over the course of the story. The festive backdrop is cozy and adds to the light-hearted appeal.

However, the characters, though likable, feel somewhat underdeveloped, and their connection doesn’t delve much beyond the surface.

Overall, Only for Christmas is a sweet and easy read, perfect for those looking for a light, feel-good holiday romance. It’s enjoyable but doesn’t quite stand out in a sea of similar festive rom-coms. If you’re in the mood for something breezy and festive, it’s worth a read, but don’t expect it to leave a lasting impression.

Tracy Corbett’s Only for Christmas is a hilarious and heartwarming romantic comedy perfect for the holiday season.

Sarah has absolutely no interest in dating whatsoever. She’s given up on romance and finding Mr Right is definitely nowhere near her list of priorities for the future. She is perfectly happy being single and nothing and nobody is going to dissuade her otherwise. Unfortunately Sarah has a colleague who wants to convince her to give dating another try and she would sooner stick needles in her eyes than date him. But how is she going to get him off her back?

Resigning, changing her phone number and emigrating to another country are all possibilities she has considered – and rejected outright, naturally. But could inventing a fake relationship help her to get some peace from this overzealous colleague? Would her gorgeous doctor neighbour agree to be her plus one for Christmas? Or will pretending to be Lucas’ girlfriend end up leading to heartache for Sarah?

Sarah and Lucas were only meant to be a couple for a few weeks. But what will happen when both of them realise that they want their fake relationship to become all too real…

If you watch Love Actually every Christmas, then you are simply going to swoon over Tracy Corbett’s gorgeous, charming and gorgeously escapist new novel, Only for Christmas. A fun read that touches the heart and will make you laugh out loud, contemporary romance fans will not be able to resist Tracy Corbett’s Only for Christmas.

Tracy Corbett is a new author to me but that’s about to change because after reading this heartwarming,feel good story I need to check out her other works. If you love the holiday season and books that have you feeling like you have just entered a Hallmark Movie look no further than Only For Christmas. It’s a magical read with wonderful characters and the perfect mix of love and humour.
Not only is Lucas her new hot neighbour he is also a new doctor at the hospital where Sarah works and he seems like the perfect choice to fake date her. Problem is will he agree …..
I smiled and I swooned as I joined Lucas and Sarah on their fake dating journey. A magical, witty, heartwarming story that I really enjoyed.

Sarah, head of HR at a London hospital, is still recovering from being jilted and has sworn off men. When the new hospital director, Dr. Lucas Moore, takes an interest in her, Sarah agrees to let him pretend to be her boyfriend. Despite her prickly demeanor, Sarah finds herself drawn to the sweet and kind Lucas. Their slow-burn romance unfolds against the backdrop of Christmas in London, with vivid descriptions adding to the cozy atmosphere. Alongside their relationship, other storylines involving nosy neighbors, family drama, and Sarah's unsettling boss provide depth to the narrative. Emotional moments and relatable characters make this a heartwarming read, despite some uncomfortable themes. Overall, "Christmas in London" is an engaging story with a satisfying conclusion and a perfect pick for the holiday season.

Great festive season rom com for Christmas time. The storyline and writing style was amazing. Characters were very loveable

this was a cute solid christmas read. great for the season. it wasn't too short and wasnt too long. I really recommend this.

Oh so fun and cheerful this romantic festive feel story is the perfect book to curl up with in front of the fire.

Only for Christmas was a surprisingly deep read!

I expected a more lighthearted fake dating romance, but the book held so much more! From a nasty divorce process, a cranky old neighbor with a sweet storyline, a pup that will warm your heart, and a boss that comes from your nightmares. There may be some triggers in this one for a few readers, but overall, I found it to be a well written story and an enjoyable read!

Thank you NetGalley and canelo for my ARC in exchange for my honest feedback!

This was such a fun Christmas themed read and I absolutely loved the characters and the plot that went alongside them. I would highly recommend this to someone for a festive themed read!

A lovely Christmas, fake dating story! Beautiful setting and plenty of Christmas feels. An enjoyable read.

The Christmas vibes in this book were everything! Such a cute and fun read. Highly recommend if you're looking to emerse yourself in a festive story!

Absolutely loved this!! Such a great festive read. I really enjoyed the plot, it was a great take on a fake-dating romance. There is a lot of christmassy vibes, boy falls first, cute interactions with nephews, a protective dog, a grumpy elderly neighbour, and overbearing colleagues. I just adored this and can definitely see myself rereading it every December.

Such a cute Christmasy read I really enjoyed.

Lucas and Sarah were great characters. I loved the fake dating plot and the elements of reverse grumpy sunshine.

There are some heavier topics explored but they’re done in a good way.

If you enjoy festive fake dating romances , or just a good read, I’d recommend this book.

4.5 stars

This was my second Tracy Corbett book and it will not be the last! I loved everything about this one and loved the whole Christmassy vibes I got from it. I devoured it in less than a day!

This was a fun and emotional fake dating with reverse grumpy sunshine that I absolutely adored! Both Lucas and Sarah were amazing characters, though numerous times I did want to scream at Sarah even if you could totally understand her reasoning behind a lot of her decisions!

This book also deals with sexual harassment in the work place so please be aware of this before heading into it!

Thank you so much to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Really charming story, gorgeous setting, very well written, flowed well, great characters that i could really connect too, and it was a lovely read. I always enjoy Tracys books, and this is a gread addition to her repetoire.

This book was full of festivities and magical moments. I really enjoyed this holiday read. There is definitely workplace hostility from the FMC and her bosses unwanted advances. However, the other MMC happily 'rescues' her from her troubles by fake dating her.
