What an adorblle holiday story. It is a fast read but a light one to read around the holidays. Everyone loves a billionaire to lovers love story and this one fits the bill. I hope to be able to read more of her books!

Ava is a young, frustrated interior designer obsessed with Christmas and is currently searching for a new job after her last boss stole her designs, took credit, and fired her. Hendricks Cole is a self-made architectural billionaire, who is also a grumpy, Scrooge, and his PA is about to retire. His PA pushes Ava onto him, realizing whether or not, they both need each other. Hendricks is also trying to win the pitch to build Camryn Wren's, a famous writer, producer and director, to build her forever home, and realizes he needs Ava's help to learn everything about her,
Camryn is famous for her Christmas romances, so Ava suggests for Hendricks to watch a few movies to understand her vibes, but what he takes away from it is that Camryn is all about family, and if he is a married man, he has a better chance at commission. He proposes a fake marriage contract to Ava enlist her help until he end of December or until he gets the contact, while Ava gets a decent amount of money, free will to decorate his homes, and his client list.
Hendricks is all about the blueprints and lines when it comes to the house, so when Camryn tells him he wants the house to feel like a home, he must enlists Ava's help even more so they can pull together their designs for her new home.
If you like Christmas Hallmark movies, opposites attract, fake-relationship romances, then this is right up your alley. Hope into this cute lil Christmas romcom before the holiday season!

Cute holiday rom com with a marriage of convenience/workplace romance trope. You'll like this if you can't get enough of the Hallmark channel during Christmas, completely predictable but cozy.

This is a closed door, fake marriage romance between a boss and employee with a grumpy/sunshine trope. The characters felt pretty flat and there was no palpable connection between the two main characters. The secondary characters felt more fleshed out than the main characters. If you like Hallmark Christmas movies, though, this might be for you.

The way this MMC describes the MFC after meeting her and she works for him just made me so uncomfortable. The writing is not very good and is quite bland. Definitely not for me!

Ahh this was such a cute read! If you are a fan of cute hallmark movies, then this is definitely something you’d enjoy. Think of grumpy boss and sunshine assistant. Fake marriage trope. And fun side characters.

I really wanted to love this book.
The story is cute, and super christmas-y but it is BORING. Reading this felt like walking through quicksand. It was so hard to get through.
The characters were lovable, but something just falls flat.

This was such a sweet christmassy story!!! 🥰
It gave me a perfect christmas vibe right in the middle of March. The only thing that could make this book more perfect would be to read in December!
The story revolves around Ava and Hendricks, that after starting working together find themselfs in a fake relationship/marriage for work purposes.
The banter.... ohhh the banter. 🤭
What starts as both of them giving each other sarcasm and pickyness, slowly grows into friendship and even partnership, and of course, love.
Hendricks is kind of Scroogy and has a tough exterior that breaks with Ava's Cristmas spirit and joy.
I loved both main characters, but also Geoffrey and Colin as well. It's so good to be able to love side characters as well.

Being an interior designer who loves Christmas made Ava good at what she does but having a boss who took all her designs and then firing her made her on the hunt for a new job.
Hendricks Cole a self-made billionaire wasn’t where she thought she would find a job but his need of an assistant because his is retiring finds her thanks to his assistant thinking Ava is just what he needs as her replacement.
The story has so many characters that I really liked, and this made the story so fun to read.
Thank you NetGalley and Katie Bachand for The Worst Christmas Wife. This is my personal review.

This was a quick and cute holiday read. I am a sucker for a Christmas romance and can read them all year round. This one really did the trick for me. This was giving me all the Christmas feels and felt like a hallmark movie in book form. I recommend to anyone looking for a cute Christmas read!

It was the perfect holiday read. I love watching Hallmark Christmas movies in the winter and this book was a Hallmark movie in written form. It had some of my favorite tropes: grumpy/sunshine, office romance, fake marriage. It was short read, and the character dynamics were great. All the characters are mature and self-possessed, responsible adults. The dialogue was witty, the Christmas-y setting warmed my heart. I loved the romance between Ava and Hendricks.

I wanted this to be a cute holiday read for me, but unfortunately I just couldn’t get into it enough to keep pushing through.

This was a cute and wholesome Christmasy book. I loved the Christmas aspect and the fact that they were an architect and designer. The writing was pretty good and I enjoyed reading it, however I didn’t feel their chemistry. Their relationship felt pretty bland, I didn’t feel that they were actually in love. It just felt that they were friends at most, definitely not lovers. I also love the fake relationship trope, but I feel that in this book there just wasn’t a good enough reason for it, he just randomly thought that he should get a fake wife. All in all I enjoyed reading it so thank you netgalley for it 😊😊

This was Christmas and fake dating at it's finest! Absolutely adorable and definitely put me in the Christmas spirit.

I loved this cute Christmas romance. It was fake dating at its best!! This book is absolutely gorgeous. I actually bought a paperback copy just to keep. I still think about this book days later!!!
I just reviewed The Worst Christmas Wife by Katie Bachand. #worstchristmaswife #NetGalley

Ava is looking for a new job to showcase her interior design skills and Hendricks is in the market for a new assistant for his architecture firm. In order to sign a huge client, they have to pretend to be married for a month.

I thought this book was cute and a great holiday read. The side characters were great, and helped keep the plot moving. My main issue is how quickly the book ended. It felt like a really rushed final chapter and took me out of the book.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This was just not my taste, so I will not be reviewing in depth as I do not reflect the demographic for this book — I’m sure many others will love it, but not for me!

This was an enjoyable quick festive romance read.

The banter was very enjoyable as their relationship developed. I always love a fake dating storyline and this was no exception to that. The forced proximity and grumpy sunshine tropes just made it even better.

It really felt like watching a hallmark Christmas movie while reading it. I’d definitely recommend you give it a try.

This festive read was a cute, fun enemies to lovers story. I enjoyed the banter and the shenanigans the main characters had during their fake dating scheme and the side characters were very likeable also. It had a hallmark christmas movie feel to it (closed door romance) which if it was made into one, would be enjoyable to many.

Funny and naive Christmas story.
If you like this tropes than you definitely will enjoy reading:
~ Christmas romance
~ Billionaire romance
~ Fake relationship
~ Grumpy and sunshine.
As for me it was a little bit to much naive but it has promised Christmas vibe.

Thanks Netgalley for providing copy of this book
