I received an advance copy of the book from Atria Books. All review opinions are my own.

This book was really cute! I was reading Lauren Blakely’s Love and Hockey series which was where I was introduced to Wilder and Fable and when I saw that they had their own book, I knew I needed to read it! It definitely did not disappoint! Wilder, a billionaire and owner of the Renegades football team and Fable, an artistic merchandise designer for his football team, enter a mutually beneficial agreement over the holiday season. This agreement gets Wilder’s aunt off his back about setting him up and Fable gets to get back at her ex! Sparks fly in this heart warming love story!

My Favorite Holidate- Lauren Blakely

Spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️

This book was so good. It almost felt like two parts or a duet- the first half was big city, workplace, billionaire, boss/employee, fake dating and the second half was small town, holiday, Christmas revenge games against her ex, but also shacking up in the cute chalets and the fake dating is not so fake anymore. They were fighting it so hard. I can always count on Lauren to crack me up. And I love seeing the different Christmas kinks this time of year in all the holiday books, and this one did not disappoint.

When Fable Calloway needs a date to forget about her ex that’s always around she never expected to get her boss, Wilder Blaine, involved but, when a moment of opportunity appears they go with the flow of the moment. Now, pretending to date at the office holiday games and her sister’s wedding can they keep it professional? Omg, this is an adorable single dad/boss holiday romcom. Cute and lighthearted, perfect for the holiday season. P.S., if you’re not a fan of eggnog there is one scene that will make you never want it again lol!!! Get ready for some holiday cheer and reindeer games. TY NetGalley for the early read. Told in first person and dual POV.

I LOVE a nerdy single dad trope and Wilder did not disappoint! Yeah, he’s a billionaire but you would honestly never know hahaha he’s also such a good dad!!! And Fabels ex ??? Oooof he deserves worse honestly lol

This was such a fun, giggly time! The cover was the first thing that caught my eye because of how CUTE it was but the book was just as good! I loved the dynamic between Fable and Wilder and their back and forth was EVERYTHING! This is perfect if you're looking for a holiday romance for the holiday season! Detailed reviews will be up on my platforms soon!
