About this listen

Abby Carpenter is in a tailspin knowing she is about to spend 10 days in the company of her ex-girlfriend - who is now engaged to her brother - for a family holiday gathering in Red River, New Mexico. The same ex-girlfriend who last year at Christmas had lured her into bed. Abby’s solution? A pretend girlfriend for the holidays would surely keep her ex away and in her own room at night, right?

Nic Bennett’s life has been far from ideal and Christmas is her most dreaded holiday of all as she relives horrors from the past. When an attractive stranger approaches her with the offer of a chance to get away for ten days, she agrees but with a counteroffer that brings both anxiety and excitement to the desperate Abby.

Among the holiday lights and snow-covered grandeur, the lines between pretend and reality blur as the two women have the time of their lives while Abby learns it isn’t her ex she cannot resist and Nic learns what it means to be part of a family for Christmas.

A proposition, a counteroffer, and a Christmas charade heal two souls and meld two hearts into one.

It seems like a cliche but it is so much more. Excellent main characters and the mother is fun too. Worth registering too next Christmas

More than the sum of its parts

Really enjoyed listening to this. From the title and description it seemed like it wasn’t gonna have much of a storyline but it did and I breezed through way too quickly.

Another good story by Gerri Hill with the added bonus of being read by Abby Craden who brings these stories to life. I have enjoyed all by Gerri Hill and already downloaded another of he title's.

I know that tastes are subjective but this was a fabulous story, which for me was enhanced by Abby Craden’s narration , I both love it and hate it when you reach the end of the story, it’s feels like losing best friends. Thank you for an enjoyable read the last few days have been made glorious.

Absolutely brilliant story

I loved this book! sadly I liked it so much i listened to the whole thing over two evenings (Christmas evening to be exact )

The characters were great I liked the holiday vibe it made my Christmas 🎄

Abby Craden and Gerri Hill are the perfect duo.

A second book would be great . I want to know the mums reaction to calling Nik the wrong name.

A beautiful Christmas lesbian love story.

First time I’ve disliked a Gerri Hill novel. Abbey normally does a great job, but I found the voices for both characters really annoying and cringy. The story itself I found tedious.

Disappointing.
