Wanted: one hot billionaire to pose as my Christmas boyfriend. Must be willing to make my cheating ex jealous when you kiss me under the mistletoe at all the holiday parties. Bonus points if you make him cry.

To my surprise my billionaire boss is more than up for the challenge of coming down the chimney as my holiday boyfriend. The sexy single dad desperately needs a plus one at a Christmas Eve wedding, where he’s the best man and I’m the maid of honor.

And since my ex is in the wedding party too, my boss and I team up as a pair of insta-lovebirds for the holiday season, including during the annual week-long Christmas competition leading up to the snowy destination wedding.

But soon staying up late to string the best popcorn balls ever turns into a scorching night in his arms where the chestnuts aren’t the only thing roasting on the open fire.

Can all these winter wonderland nights seeking revenge turn into the real thing when we return to the office? Or are we destined to go the way of a Christmas tree on New Year’s?

5 STARS! A festive, fun holiday romance!

Lauren Blakely captured all the magic of the season—with a steamy twist—in My Favorite Holidate, a swoon-worthy winter holiday romance. I listened to the audiobook, a full cast production narrated in duet by Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke. Their natural chemistry ratcheted up the electricity between these characters and both Samantha and Jason turned in fantastic performances. Joined by Andi Arndt, Connor Crais, Vanessa Edwin, Andi Eloise, Teddy Hamilton, Erin Mallon, Noah B. Perez, Shakira Shute and Ryan West, this was a thoroughly entertaining and engaging holiday production.

This fake-dating, workplace romance between Wilder, a billionaire single dad, and his employee, Fable, is full of electric chemistry, playful banter, and a sexy build-up that’s as heartfelt as it is steamy. Blakely pulls out her full repertoire to skillfully weave the holiday and fake-dating themes into this story, creating a cozy, festive backdrop that makes this romance feel even more enchanting. A captivating mix of warmth, humor, and undeniable attraction, this holiday love story is a true seasonal treat! Five smooches from me for My Favorite Holidate by Lauren Blakely!

Delightfully sweet and spicey holiday romance!

I loved this naughty and nice holiday romance! Wilder and Fable’s story is entertaining, hilarious, heartfelt, and sizzling hot! When Fable discovers her cheating ex at a holiday party where her sister is getting engaged, she is determined not to ruin the occasion. When everyone is invited to a week of Christmas cheer and holiday themed competitions, leading up to her sister's wedding at her bosses resort, she knows she needs date. Wilder has always been attracted to Fable, but she was off limits as his employee. When his aunt wants to fix him up on a date for the wedding, he sees his chance to help Fable and himself as well, by being each other's fake date. What could go wrong when they compete as a couple, but are under a microscope with their competitors? As they compete in each holiday themed challenge and the nights are heating up, they give in to their desires. Can they keep fooling their family and friends, or are they just fooling themselves, when they start to want more, but the end is fast approaching? I loved Wilder and Fable together as they helped each other overcome their fear to open their hearts to love. I also loved their family and friends who are so hilarious and supportive, adding so much fun and heart to this delightfully sweet and spicey holiday romance.
I loved this full cast narration with Jason Clarke and Samantha Brentmoor as Wilder and Fable, and featuring Andi Arndt, Connor Crais, Vanessa Edwin, Andi Eloise, Teddy Hamilton, Erin Mallon, Noah B. Perez, Shakira Shute, Ryan West! They are all perfectly cast and their humor, chemistry, and easy ability to bring laughter and joy throughout this holiday story really warmed my heart.

Feel good, easy read

Such great characters and an easy to ready story line. It’s fun and steamy but not too extreme or weird.

Love it

So cute this is the cutest Christmas book. Smiled the whole book. It’s just a feel good Christmas time

Such a great way to start t the season!

I am already excited Christmas is coming and now Lauren Blakely has pulled me into the holiday spirit completely! This is a fun fake relationship, office romance that is packed with chemistry, fun games, spicy scenes, those I love and those I love to hate! Gingerbread houses and Christmas carols bring in all the excitement along with a single dad with his daughter as he falls for his coworker. Wilder knows how to woo a woman, but trust is a whole other issue. Fable was humiliated by her ex and is looking to show her new love. Together these two find a love like no other. It's the perfect way to get into the holiday spirit, enjoy a bit of fun, and get to see some of the characters from other of Lauren's books that I have come to love. It's the perfect escape

And making it even better is the cast of narrators picked for this! Jason Clarke is Wilder, the one that is incredibly romantic and tends to trip over his own feelings. Clarke plays him to a "t"! Samantha Brentmoor is Fable, a bit quirky, very matter of fact and truly lovable. This team always is amazing, and with this story, they are Christmas magic. Add in the reprising of roles by the others in the cast, as well as secondary characters adds depth and a feeling of enjoying the holiday with family. Love this! Can't recommend it enough!

Slow burn so worth it

Tropes:
🎁Billionaire Boss
🎄Office Romance

🎄Single Dad
🎁One Bed
🎄Holiday Rom-Com

If you like any of those tropes then this book is for you.
Christmas is in the air, that is for sure. The setting and all the games from a week-long Christmas competition are entertaining and will make you want to embrace this holiday season.

Fable is a fun and likeable character who finds herself in a bit of a pickle. She doesn’t want to let her sister down, so she needs a date for her sister's Christmas wedding. Wilder needs to NOT be set up by his aunt throughout the holiday season, so they decide to start fake dating.

While putting on a show for everyone, they fall for each other. The romantic setting to the feelings that have been riding just below the surface for a while.

The narration of a full cast makes the Christmas magic come to life.
Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke perform this audio in duet style, my favourite. 😉
The supporting cast just added to the Christmas spirit.
