Faking Christmas

By: Cindy Steel

Narrated by: Justis Bolding

One little white lie—that's all it took. Now I'm suddenly having to fake-date my work nemesis to get through a week at a Vermont Christmas lodge with my family.

The problem? I can't stand Miles Taylor. Not only that, but I don't date people I work with. But I can handle it. I've had practice faking my emotions for years. So it shouldn't matter that Miles never lets me get away with anything. And that he happens to boil my blood hotter than a steaming pot of wassail. So when he throws his annoying grin my way or forces me on dates he knows I'll hate, I'll just grit my teeth and smile.

Or maybe not.

Did I mention that Miles is the one person in the world I can't seem to fool? When my emotions begin feeling less like a sham and his arms feel way too comfortable, it makes me think that maybe Miles had a plan of his own. And I'm starting to like it a lot more than mine.

Even better as an audiobook!

I loved the book when it first came out, and the narrator did such a good job that she made it even better to listen to!

Olive's life as a self-manifesting doormat was a bit hard to listen to at first. Hearing how her constant conflicts with Miles eventually ends up bringing out the best of them both was fun & romantic. Definitely worth the credit!

*Romance level: passionate kisses, but nothing graphic

*Potential trigger: heroine is dealing with the anniversary of loss of a parent to cancer, not depressing or overly detailed, mainly discussion of how we move forward & remember

Amazing

I’m so obsessed with this book! This was a reread for me and I loved experiencing it with the audio! The narrator was fantastic and brought it to life in the most joyful way! It made me laugh out loud so many times!

I love Cindy Steel’s teasing heroes and Miles is just so extremely lovable! I loved every single thing about this story!

Don’t miss listening to this amazing book while you wrap presents or make Christmas cookies!

Cute and Engaging

Really sweet and funny story! Though I feel like all of these love stories are predictable, I did enjoy the fact that they didn’t have a big fight and then make up at the end. I finished this book in two days, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Again and again

I loved listening to this book. it was fun, sweet, and memorable. I want to listen to it again, right now.

perfect narration to my favorite book

It may seem odd to have a Christmas-themed book as my favorite book, but such is my life. This book is so good. I have read this 4 or 5 times in the last few months. I finally got the audio book, and I'm so glad I did. The narrator has just the right amount of snark for the female main character. She does a good job with voicing the male main character as well. Cindy Steele is an amazing writer and this will always be a favorite story of mine to listen to, any time of the year!
