About this listen

Falling for my best friend’s brother while pretending we’re engaged to save our hometown at Christmas—what could go wrong?

There's no place like home for the holidays ... especially for Lesley Carver. Life in the big city just wasn't her jam and now she's back in Hickory Falls, working at the family diner and helping her mom after she took a tumble. Lesley longs to build a life here, working at the cafe, selling her handmade ornaments and ... er, apparently reviving her high school crush on her best friend’s older brother. Only one problem, her mom wants her to leave Hickory Falls far behind.

Jamal Gainey is beyond busy keeping the family farm afloat. But when the mayor ropes him into pretending to date his little sister's best friend to help make the town into a Christmas destination, he finds he doesn't want to say no. Plus oops, a reporter has already dubbed them “Mr. and Mrs. Christmas” and the story may have gone a teensy bit viral on social media.

As the story draws tourists from far and wide, bringing much needed life back to Hickory Falls, the ruse starts to feel all too real. "Mr. and Mrs. Christmas" takes on a life of its own even as Jamal and Lesley start to realize their relationship isn’t just a Christmas miracle for the town, but the miracle they both need.

Perfect holiday read

This was super cute and definitely gave Hallmark Christmas movie vibes. If you're looking for an easy listen to add some holiday cheer, then this is perfect. I enjoyed the community feel of this book and would love to hear more about some of the characters including the main characters.
