Dear Santa,
When I asked for a fresh shot at love for the holidays, I didnโt mean fake dating my brotherโs grumpy best friend.
Especially since heโs also my newย client.
As a professional matchmaker, my biggest job this holiday season should be simple: find a date for the sexy single dad hockey starโaka my brotherโs best friendโfor his teamโs fancy Christmas Eve gala.
Sure Rowanโs hot as a crackling fire and spicier than a gingerbread man, but he hasnโt just sworn off romance. The Christmas hater has made a bet that I canโt find him a holidate.
Whatโs a matchmaker to do?
Win, of course. Even if it means fake dating the grinch myself to get him ready for the real thing.
Onlyโฆthese fake dates at Christmas tree farms and hot cocoa competitions in the snowy small town of Evergreen Falls start to feel a little too real as I get to know the man behind the scowl. Somewhere between kisses under the mistletoe and a snowed-in night in his cabin curled up by the fire (where the stockings arenโt the only thing hung), I realize Iโm in over my elf-loving head.
And when Rowan opens up to me at last about his painful past, Iโm determined to give my brotherโs best friend the holiday he deserves.
But what if the only gift I want him to unwrap this season isโฆ me?
Tropes: Holiday romance, brotherโs best friend, fake dating, grumpy/sunshine, small town, Christmas competition, matchmaker romance, workplace romance
Merry Little Kissmas by Lauren Blakely
Tanya’s rating: 4 of 5 stars
Merry Little Kissmas is obviously a Christmas romance. Itโs still a little early but I am ready to start listening to Christmas music, especially with all the Christmas’ Romance coming out now!
This is professional matchmaker Isla Marlowe and the sexy single dad, hockey player Rowan Bishopโs story.
Rowan is a modern-day Scrooge/Grinch and at least he believes in his family and his daughter, Mia is a cute kid. Isla is a โmatchmakerโ, and she is instructing Rowan on how to date. So, she can match him up. But their chemistry together has them falling for each other!
Merry Little Kissmas is a cute story, and I do love a great holiday romance!
