Genre: Romcom, Contemporary Romance, Christmas

My Review:

I love a good romcom and that is what you get when you read While You Were Skiing. I had a hard time putting it down.

I love Piper's character. I did not understand her crush on self-absorbed, business-minded Lucas. What could possibly go wrong when she agrees to fake date Lucas and go to his family's house for the Christmas holidays?

Read for:

🎿 hazelnut creamer

🎿fake dating

🎿witty banter

🎿the flirting

🎿ski resort

🎿 Lucas' family

🎿Found family

🎿 While You Were Sleeping vibes

🎿heartfelt moments

🎿 unique gift exchanges

While this is somewhat of a love triangle (which I hate), this one was done well. While Piper might have started out wishing there were real feelings on Lucas' part, once she really got to know him, she realized he wasn't all that she had built him up to be. From the moment Piper and Mac met, I was rooting for them. I loved their interactions.

This was such a fun Christmas romcom, I highly recommend it. Thank you to the author for the opportunity to read this book. I was not required to provide a positive review. All thoughts and feelings are my own.

★★★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads):  

She said yes to a fake relationship.
She didn’t expect to fall for the wrong brother.

Piper’s had a crush on her coworker for three years. So when he asks her to join him on his family’s Christmas holiday as his fake girlfriend, she can’t turn down the opportunity to show him how good they’d be together for real. There’s just one tiny problem. She may have oversold her abilities on the slopes. As in, she’s never skied in her life. What’s the worst that could happen?

Mac’s at a crossroads. Should he join his father in the family business or continue flying planes for the Air Force? He doesn’t want to disappoint his family, but does that have to mean giving up his own dreams? And what about the gorgeous girlfriend his younger brother brought on the family vacation and then left to fend for herself? Surely, someone has to make sure she feels welcome.

As Piper gets a glimpse of what a real relationship with her crush would look like, while also spending time with a man who is his complete opposite, she wonders if perhaps she’s hitched herself to the wrong man.

Fans of While You Were Sleeping will enjoy this grumpy/sunshine, fake dating, meddling family, falling for the wrong brother, just kisses Christmas romcom.
