My Review:

While An Unconventional Christmas Love Story is part of a series, it easily reads as a standalone novel (I have not read any of the others in the series).

This book was a lot of fun and very unique.

Read for:

🎄best friends to more

🎄Halloween meets Christmas

🎄fake dating

🎄crazy neighbor

🎄witty banter

And a few things I want to say, but don't want to spoil.

★★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads):  

Dear Santa, Does flirting with my best friend put me on your naughty list? Asking for a friend. Love, Minnie

I used to think Christmas was the most wonderful time of the year, filled with magic, mistletoe, and family except I don’t have one...or that special person to spend cozy nights with in front of the twinkling tree while sipping hot cocoa. But I know exactly who’s on my wish list.

The problem is Tyler and I are besties and a relationship would ruin the dynamic in our friend group. Not to mention he flirts with half the women in the city, including the department store elves.

When a blizzard-sized misunderstanding with my boss leaves me looking greener than the Grinch, I’m desperate for damage control. Tyler swoops in to save the holiday using little more than a mitten, tinsel, and a candy cane. Don’t ask. He also offers to escort me to the company Christmas party.

In order to make our ruse believable, we go on a practice date then another... The whole thing is unconventional, especially when a guy named Kris Kringle accidentally marries us.

I’m not complaining because my secret crush is also my secret Santa, but do I have the guts to give him the biggest gift of all, the truth about how I feel?

This funny, flirty, and festive romantic comedy is clean and a companion story to the Falling into Happily Ever After Sweet Rom Com series.

  1. This definitely sounds like one I'd like! Fake dating is always a trope I enjoy, especially when it turns into something more. Thanks for putting it on my radar!
