A holiday romance from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely, with spice and fake dating that follows a fiery designer who teams up with her charming billionaire boss for a week-long Christmas competition, and their pretend holiday romance soon starts to feel all too real--now with a never-before-published short story.
"Wanted: hot billionaire to pose as my Christmas boyfriend. Must be willing to make my cheating ex jealous by kissing me under the mistletoe at holiday parties. Bonus if you make him cry."
To Fable's surprise, her billionaire boss, Wilder Blaine, is more than willing to take on the challenge of playing her holiday boyfriend. The sexy single dad desperately needs a plus one for a Christmas Eve wedding, where he's the best man and she's the maid of honor. With her ex also in the wedding party, the two team up as a pair of insta-lovebirds for the holiday season. Their partnership includes participating in the annual week-long Christmas competition leading up to the snowy destination wedding.
What starts as late nights crafting the best popcorn balls for the contest soon turns into a passionate night together, where the sparks between them are impossible to ignore. But when the holidays end, can their winter wonderland romance turn into something real back at the office? Or are they destined to go the way of a Christmas tree on New Year's Day?

I love a good fake dating book, but this one takes the cake. This book is a small town, office romance with a billionaire single dad at Chriatmas time. What else could you want? It has tension, spice laugh out loud moments and emotional moments. I highly recommend this for a fun holiday read. It's one I will go back to every year.

I really enjoyed this story. All the elements for a great tale…. Family, friends, small town vibes in Christmas setting… and Wilder and Fable were the perfect couple for this story. My only regret is that I read it now instead of December!!
4 stars – My Favorite Holidate by Lauren Blakely is a lighthearted fun holiday rom-com. The FMC, Fable, discovers her boyfriend cheating on her at her sister’s engagement party. Her single billionaire boss, Wilder Blaine, offers a fake dating relationship to help Fable get through the wedding as her recent ex is a member of the wedding party. In the process, Wilder gets his matchmaking aunt off his back. It’s a win-win for each of them. Except they fall in love. It’s a fun festive spicy ride and a really cute story with a great supporting cast of characters. Overall, a good read. Fable gets into some OTT situations and it must be nice to have someone with oodles of money give you everything you want and need. Quite a few good tropes here: coworkers/office romance, single dad, one bed, billionaire romance, and fake dating.A huge thank you to NetGalley, Lauren Blakely and Atria Books for allowing me to read an ARC. All thoughts and opinions expressed here are my own.
A cute and sometimes funny fake relationship story. Great HEA with an outstanding Christmas gift. Well written with wonderful characters and good steam. I will definitely be reading more from this author.
