My Review: 5 Stars
Presley is an American Ninja competitor, Princess Warrior, and a mistaken social media post finds her in a situation where she needs a fiance--stat! Kade is only too willing to step in and be that man, but the situation turns out to be more than either of them bargained for.
Secret crushes on a brother's best friend, along with a fake engagement, lead to some very intense swoon with this book. The chemistry showered off the pages like New Year's fireworks and I loved every minute of it. There were some obstacles to overcome, but the deep, mutual respect these characters had for each other, along with a growing adoration and family support, helped them arise to the tasks. My brothers are all younger, but it's fun to imagine if I had an older brother with a hot friend to crush on, so yes, I lived vicariously through Presley in a flashback to the past.
This author's writing style never fails to completely immerse me and I felt like I was a fly on the wall. The characters were fantastically written, both strong yet flawed, and the situations were a combination of heartwarming, hilarious, and realistic. The romantic tension was perfectly captured and captivated me, heart and soul. I couldn't read this one fast enough, but I also didn't want it to end. This is exactly the type of Christmas romance that I love best!
