Review<\/b><\/h4>\n

3.5 stars!<\/b><\/p>\n

This is a short and fun novella, a fake relationship\/close proximity romance that is sweet and sexy with a feel-good finish.<\/p>\n

Clover\u2019s life was thrown into turmoil when she found her boyfriend in bed with her younger sister. She was devastated by the betrayal and ran from her beloved small country town and moved to the city so she wouldn\u2019t have to face either of them. Now, her sister and her ex are getting married, and she\u2019s heading home for the wedding two days before Christmas.<\/p>\n

She is stunned when her colleague and workplace grump, Nick, offers to go with her as her fake boyfriend. She\u2019s stunned, considering that Nick barely speaks to her and looks at her with contempt, but he looks like a sexy Clarke Kent, and the man gives a convincing argument. Plus, she\u2019s desperate to look like she\u2019s moved on, so she accepts his offer and they take off for a weekend spent in a cabin in the snow.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a fun set-up, and though Clover may be oblivious, it\u2019s clear that Nick has feelings for her, and he has a motive for their weekend away. It\u2019s in the intense stares, the fake-not-so-fake PDA, and his flirty comments. Nick is not the type to play games and he doesn\u2019t hold anything back, and before too long, his mission becomes clear.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to hold your hand. I\u2019m going to grab your ass. And I\u2019m definitely going to kiss that beautiful mouth. And we aren\u2019t done here. Not by a long shot.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The story moves quickly, but there\u2019s great chemistry, and I was fully on board as Clover and Nick\u2019s relationship shifts from fake to very much real.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a quick read, and I enjoyed watching these two come together. And there\u2019s an epilogue which provides great closure and a glimpse of their future, and I really enjoyed this one.<\/p>\n

3.5 stars.<\/p>\n
