It's the perfect Christmas love story. Margot Murray is a newly single, high-flying businesswoman with no interest in a cutesy seasonal romance. Ben Gibson is an unlucky-in-love sweetheart in need of a woman to bring home for the holidays. Together, they make a pact: Margot gets a blissful week away from London in a picture-perfect manor, in exchange for posing as Ben's girlfriend. The story can only go one way. Margot is sure to fall in love for real. And she does. With Ben's sister, Ellie. What could possibly go wrong?

Thoughts

I listened to the audiobook of this, so checked in for an hour or so each day over Christmas. It was a nice story, actually, a slight twist on the usual tale of someone taking a fake partner home for Christmas to please the family - this time the fake girlfriend falls for the sister and twists and turns ensue. I liked that everyone was so respectful of everyone else’s feelings and giving them space to work through it all, it was just a nice and calm tale, told well.
