Audiobook Review for My Favorite Holidate by Lauren Blakely

 Audiobook Review for My Favorite Holidate by Lauren Blakely 

Published:   October 15, 2024 by Lauren Blakely Books 

Genre:  Christmas Romance 

 

Taken from Goodreads:  Wanted: one hot billionaire to pose as my Christmas boyfriend. Must be willing to make my cheating ex jealous when you kiss me under the mistletoe at all the holiday parties. Bonus points if you make him cry. 
 
To my surprise my billionaire boss is more than up for the challenge of coming down the chimney as my holiday boyfriend. The sexy single dad desperately needs a plus one at a Christmas Eve wedding, where he’s the best man and I’m the maid of honor. 
 
And since my ex is in the wedding party too, my boss and I team up as a pair of insta-lovebirds for the holiday season, including during the annual week-long Christmas competition leading up to the snowy destination wedding. 
 
But soon staying up late to string the best popcorn balls ever turns into a scorching night in his arms where the chestnuts aren’t the only thing roasting on the open fire. 
 
Can all these winter wonderland nights seeking revenge turn into the real thing when we return to the office? Or are we destined to go the way of a Christmas tree on New Year’s? 

 

My Thoughts:  Wow!  I cannot believe that my earbuds did not melt while listening to this book.   Each of the narrators, and there were many, did a perfect job bringing this book to life.   I could feel the attraction and the heat through their words as they each brought their characters to life.   

The story itself was a fun sexy Christmas story.   I liked the concept of needing a date and then falling for the fake date.  It is not a new trope but it is a fun one when done right.  Lauren Blakely did it right.   She turned up the attraction, had them respect each other, and of course, they fell in love.   A story like this has to have a HEA, it is just fun to see how the characters get there.   

My Favorite Holidate is a fun, sweet, sexy Christmas book.  I recommend listening to it as I did.  The narrators are amazing and perfect for the story. 

Thank you to the author for a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.
