About this item

In the battle of the ex vs. the fake boyfriend, guess who wins? Spoiler: It's not the ex.

Syanne: My Christmas? It’s a hot mess express. I caught my ex cheating, now he’s here at the airport like he’s still invited to my family holiday. And guess what? He’s telling everyone within shouting distance that I’m lying about having a new boyfriend. Which is true, but still! It’s like that nightmare—the one where you show up at work wearing nothing but your underwear. Kill. Me. Now.

Reid: My Christmas? Boring as a fruitcake. Or at least it was until I saw that jerk making a scene at the expense of his girlfriend. I can't just sit back and watch him humiliate her. I have to step in. And it has absolutely nothing to do with how cute she is. Well, maybe a little. But still, she needs a hero, and I volunteer as tribute!

You’ll love this accidental kiss, secret billionaire, fake relationship Christmas romance from USA Today bestselling author Tamie Dearen, complete with laugh-out-loud moments, swoon-worthy kisses, and a family recipe for Chocolate Brownie Mint Bars. (Besides, it's got the best meet-cute ever!)

Syanne is in the airport in Houston flying to CO for Christmas with her family. She is talking to her sister on the phone. Reid is sitting next to her and overhears how she caught her boyfriend cheating. When the ex shows up, Reid pretends to be her boyfriend and defends her from the jerk. With the scene at the airport, everyone else now thinks they really are dating. Reid owns the St. Nick Mountain Cabins where they are going, but he doesn't tell Syanne because he doesn't want her to know that he's wealthy. Her ex was only dating her because of the famous people in her family.

Reid's family - parents and brother - were killed 7 years ago. It is just he and his grandmother for Christmas.

Such a sweet, fun book! I loved the banter between all of the characters. So funny!

This is a sweet story (pun intended) with a surprise ending that made me laugh. Honestly, I knew the ending was coming, what I didn't see is how it played out.

The characters were fun and I enjoyed getting to know them. My favorite part was the eavesdropping at the airport and the matter-of-fact way the "big reveal" was handled. Isn't it true that often the big things we worry about aren't as big as we feared they would be? I highly recommend this story.

Romance, sweet, contemporary, Christmas; series but stand alone read
Syanne and Reid’s story started accidentally in an airport as they were both flying to the same resort. Reid rescues Syanne from her ex making a scene, and gives her the upper hand. They enjoy each others company and when they realize they are going to the same resort, they have great conversation, fun and just realize they want to spend more time together. Time is the best ingredient and they find a fantastic friendship, and incredible attraction.
Lovely, sweet, fun and flirty romantic read.

This is such a fun book. The “meet cute” is absolutely the best. I enjoyed getting to know Reid and Syanne and their families. I loved the “accidental” kisses. You should read this short novel.

Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2024
What an endearing and sweet short story. Reid could not help but overhear a woman in the airport complaining about her cheating ex boyfriend to someone on the phone. Then the ex boyfriend shows up to go on holiday with her anyway. Not on his watch. He steps in to pretend to be her new boyfriend. Both have sworn off of dating and decide to continue the act in front of their families in order to discourage the matchmaking. Little did they know the changes that would happen in their lives when they began the charade.
