Publisher's summary

You have to kiss me!

Those were the words I blurted out to my employee seconds before asking him to be my fake boyfriend.

When my parents told me they were coming to Sugarplum Falls earlier than expected and asked me to attend their friends holiday party I knew it was all a ruse to set me up with their son. So, I needed a plan and fast.

I was surprised when Zach agreed and fell right into the role of loving, doting boyfriend. But what caught me even more off guard was how easy it seemed to be for us to be together even when no one was around for us to fake it.

Regardless of how right it might have felt, there were too many reasons why I couldn't date Zach. I had already convinced my heart, but his was another story.

Light-hearted Christmas fun!

I was drawn in from the first sentence! This was an easy fun book that will keep you laughing!
Andi owns the town bakery and doesn't have time for love. So when her parents want to set her up she finds a way out of it by talking her employee into fake dating her. Zach on the other had decides to use this as a way to spend time with her. Now he is her date to the party he was supposed to get her out of!
This book has the Baca touch where the book is mostly fluffy goodness but still has serous moments that make you feel for the characters. Don't miss this cute short Christmas book that will make you want to get some candy canes of all variations!

Another yummy and spicy holiday treat!!

Blame It On The Candy Canes is book #3 in the Superplum Falls series of holiday novellas. This small-town, fake dating gem was just what you will need to get your holiday spirit fired up. Andi owns Sugarplum Sweets and is doing well with her business. Her mother is wanting to set her up on a date for an upcoming holiday party and Andi wants no part of it. She asks Zach, her employee, to be her fake boyfriend to avoid going to the party. Zach is more than happy to help her out, but he's all in for this adventure! The author has this special talent to transport you to this magical small-town (think Hallmark sugary sweet), but then spice it up (think Passionflix) for that perfect balance of love and lust. Andi and Zach are a perfect pairing for the holidays! *And I really do wish they would make this series into movies!!

The narration was really good. Mollee Bensin is a new narrator for me and she did a great job with all the voices.

OMG, I love Andi and Zach!

This is book 3 in the Sugarplum Falls Series and the first time I have heard Mollee Bensin as a narrator.
Narrators make or break any book so I am skeptical when I listen to new narrators because I have my go-to, all around favs but Mollee nailed it with this! She really gives you the feeling that you are her and she visually places you inside the story! Amazing job!

I love reading Christmas books and when they are shorter books, I get to read more!! 😊

Tropes:
💜 Small town
💜 Fake Dating
💜 Forced proximity
💜 Holiday themed
💜 Steamy

Andi and Zack finally get their story!
Andi concentrated on her bakery and didn’t have time to date nor was she really looking to date but Zach wasn’t giving up. When Andi needs a fake boyfriend, Zach was perfect for the role and he was all IN!

A great fake dating holiday romance!

Andi, the owner of Sugarplum Sweets, and Zach, her employee make arrangements to fake date each other to get Andi's parents off her back and for them to stop seeing her up with people.

I love a good fake dating trope! This one did not disappoint. Zach knows exactly what he wants and how to get it. Andi can be stubborn, but once she finally realizes Zach is the one for her, things start making sense to her. Throw in some snowy holiday weather, a power outage, and some yummy lattes with candy canes and you have the perfect recipe for love. Even though this is a novella, you aren't left feeling like you're missing something by the end.

THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU IF: You're looking for a quick and spicy holiday read where you can also explore other holiday books!
