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.

Story
Being a single mom was hard, but celebrating our first Christmas without my girl’s father, in the Christmas-obsessed town of Sugarplum Falls, was even harder. I knew they needed me to be there with them, but I was sinking quickly, barely keeping my head above water. That was, until a handsome man came into the salon I worked at, needing my help.

I had one job. One responsibility. Lust wasn't a distraction that I had time for, and love was even further off the table. My career was demanding and required my undivided attention which left little time for romance. But when my sister went missing after meeting a guy from the same dating app as the beautiful way too young for me college student that I had been assigned to protect, everything changed.

I wasn't dreaming of a white Christmas, nor were my troubles out of sight. I had a demanding job and pressing deadlines, which meant it was far from being a silent night. When I asked my grandma if I could stay in her cabin over the holiday, she was more than thrilled to have me back home. But she failed to mention the sexy handyman remodeling the house, or that he might not make it down the mountain with the snowstorm moving in.

Miles Sexton was the kind of guy I avoided at all costs. The man’s confidence and good looks screamed heartbreaker, and I’d had enough of that for a lifetime. But it wasn’t easy to avoid someone when they parked their food truck right outside the upscale restaurant you worked at as the executive chef. Or when they constantly came in, asking to borrow ingredients because they failed to be prepared.

It was supposed to be an escape from the stress back home. A Christmas spent by myself, snowed in somewhere in the middle of nowhere. What I got instead was an unexpected roommate and a chance at my dream job. It should have been easy to keep my distance and focus on the task at hand, but when it came to Luke, nothing was easy. His charm and sexy smile had me wanting to unwrap him as my gift under the tree. Which is why I couldn’t say no when he asked for my help with his sister’s last-minute wedding. The catch- I had to pretend to be his girlfriend AND a caterer.

So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive. Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years.

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

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!
