Cori Stratton’s a small-town girl. She loves making candles, and her little gift shop is her pride and joy. But when the shop’s building goes up for sale, she might lose her home and everything that makes her happy. The worst timing of all? Her landlord’s daughter Elizabeth Brennan—popular, smart, and oblivious to Cori’s existence in high school—has breezed back into town.

Life has not gone according to plan for Elizabeth. Laid off from her job in the city, she’s forced back home to help her mom run the family’s B&B during a week-long wedding celebration…for Liz’s ex. Not wanting the groom to know how in shambles her life is, she grabs the nearest person—Cori—and tells him how happy they are together.

Liz’s father owning Cori’s building may be the trump card she needs to keep Cori playing along. Can they strike a deal to save Cori’s store and help Liz survive the wedding? Just for the week. There’s no way this fake relationship will turn into the real deal.

I normally really enjoy Georgia Beers books. This one however fell a little flat to me. Outside of the one sex scene it felt boarder line like a YA novel. Which had I realized that going in I may have enjoyed it more.
Lula Larkin isn’t my favorite narrator personally but I think she did a good job.

A very cute beginning but rather heavy drama for a Christmas romcom. The general plot was good though and Georgia Beers never disappoints, so it’s still an enjoyable listen and Luna Larkin is awesome.
