Publisher Description
Jane Osborne is ready for love. That's why she had signed up with the matchmaking service to begin with. She hadn't been Blake's true love, and that was fine.
But being publicly and unceremoniously dumped by him?
Naughty list.
Being invited to the Christmas Eve wedding of him and the woman he dumped her for?
Coal-worthy.
She can't not go, however. No, she needs to show Blake Donovan that she is just fine, thank you very much. He won't ruin her favorite holiday. All she needs is the perfect date.
Craigslist.
Fake-boyfriend-for-hire Ian Brooks ends up being a delightful surprise--and a mysterious stranger she's definitely met before. Soon he's as tangled up in her life as Christmas lights.
Could he be the holiday love she's dreamed of?
**This novella was originally published as "Unmatchable" in Brenda Novak’s ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS anthology.**
Customer Reviews
Tis the season
What's not to love? It's the most magical time of the year and also happens to be my most favourite holiday. I love any story that is centred on Christmas; it’s a time for family and friends to get together.
I have to say that this story made me a little sad. We really got an insight into the thoughts and feelings of Jane Osborne (sometimes a little too much) and there were times that my heart went out to her. Her thoughts show the vulnerability that she hides from the world.
Expecting a proposal, Jane is shocked,when instead the man she has been dating dumps her. Fast forward several months and he has the audacity to invite her to his Christmas Eve wedding.
Determined not to give him satisfaction, she decides to hire a date, a fake boyfriend. Ian Brooks, although someone she would never consider dating, is the man she decides on, all he needs is a make over. There is more to Ian than meets the eye and through Ian, Jane learns to believe in the magic of Christmas.
This is a fun, quick steamy story that will certainly get you in the mood for the holiday season.
