There are two types of relationships: fake and real.
Chuck and Kate’s used to be real, oh-so-real. But after she broke his heart four months ago, leaving him, it became all just pretense for the sake of their entwined families.
With parents who are best friends and business partners, it’s not easy for Chuck and Kate to announce they’ve split up. But with the holidays looming over them, they can no longer keep pretending.
They head home for Christmas, determined to tell the truth—and end up accidentally engaged instead. The more they try to pull apart, the more the Universe seems to push them back together, shortening the road to the altar. And when just-for-show kisses stir up forgotten feelings, things get even more complicated.
Now, with the midnight hour approaching, will Chuck and Kate’s relationship turn out to be fake or real?

Entertaining seasonal rom-com!!
Goodness, this quick story is a perfect seasonal distraction!!! It touches on all of those adorable quirks that I absolutely love about rom-coms. A false relationship that just spirals out of control as the lies start to build up and offers quite a bit of comedic moments. I could easily picture this being made into a movie.
The story is told from alternating perspectives. Chuck and Kate have been destined to be soulmates since birth. Their parents are besties who own and operate a very successful chocolate franchise. They do absolutely everything together, which was perfect up until the golden couple split up four months ago and neglected to tell anyone. Now home for the holidays, they intend to break the news to their loved ones, but never get the chance as one lie, multiple misconstrued moments and guilt over ruining everyone expectations get blown way out of hand.
The situations these two found themselves in was outrageously entertaining and hilarious! Their overbearing families truly added to the chaos as well. I read this in one sitting and just couldn't stop smiling throughout the entire book. Along with plenty of humor, there is a great lesson about relationships. How you continuously need to work at them and how open communication is the key to true happiness.
This in book one in the Christmas Romantic Comedy series. I definitely look forward to reading the sequel, A Christmas Caroline. It's a modern retelling of A Christmas Carol!
Humorous second chance
This book truly was a comedy of errors … they way everything kept going wrong was hilarious… all the misunderstandings and the way the forced proximity (and premarital course, LOL) forced these two to analyze the true causes of their breakup. I loved it…
all the tropes
friends to lovers to exes to fake daters with only one bed… everything about this book was delicious. From the small town setting to the family shenanigans and the chocolate factory… I liked that it was a comedy of errors where everything went wrong until it was perfectly right … the Christmas spirit was the cherry on top…
