Summary

Heat up the holidays with this sizzling new novella from New York Times best-selling authors Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward!  

Riley Kennedy’s emails keep getting crossed with her colleague, Kennedy Riley.  

The infuriating man forwards them along with his annoying commentary and unsolicited advice. At least she never has to see him in person since they work in different locations…until they come face to face at the office holiday party. As luck would have it, Kennedy turns out to be gorgeous…though still a jerk. Yet somehow he’s able to charm her out on the dance floor - and convince her to participate in his crazy scheme: He’ll go home with Riley for a Christmas party and pretend to be her boyfriend if Riley agrees to be his date to a wedding.   

It sounds easy enough. But little by little, the act they’re putting on starts to feel like so much more than a Christmas pact - and Riley’s about to learn there’s more to Kennedy than she ever imagined.

Wonderful

This was wonderful, I swallowed it in one sitting.

It made me laugh, made me cringe, made me hold my breath, made me swoon. A perfect Christmas tale.

Go read it now, you won't regret it.

Great read

Great short story to listen to although I would of loved for the storyline to go on long. I just Love listening to sabastian York and Andi Arendt narrated together. Really loved the fact it linked into stuck-up suit slightly.

Absolute tosh

I don't know why I downloaded this... oh yes I do it was free. phew that's a relief.
I absolutely hate women American narrators, they are whiningly nasal and their voices grate. The male narrator wasn't too bad, the story was so ridiculous I am amazed that it got as far as being published.
If you like silly mildly prono chick lit then this is for you....and it's free.

basically soft porn

Terrible story, terrible narration. Garbage like this creates unrealistic and unhealthy expectations for human relationships, and normalises manipulative and predatory male behaviour. Female protagonist is weak and feeble.

Story of a narcissistic man

You actively root for Riley to get with anyone else other than this gross, walking ego, ape man character. He stalks her house, drunkenly abuses her, invades her privacy many times. Awful awful 'love story'.

Creepy

I'm not sure how this story can be considered romantic? The guy's a creepy stalker who constantly mansplained the woman's feelings to herself. I enjoy a good rom com, but this isn't it.
