About this audiobook

Who knew a fake holiday relationship could be so fun?


Kayla Summers has had enough of her mother’s insistence that she find a man and get married. At thirty-three, she’s a successful attorney and has a fantastic life. Knowing her mother will grill her constantly over the upcoming holidays about her single existence, she dreads the visits home.


Carter Manheim is a self-proclaimed bachelor, dead set on seducing every beautiful woman in Manhattan. And why not? His parents’ disastrous marriage and divorce proved that lifelong commitments just aren’t viable. As his mother’s health worsens, his only wish is to give her one last happy holiday, even if it entails bringing home a girlfriend.


When Kayla’s sexy neighbor proposes they take each other home for the holidays as fake partners, she’s floored. However, getting her mother off her back is her number one priority and she agrees to the arrangement. Now, if she can only keep her heart from becoming emotionally entangled with the player of the century, she’ll be just fine...


This audiobook is filled with fast-paced fake relationship shenanigans and steamy scenes designed to melt your headphones. The main character’s mother has late-stage cancer so please consider that before listening. Here’s hoping this funny, romantic story can give you a few hours of escape during the holidays! Enjoy!

This was a great contemporary romance. From neighbors to fake relationship to sex was nicely segued to where it didn't seem to fast. Kayla's mom was a typical you need to watch your weight and get a man mother. Carter's mom just wanted to make sure he was happy with her failing health. And when each MC is confronted about their insecurities they don't blow up, they actually reflect on what that person discusses with them. The subplot with Carter's mom really got me. Overall a great read/listen. And I loved when the VA read their character's speaking lines in the other character's POV chapters rather than Kai speaking Carter's lines and vice versa.

This is a good holiday romance where fake becomes so much more. It is part of the "Manhattan Holiday Loves" series but reads as a stand alone one. The story is about Kayla and Carter. I actually listened to their story and thought the narration was really good. The story develops nicely with touching and tender moments and a little heartbreak. There are also some hot and steamy bits.

This was an enjoyable love story, bordering on enemies to lovers, although they didn't hate each other, they certainly weren't friends at the beginning. Lawyer Kayla & actor/voice artist Carter are neighbours who need a significant other for the holiday season and make a pact to help each other out. I love that Carter was recording an audio book as part of the story. Neither of them was perfect and I enjoyed that the story covered the good and the bad in the relationship, and that they actually talked to each other about everything going on. We also get some super steamy moments from them. I enjoyed watching these two fall for each other and try to overcome their own fears so that they had a chance at a happy ending. The duel narration from Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross was perfect for the characters, each time i listen to these guys I enjoy the books more.
