The Holiday Fakers(Hideaway Harbor,#2)

 

 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

 Thank you to the author,Evie Alexander for  E ARC, in exchange for an honest review. 

 

 

One fake boyfriend. One bed. One very complicated Christmas. 

Piper
I promised my mom I’d bring a boyfriend home for the holidays. 

I did not mean Brody King—Hollywood heartthrob, tabloid trainwreck, and the reason I have a folder of fantasy fan art I’ll take to the grave. 

He’s also my brother’s best friend and the man who ghosted our small town (and me) twelve years ago.
Now we’re sharing one bed, faking a relationship, and pretending he’s changed. 

The problem? I’m starting to believe it. 

But Brody doesn’t do forever. 

And I don’t do heartbreak twice.

 
Brody 

 
The plan was simple: come home, look reformed, and don’t fall for Piper Locke. Again.
Instead, I’m stuck in a snow-globe town with the girl I never stopped wanting. 

Piper’s smart, hilarious, way too sexy—and still completely off-limits.
She thinks I’ll leave like last time. 

And she’s right. My next job’s a world away from Hideaway Harbor.
But this fake relationship feels dangerously real, and Piper isn’t just a PR fix. 

She’s the reason I want to stay.

Heartwarming. 

I loved this book! The story and the characters captured my heart. I adored Piper’s family, especially her parents, and how they wanted to take care of everyone. They remind me so much of my parents. Piper’s mom was hilarious, and I laughed out loud. I can only imagine how Piper’s household was when she was younger. Piper’s parents are the types of people that you can’t help but love. There is part of me that wants a book just about them. 

I love the setting. Hideaway Harbor sounds like a perfect place to escape to. What I love about Hideaway Harbor is how you feel a connection to almost all the characters. I’m excited that there are more books in the series, because there are a few characters I want to learn more about. I adored Piper and Brody from the start, and I liked the way Alexander developed their relationship; it felt realistic. There was a connection between the two of them from the start, I just hoped that they would see that. The scenes between the two of them were my favorites. 

I liked the pacing of the story, and I found it hard to find a stopping point. There were a few times when I stayed up late, just to see what happened with Brody and Piper next. The Holiday Fakers was my first book by Evie Alexander, and I cannot wait to check out her others. One of my favorites was the interactions between the characters; there were so many bittersweet moments that I couldn’t help but smile. I adore the cover most of all; it looks so magical, just like the story was. Highly recommended to all romance fans
