Book Review: Just Home for the Holidays

Title: Just Home for the Holidays

Author: Deborah Cooke

Date: 2020

Quote: "Hunter replaced the words in Christmas songs with choices that seemed more appropriate to him."

Thinking strictly in terms of copyrighted commercial songs whose only reason for existing was to displace traditional carols, Hunter's "It's the most horrible time of the year" might be justified. Of course, he has a dark and dreadful secret reason for hating Christmas, which Chloe will make him tell her...

The comedy in this steamy romance consists of Chloe, who is a level above Hunter in the small gym business where they work, asking Hunter to be her fake boyfriend over the holidays. She lays down thirteen rules for the fake romance. Hunter immediately sets out to break all of them. 

If you think the most happy and romantic ending to any story is for a woman to marry a man who, if he listens to what she says at all, does so in order not to do what she's told him she wants, then this romance is for you. Mercy. I hope not.
