It’s not easy for Spenser Roland to admit it, but he needs help. Christmas is just a few days away, and he can’t face the idea of showing up to his family’s gathering alone … again. They want to see him happily settled, but Spenser doesn’t date. He can’t risk it if he wants to protect his family. But one unexpected night with Evan Scott has him thinking that maybe he can strike a deal that will make his family happy and give him a little holiday cheer as well.
Evan never should have accepted a ride home from the sexy-as-hell corporate executive, but he’s proud that he stuck to his guns. He’s done with the one-night stand game. He wants something real. Something that lasts. But when Spenser returns, asking him to pose as his boyfriend over the weekend at a Christmas celebration, Evan is sure he’s lost his mind.
But he can’t say no.
Maybe it’s the shadow of loneliness in Spenser’s bright blue eyes that’s too much like his own. Or maybe it’s his heart-stopping smile.
Either way, Evan knows he’s on thin ice with Spenser, risking his own rules and heart, but Spenser is worth the risk.

Never should have kissed him...

I decided to read this book as a part of my holiday romance marathon this year because I saw a friend talking good about this book. So, even it's the new author to me, I decided to give it a try after the blurb curious me enough.
In my reading experience all these years, I found that there's two type of author. First, the one who trying so hard to 'tell' the reader what the MC feels by using to many unnecessary description and the one who let the reader 'feels' what the MC's feels by 'showing' it.
And I think this book fit the second one. Because instead telling the reader what the MC's feels, I can feel that the author showing us, the reader what the MC's feels. Even when both of the MC never once say the L word, but the reader can feels how strong the love that growing between the two MC's at the whole reading!
And that's what I felt when I read this book. The author successfully made this story which start as pretend boyfriend turn into insta-love which happen only in weekend counts feels not that instant or cheesy but instead it feels so perfect. And that's why I love both Spenser and Evan story so much!
Highly Recommended!
