We are in true festive reading today with Camilla Isley's Fool me Twice at Christmas, which was published on September 25th by Pink Bloom Press. I also have an International giveaway for you to win an e-copy of A Christmas Caroline. Details on how to enter are at the foot of this post.
There are two types of relationships: fake and real.
Chuck and Kate’s used to be real, oh-so-real. But after she
broke his heart four months ago, leaving him, it became all just pretense for
the sake of their entwined families.
With parents who are best friends and business partners,
it’s not easy for Chuck and Kate to announce they’ve split up. But with the
holidays looming over them, they can no longer keep pretending.
They head home for Christmas, determined to tell the truth—and
end up accidentally engaged instead. The more they try to pull apart, the more
the Universe seems to push them back together, shortening the road to the
altar. And when just-for-show kisses stir up forgotten feelings, things get
even more complicated.
Now, with the midnight hour approaching, will Chuck and
Kate’s relationship turn out to be fake or real?
My Thoughts
This is certainly a sparkling festive read which carries you through with its humour and Christmas touches. The relationship between Chuck and Kate is complicated, to say the least, and they have known each other since childhood. Now they are faking their relationship to keep their parents happy and find to their horror that it becomes harder and harder to tell them the truth. Of course, events keep getting more complicated and soon, it seems impossible to know how to confess.
The story is told from both Chuck and Kate's perspectives in alternating chapters. This adds to the humour for me and there are some genuine laugh out loud moments. Both Chuck and Kate are likeable characters who you are rooting for throughout. With clever pacing and plotting, this is a great festive read with plenty to make you smile.
In short: A festive fun read
