One fake romance. One magical Christmas. One chance to fall in love.
Laura was all set for a quiet solo Christmas – just her, a bottle of wine, and flat-sitting for a stranger. But when the stranger’s parents mistake her for his mystery girlfriend, she’s swept off to the snowy Scottish Highlands with Callum and his whole family.
Between the cosy sleeper train, charming pubs and breathtaking views, this could be the no-strings-attached Christmas of Laura’s dreams.
But stranger Callum is hot, hilarious and their ‘fake’ chemistry is off the charts.
So is this just a Christmas fling? Or the start of something more?
Laura was such a brilliant main character. I adored her — she’s funny, relatable, and just trying to figure things out like the rest of us apart from the fact that she is a neurosurgeon. And Callum? Total dreamboat. I loved how grounded and kind he was, and the slow burn romance between them had me kicking my feet and grinning like an idiot. Every little moment built so perfectly to the big payoffs, and I couldn’t stop reading because I just had to see how it would all unfold.
Also, shoutout to the M&S Christmas range — the references were iconic and made me crave mince pies and festive snacks the whole time. And yes… the sex scenes were hot! Like, properly steamy but still emotional and in tune with the fake dating trope. Honestly, this book gave me everything I wanted — a swoony romance, a cozy setting, and all the festive feels. I’ll definitely be rereading it along with the rest of my Lindsey Kelk collection!
