Faking Christmas by Kerry Winfrey
3.0
Read Completed 11/29/23 |
I've loved Kerry Winfrey's books in the past and don't read many (or really any) Christmas romances, so I was excited for this one! Ultimately, it ended up being way too cheesy for me. The characters were way too over-the-top, especially the boss, and it was trying a little too hard when it didn't have to. Sadly, this just didn't click for me. While I liked the concept and the base of it all, everything was just too overdone.
I wanted to like Laurel but I actually really didn't. She kept hating on Max for almost literally no reason. We find out the reason much later and I get why she hated him, but she continued to try to hate him after it was a non-issue. There was just too much enemies, not enough lovers. I don't need or want spice, but I wanted more feelings, tingles, exciting moments. She just spent far too long being angry and fighting the feels and it got irritating.
