Publisher's Summary
It's nearly Christmas, Julia Devine's favourite time of the year. She's just programmed a wonderful lead into the holidays at Sunny Street Cinema, which leaves her plenty of time to worry about going home to Cumbria for Christmas. Her mum and stepdad are fine, but the thought of spending another holiday with her awful stepsister Becca is enough to make a Scrooge out of anyone.
When Becca calls to let her know about the dreamy pilot she's bringing to Christmas lunch, Julia finally snaps and does something very silly. She tells Becca she's dating heartthrob movie star Hugo Turner.
Of course, Julia isn't dating Hugo Turner - she isn't dating anyone - but Becca will never let her live it down if she discovers Julia's lie. Enter Sam Hunter, ordinary guy on the street with a startling resemblance to a movie star. Without any holiday plans of his own, he's the perfect stand-in for the real Hugo. Sam has his own reasons for agreeing to be Julia's sham movie-star boyfriend. It's just for one weekend, right? But will this Christmas charade flourish into real Christmas magic?

Predictable but lovely Christmas novella
Like watching a really great romantic Christmas movie. It had me hooked so much so that I didn’t want the story to end. The development of the main characters’ relationship was really lovely, even if you are aware of the plot twist from the very beginning.
Performance was great too.

Predictable but lovely Christmas romance
Becca really is like Veruca Salt! A lovely romance set at Christmas, the most miraculous time of year.

Couldn't stop listening
Ridiculously cheesy and predictable but I was hooked straight away. Just what I needed to get into the Christmas spirit

Captivating Story
Lovely story had me hanging on till the very end to see the outcome. I was sorry for it to come to an end. Light listening. Highly recommend it.

Christmas Treat
Short, sweet and predictable, but that’s why we indulge in these Christmas tales. This one made garlic bread a reason for falling in love. Lol

Short & Christmasy Sweet
A wonderfully narrated cute Christmas romance. Good pace with no boring bits. Both main characters really likeable.
Highly recommend!

Comfortable romp
Nice story, nice characters. Well read.
Some of the usual melodrama, but resolved well rather.

Brilliant and funny
I really enjoyed this story. It was quirky and funny and absolutely lovely. It was beautifully written and narrated. I think it would make a really entertaining film!

Lovely
Like wrapping yourself in a happy Christmas blanket. Predictable, but a truly warm story to get you in the mood for Christmas.

wonderful holiday read
I'm really loving Kate Forster's books right now. Short and sweet stories that pack a punch and have all the feels. This is my favourite so far. I loved the relationship build up between Julia and Sam. They had a lovely banter sprinkled with humour throughout. There's also some family dynamics side plots with the mother and step sister that add interest to the overall story and add extra laughs to the mix. Definitely a winner for me.
