A Best New Holiday Romance by PopSugar, BuzzFeed, Refinery29, and more!

The author of the “swoon-worthy debut” (Harper’s Bazaar) The Charm Offensive returns with a festive romantic comedy about a woman who fakes an engagement with her landlord…only to fall for his sister.

One year ago, recent Portland transplant Ellie Oliver had her dream job in animation and a Christmas Eve meet-cute with a woman at a bookstore that led her to fall in love over the course of a single night. But after a betrayal the next morning and the loss of her job soon after, she finds herself adrift, alone, and desperate for money.

Finding work at a local coffee shop, she’s just getting through the days—until Andrew, the shop’s landlord, proposes a shocking, drunken plan: a marriage of convenience that will give him his recent inheritance and alleviate Ellie’s financial woes and isolation. They make a plan to spend the holidays together at his family cabin to keep up the ruse. But when Andrew introduces his new fiancée to his sister, Ellie is shocked to discover it’s Jack—the mysterious woman she fell for over the course of one magical Christmas Eve the year before. Now, Ellie must choose between the safety of a fake relationship and the risk of something real.

Perfect for fans of Written in the Stars and One Day in December, Kiss Her Once for Me is the queer holiday rom-com that you’ll want to cozy up with next to the fire.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Naudus leans into the novel’s over-the-top silliness, voicing Ellie with a mixture of pent-up hurt and bubbly optimism. Naudus makes the banter between Ellie and Jack sparkle, gives both of Jack’s grandmas unforgettable no-nonsense voices, and delivers the emotional scenes with just enough feeling to make them seem real."—AudioFile Magazine

The winter love story I needed

Everything you hope for in a book to make you remember what falling in love feels like.

Loved so much about this book

… the characters and their complexities, the way it was read
- I was riveted. So very good.

Snow magic

This is the perfect Christmas book. It takes flawed people, not saints, and shows what love can be. It will make you laugh & cry, and remember there is snow magic.

Loved it

Can you fall in love in a heart bit? I don’t know but I loved reading about it.
And narration was superb

The rom com I didn’t know I needed

Honesty game. I was worried going into this. I really loved the charm offensive so much that I was worried about being disappointed. Without giving anything away this is a new staple in my holiday reading. Alison Cochrun thank you for your service🥲😘 lol.

Incredible!

I am not usually one for romance novels, let alone Christmas themed ones, but this is far more than that! It's a story of learning to love and accept yourself; I laughed and cried and felt seen. And the taylor swift references! so good pls read

Best book I’ve ever listened too

This was one of the best books I’ve ever listened too. It left me wanting more. I didn’t want it to end. The love story between Jack and El is beautiful. This book is one of my favorites.

masterfully beautiful

romance books are not my typical book that I listen to or read often. occasionally, I'll cave and read/listen to one. this one was so full of emotion I found myself feeling all of ot from start to finish. I cried, I laughed, I got angry. all of it through the entire book. I loved it.

Surprisingly good!

So many sapphic books that I read are so cheesy and cliche but this was surprisingly different and charming. Loved it and will read again!

Sweet story

Liked the story and unpredictable nature. Also appreciated the mental health and gay pieces of the story.
