Publisher's summary

A full-cast holiday romance extravaganza performed by duet by Jason Clarke and Samantha Brentmoor and with a full cast of your favorite narrators including Andi Arndt, Connor Crais, Vanessa Edwin, Andi Eloise, Teddy Hamilton, Erin Mallon, Noah B. Perez, Shakira Shute and Ryan West!

Wanted: one hot billionaire to pose as my Christmas boyfriend. Must be willing to make my cheating ex jealous when you kiss me under the mistletoe at all the holiday parties. Bonus points if you make him cry.

To my surprise my billionaire boss is more than up for the challenge of coming down the chimney as my holiday boyfriend. The sexy single dad desperately needs a plus one at a Christmas Eve wedding, where he’s the best man and I’m the maid of honor.

And since my ex is in the wedding party too, my boss and I team up as a pair of insta-lovebirds for the holiday season, including during the annual week-long Christmas competition leading up to the snowy destination wedding.

But soon staying up late to string the best popcorn balls ever turns into a scorching night in his arms where the chestnuts aren’t the only thing roasting on the open fire.

Can all these winter wonderland nights seeking revenge turn into the real thing when we return to the office? Or are we destined to go the way of a Christmas tree on New Year’s?

Holidate

This was a great book and the audible was icing on the cake, anything with Jason Clark has to be good! He could read the phonebook and it be sexy!!

Holiday Romance!

Super cute holiday romance.

At first I thought Wilder’s voice and name sounded like an elderly gent from a western. However, overall good storyline and performances. Really enjoyed.

fantastic Christmas listen!

Such a cute and steamy Christmas read! Wilder and Fable are already boss and employee and find themselves in quite the fake dating situation. Wilder is quite the spicy billionaire, but also super sweet and caring. I love how he cares for Fable and spoils her in very cute ways. I adore their one bed at their chalet with all the holiday fun! Fable is a very cute jewelry designer and fun leading lady. I really enjoyed their story, and it was a great Christmas read!!

Good

Love how Lauren Blakely blended holiday vibes with a pining billionaire and not make it cliche! The fake dating was more about sticking it to her horrible ex, because Wilder pined for the Fable. His daughter’s relationship with Fable and even with Wilder was good! The romance was sexy with romantic moments. Plus the holiday and wedding vibes were on point!

5 STARS! A festive, fun holiday romance!

Lauren Blakely captured all the magic of the season—with a steamy twist—in My Favorite Holidate, a swoon-worthy winter holiday romance. I listened to the audiobook, a full cast production narrated in duet by Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke. Their natural chemistry ratcheted up the electricity between these characters and both Samantha and Jason turned in fantastic performances. Joined by Andi Arndt, Connor Crais, Vanessa Edwin, Andi Eloise, Teddy Hamilton, Erin Mallon, Noah B. Perez, Shakira Shute and Ryan West, this was a thoroughly entertaining and engaging holiday production.

This fake-dating, workplace romance between Wilder, a billionaire single dad, and his employee, Fable, is full of electric chemistry, playful banter, and a sexy build-up that’s as heartfelt as it is steamy. Blakely pulls out her full repertoire to skillfully weave the holiday and fake-dating themes into this story, creating a cozy, festive backdrop that makes this romance feel even more enchanting. A captivating mix of warmth, humor, and undeniable attraction, this holiday love story is a true seasonal treat! Five smooches from me for My Favorite Holidate by Lauren Blakely!

Tropes:
🎁Billionaire Boss
🎄Office Romance
🎁Fake Dating
🎄Single Dad
🎁One Bed
🎄Holiday Rom-Com

If you like any of those tropes then this book is for you.
Christmas is in the air, that is for sure. The setting and all the games from a week-long Christmas competition are entertaining and will make you want to embrace this holiday season.

Fable is a fun and likeable character who finds herself in a bit of a pickle. She doesn’t want to let her sister down, so she needs a date for her sister's Christmas wedding. Wilder needs to NOT be set up by his aunt throughout the holiday season, so they decide to start fake dating.

While putting on a show for everyone, they fall for each other. The romantic setting to the feelings that have been riding just below the surface for a while.

The narration of a full cast makes the Christmas magic come to life.
Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke perform this audio in duet style, my favourite. 😉
The supporting cast just added to the Christmas spirit.
