Think Hallmark Movie with an increased spice rating. This book is about two best friends who reunite around the holidays after years apart. Noel lost her family when she was a teenager and was taken in by Nick’s family. When Nick ends his army career he returns home, only for his long time girlfriend to dump him. So Nick and Noel have an impromptu plan: fake date each other so their exes will be jealous. It's fake-dating, friends to lovers, and Christmas romance. The story was enjoyable and I'll be reading the next one.
