Nothing says Merry Christmas like fake fiancés, family pressure, and accidentally falling for your ex's brother.

Nolan never met a spotlight he didn't like. As a major league baseball player with a filthy mouth, an ego the size of the North Pole, and zero interest in behaving, he's perfectly happy breezing into Christmas in Kringletown like the charming disaster everyone expects him to be.

Taran, on the other hand, has made an art form out of keeping the peace. She's polished, careful, and so committed to making everyone else happy that she's somehow agreed to a fake wedding with her ex just to keep her family's holiday from imploding.

There's only one problem: the ex in question is Nolan's brother, and Nolan sees right through her. He knows Taran deserves better than pretending her way through life.

And he'd really like "better" to be him.

Now Taran is juggling family expectations, holiday chaos, and a man who is far too cocky, far too funny, and far too determined to bulldoze every wall she's ever built.

But with Christmas closing in, secrets snowballing, and one very fake engagement threatening to blow up in spectacular fashion, this holiday season is about to get messy. And someone's sure to end up on the naughty list.

My review: 4 stars

Oh Lord. This was totally unhinged- Nolan!!!!! Nolan and Taran's story was chaotic and hilarious and just plain crazy. Author Meghan Quinn was at her best, over-the-top self with Christmas Staycation.

BLURB

They're just friends.

At least, that's what she thinks. Him? He has other plans.

Bennett Brinkman is San Francisco baseball's golden boy―focused, disciplined, and very bad at ignoring the one woman he shouldn't want. Falling for his sister's best friend was inevitable, even though she's always seen him as safe, familiar, and firmly off-limits.

Bower knows exactly why wanting Bennett is a terrible idea. She's fiercely loyal to her best friend and well aware that crossing this particular line could blow everything up. But when she moves into Bennett's apartment building, that "just friends" boundary begins to blur in the most tempting ways.

The banter comes fast.

The sparks come faster.

And pretending it's "no big deal" is getting ridiculous.

As feelings get messier and attraction turns undeniable, Bennett and Bower must decide if risking their family ties is worth chasing the love that's been in front of them all along.

My review: 5 stars!

This was an absolute hoot! Meghan Quinn is the queen of hilarious antics and banter, and she did not disappoint with Bennett and Bower's story. (And oh gosh- more of the Gladdy Daddys group texts!) I adore friends-to-lovers stories and Bennett's long-time crush on Bower was so charming and sweet and their journey felt effortless and real. The narration was done in duet style by Teddy Hamilton and Samantha Brentmoor along with a full cast (my favorite!!!!) including Emma Wilder, Connor Crais, J.F. Harding, Jason Clarke and Stella Hunter and was so so so good!
