AHHHH! We're back to Christmas Falls for Seasons Two!! Here's Beth Bolden's "Flake It Til You Make It."
["It's beginning to taste a lot like Christmas . . .
When Rocco Moretti gets the chance to buy a coffee shop in a small Illinois town, it feels like a miracle. And in true Christmas Falls tradition, Jolly Java is a holiday-flavored one.
He sets up shop and starts experimenting with recipes. The only problem? His changes go over like a piece of coal on Christmas morning. Instead of serving up cups of holiday cheer, he's getting a solid "bah humbug" vibe from the town.
He needs another miracle, stat.
Enter Deputy Mayor Taylor Hall.
Taylor wants the mayor's job when she retires, but his holiday dream is melting because he doesn't have a family to win over the voters. The mayor told him even a boyfriend would help.
The only problem? Taylor doesn't have one.
But Rocco needs the town's acceptance, and what better way than dating the deputy mayor? Faking it till they make it will be a means to an end. That's all.
But sharing the holiday season wins over more than the town's hearts. With each date, each mistletoe kiss, and every steamy night in front of the fire, it wins over theirs as well.
Come Christmas morning, there's really only one miracle Rocco wants under his tree.
For the love they've been faking to become real."]
This one was a little angst-y, but the pure adorableness of it all made it better. These two were a little stupid to think that their already-their feelings wouldn't grow and grow while they "fake dated." But the fluff and the steam and the town's support were perfect.
And the constant use of their in-case-feelings-happen safe-word. Goodness flipping gracious. So many feelings, sooooo many uses of their safe word. ;) But it brought them together, and without it, who knows where they'd be.
Plus all of the cookies and meddling friends and all of the references to a series I haven't read yet (but reeeeeaaaaally want to right now).
