An easy, warm one, well executed with fleshed out enough characters. Sweet read!

So, I already knew who Jonah and Sacha were from a POV of Alexei in the Rebel Kings MC series, so I was looking forward to reading their story, and it did not disappoint at all!

Sacha is very emotionally closed off, much like his cousin Alexei, but he seems warmer regardless. I liked watching him realise he had feelings, and Jonah was such a sweetheart! Loved them together.

I seriously need a reunion of all the guys across Garrett Leigh's books

Sacha was by far the most brooding, mysterious MMC I've read in a while. For quite a long time I thought he was going to be a secret assassin or spy or something, but turns out he's just that brooding. I really loved how Sacha immediately supported Jonah and agreed to be a fake boyfriend for the evening and being so perceptive to Jonah's feelings. But of course, since he's so brooding he almost misses his chance of a HEA with Jonah because he can't accept his feelings for Jonah. I loved that Jonah stood up for himself, knew is worth and refused to be stringed (strung?) along. Well done Jonah!

Five heartwarming stars for Jonah and Sacha in this fake relationship romance. What started as fake, turned into friends with benefits, and eventually like all good romance books, the precious new relationship tanked and then resumed again. I loved Sacha's thoughts the most as he tried to figure out his life. A sweet holiday story!

In caccia di una novella natalizia ambientata in ufficio e con falsi fidanzati, mi sono lanciata su questa storia: è stata una lettura appassionante, ricca di momenti moooolto hot e tanta dolcezza a vari livelli.
La cosa che più di tutto mi ha affascinato, però, è stata la caratterizzazione di Sacha, il bel russo ermetico, che parla per enigmi e ragionamenti complicati, che pare burbero e scostante ma nasconde un animo buono.
Anche Jonah non è da meno: pur essendo ricchissimo di suo, è una persona dolce e premurosa, un ‘angelo in carne e ossa’ che è amato da tutti… e come non farlo? Leggere per credere!
Se cercate un bel libro, che vi tenga compagnia in queste fredde notti invernali, questa è una traduzione ben fatta di una storia davvero piacevole e ve la consiglio.

This was the Christmas story I was wanting. Loved these characters, and their story. Definite re-read in future. ♥

Glorious.
I adore Garrett's Christmas stories. They're as sweet as her stories ever get but still with that edge that let's you know you're reading at Garrett Leigh book. This is no exception.
Two men, who don't do relationships, get stuck in a lift. One follows the other out and never stops. What starts as fake boyfriends and a quick fuck becomes so much more but not without denial and fighting it on both sides.

Highly recommended.

Office romance, forced proximity, fake boyfriends...did Garrett Leigh write this just for me? ‘Cause she rolled all my romance wants into one sexy, sweet, holiday-themed package and presented it like a gift. There’s a little less angst and a little more light than what you might find a typical Leigh book, and the MC’s aren’t quite so damaged, but this did nothing to lessen my enjoyment of watching two confirmed bachelors fighting against falling in love and failing badly. Or goodly, rather, because their failure is our delight.

Another hit from one of my faves.
