The author of the "swoon-worthy debut" (Harper's Bazaar) The Charm Offensive returns with a festive romantic comedy about a woman who fakes an engagement with her landlord...only to fall for his sister. One year ago, recent Portland transplant Ellie Oliver had her dream job in animation and a Christmas Eve meet-cute with a woman at a bookstore that led her to fall in love over the course of a single night. But after a betrayal the next morning and the loss of her job soon after, she finds herself adrift, alone, and desperate for money. Finding work at a local coffee shop, she's just getting through the days--until Andrew, the shop's landlord, proposes a shocking, drunken plan: a marriage of convenience that will give him his recent inheritance and alleviate Ellie's financial woes and isolation. They make a plan to spend the holidays together at his family cabin to keep up the ruse. But when Andrew introduces his new fiancée to his sister, Ellie is shocked to discover it's Jack--the mysterious woman she fell for over the course of one magical Christmas Eve the year before. Now, Ellie must choose between the safety of a fake relationship and the risk of something real. Perfect for fans of Written in the Stars and One Day in December, Kiss Her Once for Me is the queer holiday rom-com that you'll want to cozy up with next to the fire.… (más)
I thought this was a super cute read. I also really loved the writing style in this read!! I thought it was such a fun read but also had quick and witty written!! It was a such a prefect read. I love how it was twist on both fake dating but also second chance romance. I also loved how this book had a found family element and it was great holiday/ winter read!! ( )

A woman with a real talent for art/web comics, but who has no belief in her abilities, is down on her luck and working at a coffee shop when the owner of the building asks her to fake-marry him for 200K. She accepts, agrees to spend the holidays with his family in their swanky mansion/cabin, only to discover once they get there that his sister is the woman she had a one-night-stand with (and with whom she had immediately fallen for and gotten her heart smashed by and so hasn’t seen since that night) *last* Christmas.
A bit of a comedy of errors in a sweet and lovely way. Definitely my favorite of the holiday romances I read this year. ( )
This romance reads like a Hallmark Christmas movie. Ellie and Jack are a fun couple to cheer on and celebrate, although I had a soft spot for Andrew and Dylan, too. Fun reading and perfect for a holiday-themed romance. ( )
A cute story, thought it lacks a little believablity. The fact that anyone, let alone a Demisexual, fell that hard in 24 hrs is a bit much for me...past that though, I like it. You could really sense the level of touched starved yearning involved from Ellie. I loved the grandmas and I want to know where I can get my own. Also found Ari's story interesting, I'd love to read more about that poly set up. ( )

This book is for my parents,
who love me when I fall as much as they love me when I fly.
And for the grandmas, obviously.

It's hard to explain to anyone who grew up with stability and safety and guaranteed love what it's like to both hate your parents and desperately want their love at the same time.

I pull Jack into my arms on the Burnside Bridge, swaying back and forth, slow dancing with her in a snow globe somehow big enough for all of us.
