The Fake Holidate
“What if I pretend to be your boyfriend?”
Ellie
Lying to your mother about bringing home a date for Christmas is definitely not one of the smartest moves I’ve made in a while. Twinkling lights, Christmas carols, hot chocolate, it all sounds nice right? Sure, but not when I have to face my very overbearing mother and admit I lied. So when I run into my brothers best friend and childhood crush and he offers to be my fake boyfriend, I figure, what’s the worst that could happen?
Benji
I would do anything for those closest to me. Even though Ellie and I haven’t spoken in years, she is still one of the people I care most about. So when I find her drowning her sorrows, I can’t help it, I try to fix her problem.
A few rules…
A strand of Christmas lights…
One nosy family…
Who’s to say this ruse isn’t exactly what Ellie and Benji need?
The Fake Holidate is Lillie Jean Andrews debut contemporary romance novel. Expect sizzling heat, cozy holiday vibes and a happy ending guaranteed to make you feel warm inside in this standalone holiday novel!

5⭐️ I read this in one sitting, cozied up on the couch, with 2 dogs by my side. I couldn’t put it down. Were they going to end up together or not? I had to know after those spicy 🌶️ scenes! I appreciate Andrews ability to incorporate outside characters that don’t just move the plot along, but they feel very real. Complicated things happen to them, but it’s a comfort to know the story’s true roots: strained but still happy families.
