The Mistletoe Springs Matchmaker
Helena Brightwater has one goal this win Mistletoe Springs’ over-the-top Glow-Up decorating competition and finally prove her artistic vision is more than glitter and chaos. What she doesn’t have? The engineering know-how to make her grand design sparkle. Or a boyfriend, but that doesn’t stop her from blurting to her smug ex that she’s happily taken.
Enter Finn Castellano, her best friend’s older brother. He’s grumpy, practical, and back in town only to endure a week of family holiday traditions. Helping Helena with her fairy-light extravaganza and pretending to be her doting boyfriend wasn’t on his carefully drafted plans.
But between tangled lights, nosy neighbors, and one very meddlesome town, their fake dating pact starts to feel a lot less fake. And as snow falls over Mistletoe Springs, Finn discovers that the one woman he swore was too chaotic for him might be the only one who feels like home.
A fake relationship.
A holiday competition.
One small-town Christmas that could rewrite everything.

Look, I've never written or published a book so she is doing more than me but this book was so repetitive that I thought audible was repeating chapters a few times. I literally had to stop and check to make sure I wasnt. This was a very boring story line sprinkled with "I am woman hear me roar", I can do all things by myself but I did in fact need this man to help bring my vision to life.. but don't worry, I am still a feminist because he tells me it was all me and my vision 4 million times even though you literally couldn't have done it without him. Sorry lol.

Helena and Finn
Helena is working on a project when her ex shows up to give her a hard time. So she makes up that she has a boyfriend from out of town that's going to come help her. Now she has to ask her best friends brother if he's willing to be in a fake relationship. He agrees so he can get away from his match maker mom and because he's had feelings for her since high school. As they work together, they'll get closer and both have feelings for the other. This is a cute Christmas read. I'm enjoying this series.

This was a pretty cute story. Loved the fake dating. And then it turned into more. I am a huge fan of holiday stories, so that’s why I picked this one. But it really needs to go through edits. The repetition made it really hard to get through.

I enjoyed the sweet romantic romance. Helena tells a little lie and now needs a boyfriend. Her best friend tells her to ask his brother, here comes Finn. It was fun how they worked so well together and see their relationship grow. Fun storyline and characters.
