Five days before Christmas, Kate Thompson boards a flight from LAX on her way to New York for her sister’s Christmas Eve engagement party. The only problem she’s minus a date and now a prime target for her mother and sister’s meddling ways. Not only will she be alone for all the couple activities her sister has planned, but Kate’s ex husband and his pregnant wife will be there. How could this nightmare ever be merry and bright? Alex Messina was going to be alone for Christmas. Then Kate takes the last empty seat next to him. On the five-hour flight, her talk of an old-fashioned family Christmas, baking cookies, decorating, and shopping has him yearning for the kind of holiday celebrations from his childhood. She needs a fake date, and he wants a family Christmas. What could go wrong?
I thought Kate was very brave, going home to her sister’s engagement events when she was marrying her cheating ex husband’s baby brother. Plus her sister was expecting her to make friends with the woman who stole her husband and is now pregnant. Unbelievable! No wonder she snapped at the chance to make a handsome stranger her fake date.
