My sister is the reason I’m in this mess, and on the hunt for a fake fiancée to show off to our grandmother…
“Jace has a girlfriend.”
She just had to say those words, didn’t she?
Oh, I hate her. But I think I love Bailey… the matchmaker I thought would introduce me to my fake fiancée.
She agreed to play the role herself, just for Christmas. And it’s perfect because she doesn’t want anything real either. Heck, she even told me she had a boyfriend.
I couldn’t have asked for a better deal. Except… that my feelings are all over the place. A playboy like me doesn’t know how to fall in love… And yet, here I am, admiring the way Bailey walks, the way her hair falls over her shoulders.
But this playboy is about to lose the love game… Does she really have another man in her life? And what about the little secret that would be born on Christmas?
This book was actually really cute. The first few chapters I wasn’t sure about it, the writing seemed juvenile and there were spelling errors. But I stuck with it and glad I did. The writing either got better or the story developed enough for me not to care. This book reminds me of a Christmas hallmark movie but with sex lol. And honestly the story was heartwarming to me. I’m glad it wasn’t just sex, sex, sex through the whole book. Obviously once the seal is broken they do it a lot but it wasn’t overboard and you could still focus on the story. I really appreciated that. The ending was happy and I even teared up a little reading about how Bailey gets a gift from Jaces family.

Jace is a CEO billionaire of a PR company. He was once engaged and his fiancé left him the day of the wedding. She told his friend not him and then he found out that she had been cheating on him. He was broken and had major trust issues when it came to women. He also has said that he would never allow himself fall in love as he doesn’t want to go through the pain again. Bailey lost everyone in her life. Her parents died when she was 10 and her grandparents raised her and they recently passed away as well. She was alone which makes the holidays lonely. She is also the owner of a small fledgling matchmaking business. She has always believed in true love and she was good at matching other people but when it comes to her own love life she has always failed. Jace needed to have fake fiancé to bring home for the holidays because his sister made his grandma think he was engaged. He went to Bailey’s business and from the moment he saw her he was mesmerized by her. He explained what he needed and this was strictly business. She sent him several files for him to review. He couldn’t stop thinking about Bailey. He found out about her business was about to go under and he made an offer she couldn’t refuse. She will be his fake fiancé and he will invest in her business. What happens when they start having feeling for each other?
Jace es el CEO multimillonario de una empresa de relaciones públicas. Una vez estuvo comprometido y su prometida lo dejó el día de la boda. Estaba destrozado y tenía grandes problemas de confianza cuando se trataba de mujeres. También ha dicho que nunca se permitiría enamorarse porque no quiere volver a pasar por el dolor.

Ella siempre ha creído en el amor verdadero y era buena para relacionarse con otras personas, pero cuando se trata de su propia vida amorosa siempre ha fallado. Jace necesitaba tener un prometido falso para llevar a casa durante las vacaciones porque su hermana le hizo pensar a su abuela que estaba comprometido. Fue al negocio de Bailey y desde el momento en que la vio quedó hipnotizado por ella. Le explicó lo que necesitaba y esto era estrictamente de negocios. Ella le envió varios archivos para que los revisara, pero él no podía dejar de pensar en Bailey. Se enteró de que su negocio estaba a punto de hundirse y le hizo una oferta que ella no pudo rechazar. Ella será su falsa prometida y él invertirá en su negocio. ¿Qué pasa cuando empiezan a sentir algo el uno por el otro?
Professional matchmaker meets her own match in this engaging seasonal romance! I enjoyed the way the story starts, with alone in the world Bailey stressing that she may lose her business without a cash investor; whilst, in another part of the city, billionaire Jace needs a fake fiancee to take home for Christmas when an online misunderstanding leads to his elderly grandmother thinking he’s engaged. Mutual friends introduce them and Bailey tries to find Jace a woman to suit his situation. I loved the way that, despite the predictability of Jace insisting on Bailey herself ‘playing’ the role – this doesn’t detract from the reader’s enjoyment of the story. The characters are really likeable, especially Jace’s family who welcome lonely Bailey with open arms. The ‘will they, won’t they’ trope within the tale is complicated by the fact that Jace has been badly stung before and is relationship-shy. Despite that, the chemistry between them soon escalates. I really liked the by-play between the two of the main characters and the way the story is told with dual p.o.v. A great read with a satisfying HEA.
I’m completely reading this series out of order but I figured since the stories don’t mesh together it wouldn’t make a difference. When I saw this author was continuing the Alpha Billionaire series after “Baby Surprise” I was elated. I wasn’t expecting it and come to find it’s not one, but two more Christmas themed stories. I had to read this one, it’s right up my alley with what I go for and this did not disappoint. This had everything the last few books were missing. There was heat, seduction, wining and dining and extravagance. Everything I look for in a billionaire book. Bailey and Jace were a wonderful couple, I loved them together and especially with how they meet. I loved the characters, they had depth and I got to know them in more detail compared to the last few books. So far out of the series I think this one takes the cake with the best one thus far, but we will see. The next one I will be reading is also out of order but I wanted to stick with the Christmas theme.
This is the 8th book in the Alpha Billionaire books. In this steamy love story we meet Jace a sexy self made wealthy bachelor whose sister tells a little lie to their grandmother and know he needs to bring home a girlfriend/fiancé for Christmas. Bailey has out her whole life into her matchmaking business and is struggling to make it successful. One day Jace comes to her for a fake fiancé which is against her beliefs but ends up agreeing due to his extremely generous deal. These two have an instant connection and try hard to keep it professional but fail horribly. I love how Jace becomes a caring and loving man with Bailey and she gets a family to enjoy the holidays with. This is a very beautiful love story!

A Fake Fiancée for Christmas is the first book I have ready by Ava Gray, and I just devoured it in one sitting. My favourite trope (fake relationship) handled flawlessly. And elements of instalove (though neither Jace and Bailey would ever admit to that - at least not at the beginning...) I will confess, I didn't love Jace at the very start - but not too far in, he becomes a swoon-worthy book boyfriend. And Bailey is so authentic that you are just rooting for her to find her HEA. Together their chemistry could very well set a Kindle on fire. And the supporting cast...! The book is part of Ms Gray's Alpha Billionaires series and I will definitely be looking up the others.

Very cute story. Somewhat predictable but that’s why I read these romance novels. Love the story how they fell in love even though neither was looking for it. Poor beautiful girl, hot, handsome billionaire. They both need each other for something so they forge a deal. It’s all business until it isn’t. The ONLY real part of the story I had a problem with is Jace not revealing what his former fiancé had done. Like it was a huge secret. My guess is it was probably something she could have googled since a billionaire being left at the alter would have been a big deal and news worthy. I love everything this author writes. Good story.
Jacey is a billionaire playboy in need of a fake fiance to take home to his grandmother. When he goes to Bailey's match making service, she takes on the job herself since she is in need of the money for her business. As they put their relationship into effect, Jacey realizes that he is developing feelings for Bailey. Will their fake relationship turn into the real deal, and will it lead them to a happily ever after? This story kept me glued to the pages!

I felt in love with this beautiful storyline, an opposite attract professionally and personally that take you off your feet and waltz you into an incredibly addictive and heartwarming story, at moments heartbreaking and yes I cried. You will live through the complete range of emotions; sadness, madness, lots of dramas and misunderstandings happened in it. The relationship between Bailey and Jace is one of the best in the genre. I highly recommended it.

This was a fun and delightful story to get lost in. Due to a mix up, Jace is in need of a fiancée so that he does not upset his family. When he reaches out to Bailey, who is a matchmaker, they come to an agreement that would help both of them.
Feeling become real and passion rises. This is a well written story with ups and downs. The love and caring Jace shows not only to Bailey, but when he is with his family made the a great story to dive into.

Personally, I prefer books more sweet and less steamy, so I skipped those bits. There were more than a few. I liked this book, though it was a bit predictable. That's why I gave it 4 stars. I guessed what was going to happen and then it did. There was a great HEA though and a few surprises there. Another great thing about this book is that it didn't have any spelling mistakes or wrong word usage or grammatical errors that I picked up on. Overall a solid read.
Jace needs a fake fiancé for Christmas with his family. Bailey runs a floundering match-making service based on love and soulmates. When the two meet, there is instant attraction but both deny it and make a business agreement to help each other. A very heart-warming, Cinderella-like story.

I thought this was such a sweet romance. Jace needs a fake fiancée and ends up hiring Bailey. As they spend time together, we can actually see them fall in love and it was just so romantic in many ways. I thought the characters were likable and adored that family was really emphasized in this story. I found this book entertaining and enjoyable to read.

Lovely, loney romantic at heart with a floundering match making business. A gorgeous billionaire who doesn't believe in love and needs a fake fiancee stat, throw in his terrific family. Sound familiar? Cute Hallmark type story, Jace and Bailey start off acting but it gets real quickly. Too much of this story is told instead of experienced but the epilogue shows the prerequisite HEA.
Fantastic Christmas story. Bailey's matchmaking business isn't doing very well. Jace goes to her office as he needs a fake fiance to take home for Christmas. He makes a deal with Bailey that it's only for 2 weeks and he pays up front. The characters grab your heart and I laughed and cried. Can these two characters find a way to make their 2 weeks forever? A wonderful story.

I am a sucker for a fake fiance romance; I am also a sucker for a spicy holiday book that reads like a Hallmark movie. This book has all that and more. I love the mc's backstories; it gives them depth and helps you understand where they are coming from and their hesitancies for love. The dialogue was on point; I just wish there was more of it. And the spice and HEA were so good. Ava Gray is becoming a one-click author for me.
Bailey was a “matchmaker” who’s business was taking a hit due to technology. Jace was a man who suddenly needed a fiancé so requested her services. She recommended several woman but he didn’t want them he wanted her and would make it worth her while. Bailey who is desperate to save her business takes the deal. Great chemistry and loved the story.
