Synopsis
Heat up the holidays with this sizzling new novella from New York Times best-selling authors Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward!
Riley Kennedy’s emails keep getting crossed with her colleague, Kennedy Riley.
The infuriating man forwards them along with his annoying commentary and unsolicited advice. At least she never has to see him in person since they work in different locations…until they come face to face at the office holiday party. As luck would have it, Kennedy turns out to be gorgeous…though still a jerk. Yet somehow he’s able to charm her out on the dance floor—and convince her to participate in his crazy scheme: He’ll go home with Riley for a Christmas party and pretend to be her boyfriend if Riley agrees to be his date to a wedding.
It sounds easy enough. But little by little, the act they’re putting on starts to feel like so much more than a Christmas pact—and Riley’s about to learn there’s more to Kennedy than she ever imagined.

REVIEW
⭐⭐⭐
| “The Christmas Pact” was short and sweet and just the thing to get me out of my reading slump. The premise of this short novella starts with what I think is a meet-cute. Except our girl may not think so. We have 2 coworkers that work in different offices who have the same reversed name. Kennedy Riley and Riley Kennedy. Kennedy accidentally gets one of Riley’s emails and that leads to looking him up on social media and eventually meeting at the company Christmas party. Kennedy propositions Riley to have him join her when she goes for the holidays but she has to join him for his brothers wedding. She agrees and that makes for an interesting few weeks. I must say, for being so short, I really did enjoy my time with Kennedy and Riley. They had chemistry off the bat and that made things fun and interesting. Their happy ending left me feeling satisfied. I definitely recommend this for a quick read maybe while traveling for the holidays. |
