Book information

Author Information

Taglines:

One fake boyfriend. One bed. One very complicated Christmas.

‘Tis the season to fake date your brother’s best friend.

Short blurb:

One fake boyfriend. One bed. One very complicated Christmas …

I promised my mom I’d bring a boyfriend home for the holidays.

Instead, I’m fake-dating Brody King—Hollywood heartthrob, tabloid trainwreck, and the reason I have a folder of fantasy fan art I’ll never admit exists.

He’s also my brother’s best friend, the guy who ghosted me twelve years ago … and now we’re sharing a bed.

This was supposed to be fake.

So why does it feel dangerously real?

The Holiday Fakers is a laugh-out-loud, one-bed, fake-dating romcom with festive flair and serious steam. If you love small-town chaos, slow-burn tension, and a guaranteed happily ever after, this book is your perfect cozy escape.

The Holiday Fakers is part of the Christmas at Hideaway Harbor series of six spicy romantic comedies. The books are interconnected standalones and can be read in any order.

Long blurb:

One fake boyfriend. One bed. One very complicated Christmas …

Piper

I promised my mom I’d bring a boyfriend home for the holidays.

I did not mean Brody King—Hollywood heartthrob, tabloid trainwreck, and the reason I have a folder of fantasy fan art I’ll take to the grave. 

He’s also my brother’s best friend and the man who ghosted our small town (and me) twelve years ago.

Now we’re sharing one bed, faking a relationship, and pretending he’s changed.

The problem? I’m starting to believe it.

But Brody doesn’t do forever.

And I don’t do heartbreak twice.

Brody

The plan was simple: come home, look reformed, and don’t fall for Piper Locke. Again.

Instead, I’m stuck in a snow-globe town with the girl I never stopped wanting.

Piper’s smart, hilarious, way too sexy—and still completely off-limits.

She thinks I’ll leave like last time.

And she’s right. My next job’s a world away from Hideaway Harbor.

But this fake relationship feels dangerously real, and Piper isn’t just a PR fix.

She’s the reason I want to stay.

Too bad I’m the last person who deserves her… and the one person who can’t seem to walk away.

The Holiday Fakers is a laugh-out-loud, one-bed, fake-dating romcom with festive flair and serious steam. If you love small-town chaos, slow-burn tension, and a guaranteed happily ever after, this book is your perfect cozy escape.

The Holiday Fakers is part of the Christmas at Hideaway Harbor series of six spicy romantic comedies. The books are interconnected standalones and can be read in any order.

Reviews:

We appreciate each and every review.

Reviews are expected on Amazon. We also welcome and appreciate you copy and pasting your reviews to your socials/blog any other platform not listed below! 

• The Holiday Fakers on Amazon
• The Holiday Fakers on Goodreads
• The Holiday Fakers on BookBub
• The Holiday Fakers on Storygraph

👉 KU readers: Once The Holiday Fakers is live, if you borrow and simply open it in Kindle Unlimited, Amazon may mark your review as a “Verified Purchase.” You don’t need to reread the book—just opening it once is enough. Totally optional, but it can give your review a little extra boost. Either way, I’m so grateful for your review and your support! 💌

A quick message about your review:

Firstly, please do not use AI to write your review. If you are in any doubt about your review being flagged as having used AI, please run it through AI recognition software such as https://gptzero.me/ before you post it to ensure that no AI content can be detected.

Secondly, Amazon are removing, not accepting reviews, or blocking readers posting reviews which contain the following words:

ARC / In exchange / Free copy / Bookfunnel, Netgalley, the publisher, Emlin Press, or any alternative platform / An honest review in return / Unpaid review / Paid review / Payment

To try and get around this issue, please can you substitute with phrases like:

I had the chance to read this story early, and I…
I was grateful for the opportunity to enjoy this book before pub day, and I…
I was fortunate enough to dive into this book ahead of time, and I…
This story landed in my hands early, and it was…
I had an advanced peek at this novel, and it’s…
I got an early glimpse of this book and…
I had the pleasure of reading this one ahead of time, and I…

We have no idea if these suggestions will get around this problem, and if you have any other ideas then we would love to hear them!

Thirdly, something we’ve learned is that reviews get more attention from the algorithms that put books in front of people if they are more than just one or two lines, and are unique content.

Examples of not so algorithm-friendly reviews.

“I loved this book! Can’t wait to read more from this author. It’s five stars from me!” 👎

“ [insert full blurb – this is not classed as original content] I loved it when [insert multiple spoilers]. Five stars!” 👎

Great reviews will have the following:

• Five or more lines of text (the more lines the better)
• Unique content (one or two quotes from the book are still good though)
• Does not include the blurb for the book (we understand some people will obviously copy for their blogs and social posts. However, if you can remove the blurb when adding it to your review on the various platforms, that would be great! The algorithms also identify reviews containing mostly the blurb as not original content and they risk getting moved further down or even hidden in some search results).
• Explaining why you loved the book, rather than just telling the story
• No spoilers
• Images are an added bonus
• Consistent ratings. If you rate it 5 stars on Amazon, please give it the same rating on Goodreads.

If you want to use any of the graphics we’ve created and any of the hooks and blurbs, then don’t forget you can find them all on this page!

Remember, if you have any issues with completing your reviews or accessing your ARC, just let us know!

Ps – We understand that sometimes books aren’t what you expect them to be. If The Holiday Fakers isn’t your cup of tea and you want to rate it 3 stars or less, we would really appreciate you posting your review in the new year, or not at all.
