About this listen
A Spicy, Small-Town, Christmas RomCom
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.

I recieved this book as a digital copy ARC and also on audio in exchange for an honest review. I chose to listen on audio and I was not disappointed in the slightest!
This cosy holiday rom-com follows Piper, a very talented artist and Brody a very sucsessful actor and model. The pair have known eachother since childhood where they grew up in the same small town until Brody moved away to fulfil his dreams.
After 12 years away, Brody is back in town and the two end up fake dating to help Brody's image and hopefully land an upcoming role.
I really loved the relationships and connections in this and seeing the love blossom between both MC's was beautiful.
This is a slow burn but when the spice hits it really hits! It had me blushing and swooning. Brody really does have a dirty mouth on him when he gets going 🤭
This book has some great tropes that I always enjoy:
-Fake dating
-One bed
-Small Town
-Brothers best friend
This book is part of the Christmas at Hideaway Harbour series in which each book is wrote by a different author which I love! They are interconnected standalones that can be read in any order. I can't wait to go back and visit Hideaway Harbour.
Once again thank you so much to Evie, I really enjoyed this book and I am definitely going to look up some more of your books and I really enjoyed the style of writing.

I really liked both Brody and Piper as characters, and liked how Alexander builds their relationship. It by no means felt rushed, but it even more so felt much more developed because we know that these two have grown up together and already have a strong base as friends. It all fit together very well to make their romance feel more real.
I also loved the side characters and all their hijinks. Piper’s mom especially is quite the little menace with all her antics to get Brody and Piper together. This being the first of the Hideaway Harbor books that I’ve read, I was kinda hoping that the other books would star some of Piper’s siblings. It seems not, but maybe that just means that Evie Alexander will write more books in the future about them? (Pretty please??)
I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that this book brings the spice. Like a lot. And very satisfying. Trust me, you will not be disappointed with that 😉
As far as the plot goes, I could not have been more happy with how it all turned out. I really, really, really dislike a third act breakup in a romance novel and have only found a few that do it well. I was so glad to see that in this book, when Piper and Brody have an issue with miscommunication, they act like adults and actually talk to each other and immediately sort it out. What a concept! I was so worried for a second because I felt that breakup brewing, and then when it didn’t happen it was the biggest relief. I also really appreciated how the conflict of Piper and Brody fitting their lives together was solved. It came together very nicely.
Finally, I have to give an extra shout out because I ended up listening to most of the book on audio. Willa James and Grayson Owen’s did such a good job narrating, I loved how they brought the characters to life.
Many thanks to Evie Alexander for the chance to read this book in advance. I am happy to leave this honest review.
Perfect Holiday Romance!
