My Review
This is a warm, festive, and emotionally uplifting holiday romance that blends fake-engagement fun with genuine heart. Tami Adams arrives on picturesque Polk Island expecting Christmas cheer—not a breakup. Determined to avoid her mother’s relentless matchmaking and salvage her holiday spirit, she strikes a deal with her best friend, Aiden Worthington: they’ll pretend to be engaged for the season. What begins as a simple plan quickly becomes complicated as long-buried feelings surface and their easy friendship deepens into something undeniably real.
Jacqueline Thomas beautifully captures the magic of the holidays while exploring themes of grief, healing, and the quiet bravery it takes to open your heart. Aiden’s struggle with Christmas after his father’s passing adds emotional depth, balancing Tami’s journey toward rediscovering joy and self-worth. Their chemistry is tender and believable, especially highlighted in scenes like Aiden’s unforgettable entrance—confident, composed, and offering Tami the comfort she didn’t realize she needed.
With its cozy island setting, heartfelt moments, and irresistible best-friends-to-lovers charm, Fiancé Under the Mistletoe is a delightful holiday read that delivers warmth, romance, and hope.
