Yule Be Mine by Charlene Teglia

Bah! Humbug! Jordan Christian has had it with holiday hoopla. The unwanted sympathy for her single status leads to unwanted would-be suitors as her relatives can't seem to stop fixing her up with Mr. Never In A Million Years.

But this year, the wily bachelorette has a plan to outwit her family. With the aid of a singles' ad, Jordan plans to snare a stand-in fiance. In return, she'll stand by her man to fend off his relatives. For once the holiday season will be a time of peace on earth and goodwill towards man. Especially the man who will save her sanity! Jordan knows he's got to be out there, and he needs her help as badly as she needs his.

Luke Foster dreads Christmas. The annual clan gathering always overflows with bothersome questions like "when are you going to settle down?" Jordan's ad is like a Christmas miracle. She'll fend off his family, and he'll shield her from hers. It's the perfect solution...

...until Jordan and Luke meet and find more than they bargained for.

Set in picturesque Burlington, Vermont on the shores of Lake Champlain, YULE BE MINE is an un-traditional holiday tale of madness and magic as two unmarried holdouts forget what they have against matrimony. All of a sudden, the reasons for making it a lasting partnership are piling up faster than the snow. And two frozen hearts are melting faster than a spring thaw.

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

Jordan decides to acquire a fake fiancé for the holidays, so her brothers will quit setting her up with men. Answering her personal ad, Luke also needs a fake fiancée so his family would leave him alone. The duo team up only to find they truly care for each other and want the relationship to be anything but fake.

What a cute story! That’s the first thing that came to mind after I finished YULE BE MINE. I adored Jordan – a pixie with an attitude and the ability to twist the men in her life around her pinkie. Jordan and Luke are a perfect match, complementing one another. There are many delightful moments where the two bicker just for the fun of it, deliberately irritating the other. Full of light-hearted moments, YULE BE MINE is an amusing holiday story perfect for an evening in front of the fire.
