I love those cheesy winter hallmark movies and this is like one! A super cute fake marriage trope for an inheritance. Enjoyed reading this and recommend to all who enjoy kisses only and wholesome moments!

Received and arc via NetGalley for my honest review

This was a proper make me smile rom com of a read. Like I was snuggling down in a hallmark movie scene and feeling so smug about life!
No in all seriousness it was great.
Not to heavy. But no patchy or cliche either. It was just really pleasant and cheeky and all the tick boxes you want for a seasonal read. Although I'd happily read it all year round.
Of course we want the two main characters to get together but it was fun watching them get there.

ARC Review ✨️

☆Luke & Noelle♡

Noelle finds herself in a rough patch. After finding out her brother is moving and she must now pay for his half of the rent as well as hers, she also finds out the boarding place for her horse Buttercup is going to cost more monthly as well. Now she has to decide what to do. Luckily for her, Luke is her brothers best friend, and he's willing to move in and pay the half rent. Sadly, his parents aren't willing to allow that, so he forms a plan to get fake married to Noelle. He's just gotta get her on board first.
This was such a funny, cute holiday read! I loved how the story ended up unfolding. They had to face so many obstacles, and I felt so bad for them a few times. The animals in this story are so stinking cute! I have always wanted a fluffy cow so I'm kinda jealous😂🖤 If you're searching for a holiday day read, with some twists, cute animals, amazing characters, and some great writing, this is it!

Tropes:
♡Brother's best friend
☆Fake marriage
♡rom-com
☆kisses only
♡forced proximity
☆holiday romance

Thanks so much to the author and Victory Editing Netgalley Co-op for the ARC!

I really enjoyed this book! The characters were great and very entertaining. The story was very well written and I loved the plot!

This is a kisses only romcom in the Christmas Shenanigans series by J.P. Sterling. As far as I know, this is a standalone story. I didn't feel like I needed to have read the others in the series to know what was going on. Perhaps if I had read them, I may have enjoyed this one more though. This was also my first book by this author. I may give another one of her books a try, but this one just wasn't my favorite.

The main characters knew each other growing up and had a kissing incident that involved slobber. That is often referred to and gagging and other bodily reactions are described several times. I just didn't enjoy that at all. Then, the story itself seemed odd. The female character needs a roommate because she can't break her lease. She finds a roommate, but then it doesn't work out and she moves out immediately. What?!?

Then there were other events that just made me shake my head with wonder. I don't want to give away any spoilers for those that want to read this, so I'll stop there. I know other reviewers really enjoyed this book. And I know and respect some of those that I read. It just wasn't a book I would recommend at this time.

I was provided a complimentary copy of the digital version of this book through Netgalley. I'm happily leaving an honest review there, but won't leave negative reviews in other places for it.

This book was cute, I felt it was a bit choppy and seemed to move extremely fast. I think the story would be better if it was given the time to build and expand a bit more. it was an easy read and may be good for people who don't have a lot of time and just looking for something to keep them entertain. but I would have really liked to seen this story a little more details

Let's Not and Sleigh We Did is the third book in the Christmas Shenanigans series. I had not personally read the previous books in the series and found I was able to enjoy this one just fine as a standalone.

This was such a cute holiday romance with all the makings of a Hallmark movie! Christmas Shenanigans is truly the perfect title for this series (or at least this book), because there was a whole lot going on in this story--- Noelle finds herself in need of a new roommate/place to live and her brother's best friend whom she'd shared an awful first kiss with in middle school steps into help... and when he learns that he needs to be married to inherit a house, a fake marriage seems like the perfect solution for everyone. Except that the two have never really gotten along. The more time they spend together, the more that changes and I found I really enjoyed seeing her come around to him as the story went on. The story had a good dose of Christmas magic (not to mention an adorable cow) and was just a really fun holiday read!

Let's Not and Sleigh We Did is a closed-door romance with kisses only and no language.

**ARC received via Netgalley for consideration. All opinions are my own.

A fun short fake marriage story. Noelle agrees to take part Luke so they both get what they want, but will deal feelings get involved?

Slubberkiss and marriage don’t mix—or at least, that’s what Noelle thought. That is, until she found herself broke and on the verge of losing her beloved horse. And as everyone knows, desperate times call for desperate measures... even if that means pretending to marry your sworn enemy, Luke.

But here’s the twist: Luke has been head-over-heels (more like headlong!) in love with Noelle for years, and he’s ready to do whatever it takes to prove he’s the right guy for her (sometimes a little too much, haha).

Expect fake dating, brother’s best friend vibes, and a classic he falls first—hard.
4.5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ for a short and sweet Christmas rom-com that’ll warm your heart

This was cute! A great romcom for modern day romance. I love that this is relatable and it was a quick and easy read!

Honestly such a well written holiday book for the christmas season, such a cute whimsy, cute, & fun read. The romance in this novel was so cute and has now become one of my favorite holiday reads. i will be re-reading this every year during this christmas season. Easy and quick read if you are looking for a cute holiday read, it is book 3 within the "Christmas Shenanigans series". Thank you sm for the ARC netgalley and j.p :)

It’s so nice having a wholesome clean Christmas book to read for a change. You’re not always up for a spicy book you just want a warm cozy love story and this perfectly fits the bill!

A super fun holiday romance that will make you laugh while rooting for these lovable characters.
This is the perfect holiday rom-com.
Wonderful writing and such a fun storyline. It's a quick and easy read. I loved it!

This was so cute!! I loved the writing style. It was witty, fun and comical. I flew through this book.

The romance was so sweet. I couldn't get over how nervous these two were around each other. It was too adorable.

A great holiday romcom!

4.5⭐
"How do I break it to Noelle I can't move in with her?
Or how do I tell her the even better news?
We're getting married!"
Noelle has been icked out by Luke since they were kids, but when her brother moves out and her only option is to accept Luke as her roommate or lose everything - both her home and her beloved horse - she's forced to accept Luke into her life. But Luke, well, he's been in love with Noelle for as long as he can remember, and when he blurts out to his parents that he's been considering marrying his so-called girlfriend Noelle, the pressure is on to figure out what to do.

This was such a cute festive novella, with a fake dating trope with one-sided attraction that turned to attraction on both sides as they got to know each other better. There were some elements which were over-the-top, hence this not receiving a perfect rating (like how Noelle initially nearly pukes whenever she sees Luke), however overall I loved the Christmasy vibes of this and had a great time reading this!

Thank you to NetGalley, J.P. Sterling, and Victory Editing for this eARC in exchange for an honest review, all opinions are my own 💕

Cute, cute, cute! I enjoyed this holiday story and the cow! I would like to see more from Sterling in the future. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.
