A Groom for Christmas (Love On a Dare Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Cara Marsi (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars (81)
Like a Hallmark movie with heat.

Winner! 2014 New Jersey Romance Writers Golden Leaf Award Fun. Holiday. Family. A GROOM FOR CHRISTMAS is a new twist on the classic Hallmark Christmas movie full of family, humor, love, and a little bit of redemption. Family pressure just might make her do something crazy... When a young woman hires her hometown’s former bad boy to be her pretend fiancé for the holidays, she finds she can’t wrap up her feelings as easily as a Christmas gift. New York jewelry designer Graceann Palmer has two days to find a fiancé to bring home to Pennsylvania for the holidays so her matchmaking mama will quit fixing her up with jerks. The Falcon, a motorcycle-riding, leather-clad former high school crush, helped her out once before. Maybe he'll do it again. Jake Falco, man of many mysteries, is back in town on a mission—one the people of Spirit Lake most likely won't appreciate. When Graceann presents him with her crazy scheme, it gives him something he's always wanted—a chance to get to know Graceann. It also gives him the perfect opportunity to add fuel to his project of revenge. But as Jake and Graceann grow closer, their engagement-of-convenience begins to feel like the real deal—until Jake’s secrets are revealed. Can a relationship that began with lies and secrets bloom like a rare Christmas rose into happily-ever-after? 2013 Snow Globes Award Contest Finalist 2014 Readers' Choice Nominee, Best Couple, Love Romances Cafe 2014 RomCon Awards Finalist Wedded On a Dare, Love On a Dare Book 2, available now.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Holiday Love Story!!!

    * * * * * 5 Stars

    Graceann had to come up with a fake fiancee within the next two days before she shows up at ther grandmom's house for the holidays. Being in a desperate situation, she approaches Jake Falcon, a guy with a bad boy image she had when she was in high school. She was willing to pay top dollars for the favor. After explaining to Jake her situation he accepts to be her fake fiancee for the Christmas holiday, but little did she knew that her life would never be the same after she picked up Jake.

    Jake Falcon, a guy with a reputation of being the bad boy from Spring Lake, their hometown, was surprised when Graceann approched him with the crazy idea of the fake fiancee, but it was perfect for him, since he had a hidden agenda for his plan to work. Little did he knew that once he was playing the role his whole world would be turned upside down.

    I love how this book shows you that not everything is what you see or hear. Graceann and Jake were from two different worlds yet they both had same issues. I really enjoy the story.

    I would gladly recommend for you to read it.

    Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2014
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    this is a fun book. I love how Jake changes his views on the town due to Graceann who he loves and I think has since high school.

    Graceann needs a finace and fast and there is Jake at the diner. Thinking he needs the money, graceann asks him to help. She here jumps to the conclusion Jake is like he was when she knew him not thinking he may change and is what Jake feels the town is at first judegmental. But as they begin this farce, they begin to learn who each other is. Jake sees what family, love and goodness is. He finds love and happiness in GraceAnn. Graceann slowly succumbs to Jake and finds she loves him too but is afraid.

    The hijinks that these two go through in the book will have you smile. The snowball fight and the dog are so fun to see. As these two get close, Jake sees what he wants to be. He wants to change and be a better man for Graceann but before this can happen, his occupation and new project is exposed and GraceAnn over reacts. She becomes a douche canoe really and doesn't listen. Jake does fight for her though. Yay

    A fun warm sweet romance that will have you laugh and see that you can't judge a person by who they were for you may miss something wonderful.

    A Groom for Christmas is a delightful "Hallmark Christmas" love story. The chemistry between Jake and Graceann crackles like a Yule log. What begins as a business arrangement to get her matching-making mama off her back goes from pretend to real, but not without obstacles. A well-crafted short read with Cara Marsi's trademark happily-ever-after ending that will definitely jumpstart your holiday. Download today. You'll love it as much as I did.

    Jake and Graceann were a couple I cheered for from the first chapter. Hot, dreamy, every girl’s ideal, Jake stole my heart as soon as he came onto the page. Graceann’s main concern for the holidays is to get her mother off her back. so she asks Jake to pretend to be her boyfriend and spend the holidays with her and her family. What ignites between them is not made-up and they both wonder if it can last past the New Year. I’m a huge Cara Marsi fan and this book goes to the top of my list of favorites of hers! It’s a fast read, with lovable characters that stole my heart.

    Graceann needed a fiancé in a hurry, so she asked Jake to be her fake fiancé for the holidays. She did this so her mother would back off from her constant matchmaking. As usual when you're faking it, things don't always go as planned. They began to have real feelings for one another. Jake was mysterious about his life. When his secrets are discovered, will their budding love survive? Loved the ending. The story grabbed me in the beginning and kept me interested to the end. I urge you to read Jake and Graceann's story.

    A lovely Christmas romance. Perfect read for the holidays, but I would have enjoyed the book at any time of the year. It’s full of everything you look for in a romance, a mysterious hero, and a lady who needs to be reminded that there is true love. I greatly enjoyed this book and will definitely be looking for more books from this author.

    Ms. Marsi has a knack for working the standard tropes into stories suitable for a Hallmark movie for grown ups. Former Bad Boy Jake Falco has come home with a plan in mind, and is totally thrown off his tracks by the offer from Graceann, and he agrees to pretend to be her boyfriend for the holidays.

    Mix in some well-developed family members and some incendiary love scenes and you won't need the fireplace to warm you this winter!
