Delightful Christmas Romance!
Pia Morgan’s hair brain scheme of finding a date for Christmas lunch with her family brings unexpected results. A wonderful combination of holiday angst, heartwarming characters, twists and romance. Enjoy!
I received an advance copy and am happy to leave my honest review.
Who is Pia? What about Kade? What does each of them do for a living? Adelaide, Jojo, Pia Abbie, and Zara are so much fun to read about at the restaurant and the outrageous idea that Pia throws out there during their Sunday brunch. I felt sad for Kade, dealing with Declan and who they are to one another. What happens when Pia goes online trying to find a Christmas Lunch date? Wowzers!!! That story did not go how I expected it to go! Read and see what mess Declan starts!!! What does he say? What ultimately happens?
RECEIVED THIS BOOK AS A GIFT FOR A FAIR/HONEST REVIEW and REVIEWER FOR Bloggin’ With M. Brennan.
Pia and her friends need dates to take home for Christmas so they come up with a deal to get them one way or another. Pia goes back to Tinder and finds someone who has the same sense of humour as her and decides to meet him. Little does she know that she knows him.
I love the way that what Kade thinks is unrequited love becomes something else. I enjoyed this and it’s my kind of happy ever after Christmas story. I only gave it 4 stars because I’d have liked it to go on a little bit more. That’s just my personal opinion though.
4 friends decide to get a date to take home at Christmas, so their parents leave them alone for a while.
Pia has always been in love with Kade and that is probably the reason that she is still single. Desperate to get a boyfriend, she tries a dating site on the Internet.
Kade has always been in love with Pia. He has tried to forget her, but it was impossible. He needs a date to take home on Boxing Day and tries to get it on the Net.
A sweet holiday story with some unexpected events that surprised me. I think the beginning of the book is quite slow but later it is ok. I like the dual POV. 3 stars and a half.
Such a fun premise. Great characters, major twists and turns. I was on the edge of my seat!
I’m excited to read the rest of the stories!

This was a fun and entertaining holiday romance. What could go wrong when four friends make a pact to each take a boyfriend home for Christmas? They are each willing to beg, borrow or buy a man to take home. Strong characters, and enjoyable story line, chemistry and romance during the holidays makes this a great holiday read. Highly recommend!

The first book in the Christmas Kisses series and I now want to read the complete series. Two people who have known each other for sometime, but have never dated until they connect on-line, not realizing who the other is. I enjoyed reading Pia Morgan and Kade Reiss’ story.

This was a cute story. I love how they both had crushes that were never revealed until they met up again. The drama with the brother causes some frustration but it all works out. I can’t wait to see how the other three fair in the bargain.

What started out just as a date to put Pia’s family off from pressuring her about being single ended up placing her face to face with her old crush Kade. Kade was intrigued by the girl he had been texting about the date for Christmas lunch with her parents but when he came face to face with the girl he fell in love with when he was young, all bets were off and he knew he would do anything to make Pia his.

The four girls are all in similar positions so they make a\ pack that they will get dates to take home for Christmas. Pia’s endeavours are not successful till she goes online and ‘meets’ K. He seems to be too good to be true and, at times, as if she already knew him? |When they decide to meet actually near where her family home is, she is startled to see Kade, her schoolgirl crush sitting exactly where she is to meet K!! Is Kade K??? Kenna Shaw Reed has delivered a delightful read for us all here with charismatic characters that are so easy to love. It is a real page turner and K is HOT! I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the series.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.Most Definitely Recommended
A perfect e-stocking filler. This fun tale is just the thing to get everyone in a festive mood. Plenty of laughs, romance and tricky situations to be navigated. I loved the author’s portrayal of Pia and Kade.

A lovely story set in Australia, yay for a hot Christmas! The characters themselves do a good job of making their Christmas sizzling. Smart banter is one of Ms. Shaw-Reed’s specialties. What starts like a foolish challenge for a single woman, turns into a beautiful love story and it’s delightful to see it unravel in a smart and funny manner, intertwined with a realistic undercurrent of family issues, adulting, and life choices.
This is a great read with an awesome storyline that has well developed and engaging characters that have lots of chemistry. The smooth flow of the storyline makes for a good reading time.

She was the right woman just at the wrong tome. Pia wanted is in need of a fake boyfriend for Christmas and the only way was to go online. What she got was someone she knew from high school. What she didn’t know was the secret feelings he has had for her all this time. When Kade’s father told him that the person who married first would get the inheritance he was taken by surprise. He never expected that his online date would be the woman of is dreams. Are things looking up for Kade and is fate steering him and Pia towards a Merry Christmas with a happily ever after in their future?
