The Fake Wedding Project is a completely cute, forced proximity and fake relationship trope book.  The added bonus is that Amanda and Dane of the afore mentioned fake relationship are from warring families in the little town of Tinsel that looks like it is celebrating Christmas all year round.  When Amanda accidently work vomits, she and Dane are engaged in a bid to get out of the family business the gingerbread hits the fan.

Dane and Amanda are so adorable.  Both are extremely likable and each has a bone to pick with their families over the feud that has lasted generations in the little town of Tinsel.  Amanda had to hid her friendship with Dane's sister while growing up and Dane felt every accomplishment in his life was just a boasting point for his family to use against Amanda's.  Dane is ready to pretend to be engaged in the hopes they can get enough family members on their side to put this feud to rest once and for all.  Maybe they will even discover how the feud started when some copies of old letters start showing up at their door.

With enough fruitcake and gingerbread, you can finally fix everything I suppose.  This was a really cute story as the town tries to throw together a quick wedding for the couple they think will end the feud of the century, well at least in this sleepy little town.  They might live on different coasts and have incredibly different kinds of jobs, but the girl Dane crushed on so hard in high school just might be the woman he could spend his life with, at least he could if he can convince her that what they are faking just might be real.

The Fake Wedding Project is one of those kinds of books I like reading in between something heavy or long.  It is fun, fast, a little bit steamy and a great reset.  I even loved that sometimes in the end the girl needs to take the lead.

 Narration:
Both Connor Crais and CJ Bloom have huge catalogs of work, each with over 300 titles narrated.  With that you know that the experience is going to be polished and have the finesse of truly seasoned professionals.  Each did really well with their PoV and made the characters so much fun.  Even Chili the dog was given a great personality that shone through during narration.  I was able to listen at my usual 1.5x speed.
