Sunny Shelly’s Review: Merry eXes by L.B. Dunbar

But when emotions get a little too real, love might be the best gift to give this year.

Merry eXes, the all-new single dad, fake dating holiday romance by bestselling author L.B. Dunbar is Available Now in Audio, duet narrated by Oliver Highpoint and Stephanie Nemeth-Parker!

Fake dating turns into a holiday fling until feelings get in the way and hearts suggest taking this something-new into the next year.

Last Christmas, Noelle’s boyfriend broke up with her when she thought he was going to propose.

Last Christmas, Dane’s wife asked him for a divorce, leaving this firefighter a single father to his precious twin six-year-olds.

This year, the honor of Dane Winter and Noelle Darling’s presence has been requested at the wedding of their exes . . . to each other.

With a hotel mishap, only one bed, and a weather snafu, two lonely exes make the most out of the holiday season by fake-dating each other as wedding guests and enjoying peppermint-spice worthy time when alone.

It’s only for the weekend, right?

But when emotions get a little too real, love might be the best gift to give this year.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Noelle and Dane’s story was absolutely charming! Dane is Noelle’s best friend’s older brother, but they have no idea that they are connected beyond that until, a year after they are both dumped, they discover that his ex-wife is marrying her ex-boyfriend. What was a weekend they were both dreading becomes a delightfully unexpected present and the start of something beautiful.

This story had so much heart, and it was so witty! Dane and Noelle complemented each other so well, whereas they were terribly mismatched with their previous partners. Everything about the progression of their relationship felt natural and I couldn’t wait to see what came next for them. They each have a lot of baggage and high-demand careers (he’s a firefighter, she’s an ER nurse), but that just served to bond them further. Dane was the best dad to his twins Gracie and Gloria, and I adored the relationship that Noelle developed with his girls.

If you are looking for a low-angst holiday romance with all the feels, don’t pass up Merry eXes! I received a complimentary copy and voluntarily left a review.
