Fake dates. Real feelings. One Christmas to get it right.

Sara Jones has been crushing on River Moondragon for years, but he’s never seen her as anything more than his sister’s dependable best friend—the kind you can always count on, but don’t kiss under the mistletoe. (Much to Sara’s eternal frustration.)

When River returns from his humanitarian work in Africa, Sara is finally ready to tell him how she feels. Before she can gather her courage, a mutual friend cheerfully hands them a list of upcoming Christmas parties—each requiring a date—and volunteers them to go together as each other’s “safe dates.”

But pretending changes everything. Suddenly River can’t stop noticing Sara—the way she laughs, the way she lights up a room, and the way she might just be lighting up his whole life. The more they pretend, the more real it becomes.

Now River has a choice: protect their easy friendship… or risk everything for the woman he’s beginning to realize might be the gift he didn’t know he needed.

I've come to desperately long for these.

For me, the Christmas Street books are an early warning of Christmas season. Heather writes some of the sweetest romances, with fun entertaining characters. They often face real world issues, but she will drag you through their lows, so you can appreciate their climb to wonderful highs.
This latest one has us finally confronting Sarah and River, who we met in the last book. River is the son of hippie parents who live on a bus, traveling the country. He's a doctor who just spent an extended time in Africa helping set up a clinic. Sara is an art therapist daughter of uptight parents who only think about social status. Sara's always felt like she's a disappointment to them, while her "perfect" sister Holly is the only one their parents approve of.
Tensions are high as Holly is getting married, but River is back from Africa, and Sara convinces him to be her "fake" date to several parties leading up to Christmas, where she can hopefully, finally confess her love for him. But River believes he shouldn't date his little sister's best friend, as it would ruin his friendship with Sara.
Can the magic of Christmas Street bring these two together? Well, that's why you need to read this book.

great story!

Christmas street had me hooked from the very first one! Each and every story is different and yet just as interesting as the others. Because I’ve bought them all so far, I have gone back to read some over. They are fast reads! So glad River stepped up…smart man! Thanks Heather Horrocks, for all your hard work! Can’t wait for the next one
