4 posts | 4 read | 3 to read
While You Were Sleeping meets The Wedding Date with a fun Puerto Rican holiday twist in NYT and USA Today bestselling author Ginny Baird's latest romance, in which a diner waitress agrees to be her patron's fake date...only for him to land in a coma and her to be stuck playing his sweetheart with his family all week long. Lonely-hearted waitress Katie Smith has nowhere to go for Christmas, and a huge crush on her gorgeous diner patron Juan Martinez. So when Juan asks Katie to pose as his girlfriend for holiday festivities at his family's winery, Katie leaps at the chance...that is, until an accident lands Juan in a coma right after giving his folks the "news." Katie knows she should tell the Martinezes the truth, but when they immediately embrace her, Katie is reluctant to let her fantasy of a family holiday go. And then there's Juan's brother, Mateo, whose smile tugs at her heartstrings just right—and who tells her perfect Juan might not be everything he seems. Second son Mateo Martinez loves his brother, but Juan's plan to "rebrand and expand" Los Cielos Cellars has cost their family too much and put its entire tradition in jeopardy. Katie seems to understand, but she's still committed to Juan...even when Mateo starts to wish her gentle heart and beautiful smile were committed to him instead. With the winery at stake, secrets on all sides, and Juan due to wake up any day, can Katie and Mateo follow their hearts to a Christmas miracle, or will this mix-up ruin their chances?

I love a good fake dating trope and this one is a gem! Great characters with a heavy while you were sleeping vibe! Fun and easy to read!

Mehso-so

I gave Ginny Baird another try, and eeeh. This one as ok! I almost bailed but stuck through it because I liked the plot so much. It just wasn‘t given the spark it could‘ve had. Katie + Mateo‘s chemistry was told to us more than it was shown (and then they both acted like the other didn‘t like them?) so the writing just isn‘t my style! There were also a couple grammatical errors - don‘t know if it was just my version.

While you were sleeping meets the wedding date is how this one is described. Heavier on the while you were sleeping part though! Good so far. Light #wintergames day hoping tomorrow I have more free time! #snowflakesquad

I loved almost every moment of this book. A fake dating trope is hit or miss for me, but I loved how it was done in this one. Maybe that's because it was mostly a misunderstanding rather than blatant lying. The story was adorable, yet it still had hilarious moments. One thing I didn't care for was flashback scenes. They didn't happen often, but I feel like the book would have been okay without them.
