Publisher's summary

Fake romance shouldn’t feel this real....

Will: I've never been with a man.

Sure, I've thought about it. Wondered. Daydreamed. Imagined. But I wasn't ready to take the leap.

I have a reputation as a "ladies' man". No one has any idea how curious I am about men—not even my openly bi best friend. Make that former best friend. Michael ghosted me, and I have no idea why.

Michael: The man I love is straight.

It hurt like hell when I had to distance myself from Will. I’ve tried desperately to grow up and get over him, but my carefully constructed life just fell apart—and Will rushes to my rescue.

Now we’re pretending to be a couple to impress his boss at a holiday retreat. We’re holding hands and hugging.

We’re sharing a bed.

And Will just kissed me.

Is my best friend falling in love with me after all?

The Christmas Leap by Keira Andrews is a Christmas romance featuring friends to lovers, bi awakening, first times, and of course a happy ending. This stand-alone novel takes place in the same universe as The Christmas Deal.

Fantastic Narration

Greg Beaudreaux elevates every book he narrates. His accents are fantastic, and he’s truly challenged in this book!

The story of a bi-awakening and best friends to lovers is always a favorite of mine, and this did not disappoint. I wish these characters were better at communicating, but once they figured it out, it was so sweet and steamy, too! I enjoyed the side characters as well. All in all a great holiday listen.

Frustration off and on

There is a lot to like about this book, and Greg Boudreaux is an excellent narrator. I just keep losing patience with Michael. He is so insecure that he fails to communicate his thoughts and feelings at times people who genuinely like one another would have shared. His second guessing and insecurities make the story drag on and on and on and….
So there’s still and hour left and Michael is getting ready to sabotage the tentative love between himself and Will, his bff from college. Will is open and ready to take their relationship further, but as a newly awakened “bi” he’s depending on Michael to help guide the way. Sigh….
I generally like Kiera Andrews books very much, but I’m actually not able to stomach Michael another minute.
I’ll take a break then go back and finish when I’m not feeling so frustrated.

I am secretly in love with Angela Barker

Will brings his long time friend, Michael, as a last minute guest to his company retreat. The check-in person assumes they are dating. When the rumor mill starts up about Will dating a man, and the owner of the company finds out, it seems too late to tell the truth. What if they secretly want it to be true, each in their own way?

I really loved seeing the main characters, Seth and Logan, from the first book in this second book. The timeframe started around the epilogue of the first book, which was perfect. Also, it was great to hear the real star of book 1, secondary character, Angela Barker, have a large role in book 2. Described as a “pink supportive hurricane”, I’m not sure how she knows everything about everyone when she talks so much, no one can get a word in. It would be cool if at the end of the series, we find out that she knew about the capers all along and was secretly meddling. I also have to mention that as soon as I realized she would be in this book, I worried that her voice/accent would sound different with a different narrator (notice, this wasn’t a concern for Seth and Logan’s characters), but Greg voiced her exactly how John did.

I picked up on some hinting in the book that Connor, Logan’s son, could get his own book. How awesome would that be?!

This book, as read by the best narrator in the world, was a real holiday treat!

Sweet holiday read

I definitely enjoy the fake relationship trope and this was a good take on that one. It’s also a fun holiday read. Very happy with the HEA though sad to leave these characters and their story. There was also the only one bed trope which is also always a lot of fun. The narrator did a fantastic job bringing the story and characters to life.

Worth a reread

I'm just sad that it's over. This was sweet, light with a nice heat towards the end

I loved this!

This was like reading a sultry Hallmark story. I fell in love with both Will and Michael as characters and thought they were so cute together. This was a perfect fluffy Christmas romance, and the narration was soooo good. I loved how distinguishable the characters were. Great listen!

Loved the relationship dynamic

I’ve never been compelled to binge an author’s library of work before now. This is the 5th in a row I’ve listened to by Keira. Her characters are SO ENDEARING and their angst is absolutely palpable. I loved every single second ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Did some even listen to the book???

OK first...I liked the book and the fact that it was in the same universe as The Christmas Deal was terrific.
now
OK for the reviews that mention the quickness of them falling in love...Hello they were both in love already before meeting again.
How can this happen you ask.? My current partner of 17 years met again after being apart for 10 years and had been in love that whole time. We met at Thanksgiving and were engaged by NYE. So yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus..
