It’s also a very entertaining one that will fill a slow afternoon over the holidays.ĭecked With Holly is told from dual points of view: Holly and Dominic, aka as Nick or Don, depending on who you are. Still, the story takes place over Christmas and with all the cuteness overflowing from it, it’s sure to be a book that gives all warm and fuzzy feels. It was a little less Christmassy than I had expected because one of the main characters, Holly, is of Jewish descent, so Christmas wasn’t exactly a holiday that she celebrates. Happy First Advent! What better way to get into the Christmas season than with holiday-day themed books? So I picked up Decked With Holly by Marni Bates to get into the mood. How bad could it be to be fauxmantically involved with one of the cutest rockstars on the planet? Holly’s about to find out… But the band can’t risk a scandal destroying their family-friendly image, so Dominic convinces Holly to be his fake girlfriend–just for two weeks. Suddenly rumors are swirling, and Holly’s face is captured on countless phones and plastered all over the Internet. Because Nick just happens to be Dominic Wyatt, drummer for ReadySet–one of the hottest bands in America. But when Holly goes to make her exit, she gets the shock of her life: a corridor crammed with screaming teenage fans. The culprit? A gorgeous guy calling himself Nick. And when in a moment of seasick-fueled desperation she lurches into an open suite–she’s greeted with an eyeful of pepper spray. Spending Christmas vacation on a cruise with her two cousins from hell isn’t Holly’s idea of a good time.

Holly Dayton is about to go way out of her comfort zone…
