A Match Made for Thanksgiving - Book Review by Voodoo Bride

 

A Match Made for Thanksgiving (Holidays with the Wongs #1)
by Jackie Lau

What is it about:
Advertising executive Nick Wong enjoys living in Toronto. He loves late nights partying and taking women back to his penthouse. And so it is with great reluctance that he returns to his boring hometown of Mosquito Bay for Thanksgiving.

This year, however, is even worse than usual. His interfering parents and grandparents, frustrated with the lack of weddings in the family, have invited blind dates for him and his three siblings. Nick’s brother Greg has been set up with Lily Tseng, who just so happens to be Nick’s latest one-night stand, the one he can’t get out of his mind.

Although Nick has never been interested in settling down, Lily has him reconsidering. Perhaps he’s good for more than a single night of sex, dumplings, and bubble tea after all. But first, he has to get through this painful weekend with his family and convince her that she should be with him, not Greg…

What did Voodoo Bride think of it:
I was in the mood for a sweet contemporary romance and saw a review for the third book in this series, that had fake dating. You might know it's a favorite trope of mine, so I got my hands on the boxed set of this series.

And this first novella was a winner.

The story switches viewpoints between Nick and Lily. I liked Lily from the start and cheered her on. Nick was a cool hero as well, but it was his family, especially his grandparents and parents who stole my heart. They're meddlesome, but in a way I could laugh about, their antics are fun.

This being a novella it's instalove and the problems are quickly resolved, but I didn't mind as this is such a fun and fluffy read. If this book sets the tone for the rest of the series, I'm on board for the ride!

Why should you read it:
It's a delightful Contemporary Romance
