Can a little holiday magic turn liars into lovers?

Victoria Cameron isn’t looking for love—she’s too busy chasing adventure. Seeking an invite to a private art auction, Victoria doesn’t hesitate to crash Cade Whitley’s work event, announcing herself as his girlfriend. When the “King of Dallas Nightlife” reluctantly goes along with her ruse, Victoria’s intrigued. Besides, it’s just a harmless fake date for one night.

Cade has no time for distractions, especially a carefree spirit like Victoria. But now their “date” has morphed into a Christmas weekend together to impress his boss. What starts as a charade becomes a weekend of undeniable chemistry—which suddenly, uncharacteristically, has this cowboy dreaming of settling down. But Victoria still craves freedom and change. As the holidays approach, can what started as a fake date move from a weekend to remember into true love?

Title:  Her Cowboy for the Holiday
Series:  The Cameron Family #1
Author:  Makenna Lee
Published:  October 28, 2025
Publisher:  Harlequin Special Edition
My Rating:  4.5 stars

Her Cowboy for the Holiday begins The Cameron Family series as Victoria crashes Cade’s event, declaring herself his girlfriend.   What harm is there in one totally fake date?  Besides, there’s a mystery she’s out to solve, and nothing gets in the way of an adventure for Victoria, especially not the truth!  She runs on adrenaline, he plans for every moment of his life.  Is there a future for two people so completely opposite?  Maybe, if they let walls crumble, and take a few risks in the name of love.

I always have fun with a Makenna Lee story, and I’m loving this new series from the very beginning.  Victoria and Cade might be total opposites, but tell that to the chemistry flaming between them.  One crashed event, going along with an obvious lie, suddenly turns into a Christmas weekend, discovering that they might have more in common than at first glance.

I enjoyed Her Cowboy for the Holiday by Makenna Lee; it’s well-written, emotional, filled with sparks of attraction, a bit of a mystery, and two people who counterbalance each other in the best possible way.  I’m definitely looking forward to learning more about the Cameron family members in future stories.  If this sounds like a romance you’d enjoy, then Victoria and Cade are happy to entertain you.  Enjoy.
