What happens when a struggling sports agent and a plus-size model fake an engagement to save a rescue goose? Christmas chaos, that’s what.
I didn’t plan to pretend to be in love with the gorgeous plus size model who rescued a goose from the chopping block at Oktoberfest. But when Sir Honksalot destroys her apartment and my parents sell their shop right before Christmas, a fake engagement seems like the perfect solution to our mutual housing woes.
Now we’re house-sitting a mansion together, but confined to one room...with only one bed. We have to convince everyone we’re the most boring couple in L.A., while dealing with a delinquent waterfowl with a sock-stealing habit and feelings that don’t feel fake at all.
This curvy girl romance features a bad-tempered rescue goose with his own social media following, a sports agent who’s secretly a romantic at heart, and a baddie plus-size model who knows her worth – all set in a prequel to the everyone’s favorite football family, the Kingmans.

Review:
Thank you to NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for providing me with an audio ARC of this title to listen to and give an honest review. The opinions expressed here are my own.
I'm in love with this series by Award. I love the inclusivity and positivity of her books. And this one was just as great as all the others. I wish I had known about this one around the holidays as it would have made a perfect holiday read!
I really enjoyed the narrators. Especially the female, Allie Shae. This is my first title listening to her. She did a great job brining Sarah Jane alive for me. I've listened to one other book narrated by Kyle Mason and I really enjoyed it. He did a fun job of narrating's Maguire Jerry in this novella.
The chemistry between the FMC and MMC is almost immediate in this piece. I love how they bonded over the rescue of a goose. But I also love their connection and how they are in similar places in their lives: both aspiring to do better at the jobs. Award has a great way of incorporating animals into her books, as well. They often times steal the show!
It was fun to see some characters I know but as their younger selves (since this piece is a prequel to the other books). I love when a novella can give me some insight into characters that I have already been introduced to. Plus we got to meet a character who is no longer around in the first book and it was great to have that glimpse.
There were many laugh out loud moments that made me smile and some sweet and sexy times between the FMC and MMC, as well.
Overall, this was a quick fun read that added some good information to the Kingmans world. Award has quickly become one of my favorite romance authors.
