- Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2024These two are adorable! Couldn't put it down from the first word I read! Kennedy and Riley needed each other. What an extraordinary healing and beautiful HEA for both of them. Thank you Penelope and Vi for a short and sweet feel good romance!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2024Riley Kennedy works at a publishing house that has two Manhattan locations. At the other office? A man named - Kennedy Riley. When they finally meet, the very handsome Kennedy proposes a pact. Kennedy will accompany Riley to her family Christmas as her fake boyfriend and Riley will attend a family wedding with Kennedy, as his fake date. Will Riley step out of her boring life and live a little? Will Kennedy survive the wedding he’s dreading?
This is a cute, Christmas novella that only takes an hour or so to read. The authors do a great job of broadening the story so it doesn’t feel like an insta-love connection, but something you can feel grow between the MCs. It’s not spicy by any means, but if you want to read a charming romance with an email-sent-to-the-wrong-recipient meet cute, a white horse, and a meddling advice columnist, this is the story for you.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2024How can you not love a super cute, sweet, and funny Christmas story! Smooches only, but the chemistry is smoking.
Just short enough for an evening curled up under the Christmas lights with a warm cup of cocoa, a fire, and your favorite blanket.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2020Pleasant and predictable holiday romantic comedy. About two co-workers who get their emails exchanged as one is Riley Kennedy; the other is Kennedy Riley.
When Kennedy (the male co-worker) receives Riley's emails he indulges in some "constructive" commentary on the contents, Riley merely forwards his messages to him. This continues until Riley gets tipsy one night and writes to an advice columnist about her mother's yearly over-the-top Christmas letter, where she always feels the least significant and accomplished of her three other siblings. The columnists assistant writes back, but not to Riley, but to Kennedy. In the letter, the assistant essentially tells Riley "to get a life". To Riley's embarrassment, Kennedy contributes by agreeing.
The two meet at the company's holiday party and after some initial hostilities, the realize they can help each other out by playing the role of boyfriend nd girlfriend for the other's family over the holidays. And with some humorous incidents at the perspective families holiday gatherings, the two actually realize they really like each other and sparks fly. Unfortunately, both are recovering from pain in previous relationships, and both will have to grow in order for a new relationship to work. Will that happen? And in this modern world, which one of the two will ear the burden of a double first-and-last name if they eventually marry: Riley Riley or Kennedy Kennedy?

- Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2024This was a cute, short book. I really enjoyed it and loved the characters. I love these authors and look forward to reading more from them.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2024Very enjoyable story that made me laugh out loud occasionally. This was not my typical read/listen as it has absolutely no spice as it was a closed door story and I didn't mind it. I thought the premise of two people who have the same named Riley Kennedy and Kennedy Riley who get each other's emails was priceless. Would I recommend this? Sure if you are looking for a cute rom com story. Could I recommend it to my mom? Yes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Très agréable lecture.
C’est léger, sympathique et les notes d’humour qui saupoudrent l’histoire sont les bienvenues après le pensum qu’était un autre livre que je viens de terminer à grand peine.
C’est le typique roman feel good et cela fait du bien d’en lire un de temps en temps.

This is the first book I read from the duo authors which was amazing.
Riley and Kennedy were incredible. They were funny together, adorable. They both had some heart breaking past. It would have been great if we could read more about them.
It was a fun read.
