Hers for the Weekend (Carrigan’s Christmasland, #3)
Helena Greer
The relationship is a lie but the sparks are real in this laugh-out-loud, sparkling rom-com where a no-nonsense lawyer fakes a relationship with her barista to avoid going solo to her ex-girlfriend's wedding. No-nonsense lawyer Tara Sloane Chadwick is perfectly fine with going to her ex’s wedding—the break-up was congenial, and Tara is nothing if not well-mannered. But after one too many reminders of her dismal dating track, Tara panics when asked if she'll need a plus-one and declares she's bringing her new girlfriend. One Tara is seriously single. Thankfully, Holly, the waitress she's been crushing on, happily offers to be her fake date . . . Only Holly's offer isn't quite selfless—she's been lusting over Tara for ages, but Tara only dates women she can marry. And Holly has no interest in settling down with anyone or in any one place. A temporary arrangement is the perfect Holly and Tara can enjoy a no-strings fling for the wedding and part ways after. However, between sharing kisses and hotel beds and cuddling under the mistletoe, Tara begins to dream of a life with Holly in Charleston . . . just as Holly starts wishing she could travel with Tara by her side. Soon, neither can see a future without the other, but can they find a path forward where they both can thrive?

0i really wanted to love this story and i was enjoying it up until the third act, where it all kind of fell apart for me. the connection between tara and holly needed more build up to feel believable and it felt like their issues were just too insurmountable for them to put them aside and be together. both of them needed a lot of work and a lot of therapy before they could be even slightly ready for a romantic relationship. it really bothered me that holly was essentially shunned after the third act breakup, despite the fact that they were both pretty bad to each other, just because it was all of tara's friends who were part of the carrigan's crew.
overall, it was still a fun read and i loved all the character's from carrigan's and their goofy, chaotic dynamic. the found family aspect of it was so enjoyable and i'm definitely still planning on reading the first two books in the series.
