I’ve known Ragnhild since she was a blue-eyed preschooler with a halo of red hair and chubby fingers clutched in mine.

Eighteen years later she’s still my best friend and her ideas are as crazy as they were then.

When she stages a wedding to make her co-worker jealous, there isn’t enough coffee and smultringer in the world to convince me to help some random guy steal my best friend’s heart.

But there is a girl.

A girl with red hair that calls to my hands and a smile that makes my heart feel light and buoyant. A girl I can’t say no to—even as she asks me to play the pretend groom in her make-believe wedding.

But as gingersnap hearts are hung in the windows of the old farmhouse and Christmas Eve draws nearer, I’m not so sure I can do it.

Because while this upcoming wedding is fake, my feelings for Ragnhild are very, very real. And as long as the sizzling chemistry between us rivals the heat of the Jøtul stove in the house, I’m nowhere near ready to give up.

The Norwegian Christmas Marriage Plot is a sweet romantic comedy with all the chemistry, none of the spice, and a host of Norwegian Christmas food and traditions at the center. It rates a 3 or 4 on the RCRS scale.
