I didn't find Jane, the female lead character, to be very likeable or relatable at first, but her relationship with the male lead character, Ian, really humanized her. She was so snobby and focused on all of the wrong things until he came along and shook up her world.
On the other hand, I really liked Ian immediately. He seemed like a good-hearted guy who was down on his luck after having given up his chance at college to help support his family. I loved that Ian had such a happy, positive outlook on life despite his situation, and he definitely deserved to have good things happen for him.
Overall, this was a nice, quick read that did a good job of getting me into the Christmas spirit, and I would recommend it.

About "Holiday for Hire"
After Jane Osborne is unceremoniously dumped by a rich man, and then invited to his Christmas Eve wedding, she decides to hire a date from Craigslist and pass him off as an upgrade.
Fake-boyfriend for hire Ian Brooks ends up being a delightful surprise—and a mysterious stranger she's definitely met before.
Could he be her Christmas wish come true?
