# Most Eligible scrooge by Elodie NOW
# Most Eligible Scrooge is the perfect Christmas steamy romantic comedy for you if you love Hallmark movies and romcoms with, um, the door open (aka it’s getting “hot” in Swans Cove).
Of all the PR stunts, fake-dating my brother’s best friend, Mr. Sizzling Hot Grumpy? This holiday season, love’s clearly on the naughty list. Right?
Fake-dating my brother’s grumpy best friend aka my once-upon-a-time high school crush? Definitely not on my Christmas list. Especially after he played Grinch with my heart last Christmas Eve. But when a scandalous video of me sneaking into his luxury hotel in just a teddy with Dasher the Cat in my arms goes viral, we’ve got no choice: turn him from the “Most Eligible Scrooge” to “Mr. Fixer-Upper Heartthrob” and save my PR gig.
Sure, Landon knows all my buttons (annoyingly well) and has this maddening way of making me swoon all over again, but we’ve got ground rules. Top of the list? No falling in love. Even if we get stranded in the most romantic small-town renovating a house for the holidays.
Dear Santa, it’s me, Julie. if you’re listening: grant me this one wish and I’ll toss in some extra cookies. And carrots for the reindeer, of course.
# Most Eligible Scrooge is the perfect steamy romantic comedy for you if you enjoy:
Brother’s Best Friend trope;
Holiday romcoms;
Fake Dating;

Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need to read Once Upon a Christmas Eve before # Most Eligible Scrooge?
Nope! Most Eligible Scrooge stands fully on its own. That said, Once Upon a Christmas Eve is the prequel novella that shows the Christmas Eve heartbreak Julie keeps (grumpily) bringing up …so if you like a little extra backstory before the fake-dating chaos, read it first. If you’d rather dive straight into the swooning, you won’t be lost. - Do I need to read the Love in Swans Cove books in order?
Not at all. Every Swans Cove book is a standalone with its own couple and its own happily-ever-after. Reading in order just means you’ll catch fun cameos and recognize faces from the other books.
Suggested order if you want it:
– Once Upon a Christmas Eve (prequel)
– # Most Eligible Scrooge
– # The Leftover Bride
– # Sweets For Love
– # My Christmas Wish List - Is # Most Eligible Scrooge a standalone?
Yes. It’s Julie and Landon’s complete story, start to finish, HEA guaranteed. No cliffhangers. - How steamy is # Most Eligible Scrooge?
Think Hallmark movie with the door, um, wide open. It’s a fun, swoony romcom with on-page open-door spice. - What tropes are in Most Eligible Scrooge?
Brother’s best friend, fake dating, grumpy/sunshine, second-chance crush, forced proximity (one renovation, two people with very firm “no falling in love” rules), small-town holiday romance, and a billionaire grump who needs a serious image makeover. - Is there a cat? (Asking for a friend.)
There is. Dasher the Cat is a co-conspirator. There are always pets. - Where can I read it for free?
