The Holiday Trap

By Roan Parrish
The Holiday Trap by Roan Parrish digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

For fans of Alexandria Bellefleur and Casey McQuiston comes a charming, hilarious, and heartwarming LGBTQIA+ romcom about two separate couples finding love over the holidays from acclaimed author Roan Parrish!

FROM A COZY NEW ENGLAND HAVEN TO THE HEART OF NEW ORLEANS COMES ONE HOLIDAY THAT'LL CHANGE THEIR LIVES

Greta Russakoff loves her tight-knit family and tiny Maine hometown, but they can't seem to understand what it's like to be a lesbian living in such a small world. When an act of familial meddling goes way too far, she realizes just how desperately she needs space to figure out who she is.

Truman Belvedere's heart is crushed when he learns that his boyfriend has a secret life including a husband and daughter. Reeling, all he wants is a place to lick his wounds far, far away from Louisiana.

Enter a mutual friend with a life-altering idea: swap homes for the holidays. For one perfect month, Greta and Truman will have a chance to experience a whole new world…and maybe fall in love with the partner of their dreams. But all holidays must come to an end, and eventually these two transplants will have to decide whether the love (and found family) they each discovered so far from home is worth fighting for.

“A house swap holiday romance. Inspired by "The Holiday". Two couples - Truman and Ash (M/M), Greta and Cerys (F/F). Very insta love, especially with Greta and Cerys. There was a bit more build up with Ash and Truman and so I preferred that and had a harder time with Greta and Cerys. Small town vibes and found family, boundaries and choosing yourself/love. Greta's awkwardness was relatable at times but other times it was too cringey to handle tbh. Also there was so much that happened that were just left with no closure/answers and I hated that lol. Did not like Sadie but absolutely need to know what her deal is. It's a cute holiday romance but was kinda meh.”
Easy to read
Slightly Smiling Face“Quite loved this book! Highly recommend especially around winter holiday season. Tackles a lot of “what ifs” of young adults in life and had some really inspiring lines in regard to that. Really a feel good gay/lesbian romance. Most of the book is plot but there is certainly some spice here and there.”

About Roan Parrish

Roan Parrish lives in Philadelphia, where she is gradually attempting to write love stories in every genre.

When not writing, she can usually be found cutting her friends’ hair, meandering through whatever city she’s in while listening to torch songs and melodic death metal, or cooking overly elaborate meals. She loves bonfires, winter beaches, minor chord harmonies, and self-tattooing. One time she may or may not have baked a six-layer chocolate cake and then thrown it out the window in a fit of pique.
