  Blurb: 

  My name is Carter Sheppard and I actually like Christmas and my Christmas-themed hometown of Reindeer Falls. In fact, when I learn I have to return home in order to collect an inheritance—my uncle’s dog—it puts life into perspective for me.   Sure, playing professional baseball is great. But it won’t last forever and every player needs a long-term game plan.   And I just found mine. Wrapped up in the feisty, bespectacled package of the town librarian.   Unfortunately, she thinks I’m a player in all aspects of the word, but I’ve got a plan to win her over. Starting with a fake engagement…  


Review:

3.5-3.75 stars
***

This was a super cute ending to this "trilogy" within this series. Books four, five and six of the Reindeer Falls series were released this year and are romances between three ladies who are best friends and the three Shephard brothers who are visiting for the holiday season after the death of their uncle. In this book, The Bachelor on the Shelf is Lexi and Carter's story. Lexi is a librarian who loves her elderly neighbor Joe's dog, Rudy, and when he dies she hopes to inherit him. Instead Rudy is left to Joe's nephew, Carter Shephard. Carter is a professional baseball player with a bad reputation as a playboy. He is wanting to get a big endorsement deal, so he has to clean up his act and appear to be settled down. Lexi had a crush on Carter in high school, but he had no idea who she was. Now, Carter sees that Lexi wants Rudy and decides to offer a trade. She will pretend to be his fiance and fake it for the press while Carter is visiting Reindeer Falls, in exchange for him giving her the dog. Of course, pretending to be engaged starts to feel very not-pretend and romance ensues.

I wasn't sure about this book at first. I'm not a big fan of enemies to lovers and this story starts off that way. Carter is kind of a jerk to Lexi and though she doesn't like him after he acts like that to her, she acts kind of silly about how attracted she is to him. There was a lot of talk of chemistry but I didn't really feel it. Still, at a point, Carter (somewhat abruptly) starts to be a nice guy and true feelings develop between them. They grew on me as characters and as a couple, becoming sweeter together as the book went on. I ended up liking them and finding them to be a cute couple. Plus, there was no big break up to get over, which is a plus in my book.

Overall, I enjoyed The Bachelor on the Shelf. Carter and Lexi made a good match in the end. He proves himself to be a good guy. I was glad to see all three couples happy with plans for the future in the epilogue. I have enjoyed this fun Christmas themed series and it has definitely put me in the Holiday spirit. I hope Ms. Aston continues this series every year as it is tons of fun!
