About this eBook

A heart-warming, steamy holiday vacation romance that will leave your heart full.

Ten Reasons to Have a Holiday Fling…

That's either the title of a holiday listicle I'll be submitting in the hopes of strumming up extra cash…or it's the mental game I'm playing during après ski.

Take a guess. (Hint: You can't get it wrong.)

My first impression of the snowboarder balking at the top of the ski run wasn't the greatest. But a couple of drinks in, with his ruffled hair, whiskey eyes and southern twang, Oliver transforms from just another vacationer to sizzling dreamy Texan.

This is the year I'm supposed to turn my life around. This is the year I'm supposed to live my life for me. What better way to kickstart my new life than with a holiday fling?

Plus, it's my first Christmas without my family. And Oliver's alone at Christmas too. No one should be alone at Christmas, right? 

That's my logic. 

Those hot jingly nights keep us warm and toasty through my most unforgettable holiday ever.

And then it's goodbye. 

A sane, healthy, mature parting of ways and the kick off to the Year of Me.

But when an impulsive text rekindles the holiday spirit, it's clear the fireworks didn't end at New Year's…

Christmas magic abounds in this love story that begins as a carefree holiday fling and transforms in the New Year, through all the seasons, and winds up right up back on Christmas Tree Lane.

How to Survive a Holiday Fling is a steamy, standalone holiday romance novel written in dual first-person POV.

"Oooh, Isabel Jolie stole my heart with Oliver and Kate! Another absolutely wonderful Holiday Novel and this one gave me a lot of yearning and angst for both main characters...The side characters, especially the Duke family, Sandra, and Noah, are WONDERFUL!! The ranch and the Tetons seem to be their own characters, and really they should be - they're so vast and they take up so much space and love in the book, Ms. Jolie knows how to give them their true meaning in life, the land really can have that kind of impact on people.... Five out of five stars for a book filled to the brim with love, angst, and so much emotion, it left my heart full." -Bex Book Revieux

"Hot without being dirty. Ridiculously sweet without being cliche. Trust me, whatever you think you know about romance, Isabel Jolie is at least 10 steps above that, and she surprised me at every turn. Oliver is rugged, in control, and ultra-masculine, but he's also man enough to let Kate make her own decisions and support her while she makes them. And Kate is a delightful mix between fierce and vulnerable, but those vulnerabilities never stop her from fighting for what she wants, and never backing down from anything.

How To Survive A Holiday Fling is a must read, written by an author who truly has an instinctual and impressive grasp on both the genre and the human heart!" -International Review of Books

Ratings and reviews

I loved Kate and Oliver's story. She loved the snow and being in Wyoming and he loved being a rancher on his family's farm in Texas. They met one Christmas when Oliver and his family were supposed to meet in Wyoming 481 week family ski trip, but his family never made it. They headed off really well they thought they could just go their separate ways. They're hot s wanted something else and check out early and that ended up finding their happily ever after together. I highly recommend this book. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This was an interesting story! While the story starts off with a sexy holiday fling, it still gives off the feeling of a slow burn. Time passes and it really helps the two grow together and realize they are meant for each other! This is not an insta-love story, Oliver and Kate, while having amazing chemistry right away, they take their time staying in touch and have a sort of long distance relationship. They grow together and it is wonderful!

From fling to forever: I enjoyed this sweet yet spicy romance story and thought there was a good mix of dialogue and action. Kate and Oliver didn't have an easy go of things as they faced plenty of obstacles whilst trying to navigate their life paths and their long distance relationship. I enjoyed seeing their internal turmoil and the questions and struggles they had made their relationship feel oh so relatable. All in all a great holiday book that could be enjoyed year round.
