Review Tour: Hashtag Holidate: Lucy Lennox
I came to Legacy, Montana, to sell a fantasy—twelve Insta-ready #Holidates of Christmas. One career-making brand deal. Zero drama.
Then my videographer bailed, and in walked Maddox Sullivan.
Grumpy. Gorgeous. Growly. A mountain man with zero chill and even less tolerance for influencers like me. He agrees to film my content—off-camera only—but when my first date cancels, guess who ends up in front of the lens?
Cue the fireworks.
Our chemistry is instant. My followers are obsessed. #TeamMaddrian starts trending. Suddenly, all my dates are mysteriously dropping out, and Maddox is reluctantly starring in every single holidate—sleigh rides, snowball fights, cocoa by the fire, kisses under the mistletoe.
And I… I’m starting to forget this was ever supposed to be pretend.
Because every time Maddox looks at me, I feel something real. Something lasting. Something terrifying.
I came here for curated content. Now I’m dreaming of a life I never thought I wanted—with a man I never saw coming.
But am I falling for the picture-perfect holiday fantasy? Or could this be the start of my real-life happily ever after?
Adrian Hayes ia a luxury influencer whose curated posts have gone a bit stale and he is branching out for a new brand deal with luxury winter wear but focusing on small town, rustic, magic charm of the holidays content. So he has come to Legacy, Montana to capture twelve insta-ready holidates of Christmas. And he needs a videographer.
Turns out the talented videographer he wants is playing hard to get, but he finally wins Maddox Sullivan over. He is a grumpy, growly, rugged, confident, gorgeous mountain man. He is opinionated, stubborn, and allergic to social media. He believes in real moments not manufactured ones, but he agrees to find Adrian twelve dates with twelve Legacy men and film them. As long as he gets to set the rules.
Adrian is used to having to be perfect and live a curated life. He is constantly looking to achieve more to be successful. He has never really been just accepted or chosen for who he really is.
But when the nosy townsfolk get involved, nothing seems to go as planned. Maddox has to step in for the first date and has no idea it would set off a social media frenzy and a ship hashtag #Maddrian. Adrian is developing a lumberjack kink and Maddox is starting to surrender and let his wall down.
The more time they spend together, the more their fussing and flirting turns to foreplay, friskiness, and unexpected feelings.
This is a story of opposites attracting.
Pretty vs. Grumpy.
Manufactured vs. Real.
Pretty vs. Grumpy.
Manufactured vs. Real.
Luxury vs. Rustic.
Fashionista vs. Lumberjack.
City vs. Smal Town.
But it's also about trust, companionship, friendship, and finding a true home. It's funny, witty, sweet, swoony, passionate, and such a heartfelt holiday read. I absolutely loved these two together. They had such witty rapport and barbs, and amazing chemistry. I loved seeing them deal with the town shenanigans and while facing their own feelings, fears, and trying to figure out what they really wanted. I enjoyed more with some familiar friends and I am looking forward to more in Legacy.

After enjoying creative writing as a child, Lucy didn’t write her first novel until she was over 40 years old. Her debut novel, Borrowing Blue, was published in the autumn of 2016. Lucy has an English Literature degree from Vanderbilt University, but that doesn’t hold a candle to the years and years of staying up all night reading tantalizing novels on her own. She has three children, plays tennis, and hates folding laundry. While her husband is no shmoopy romance hero, he is very good at math, cooks a mean lasagne, has gorgeous eyes, looks hot in his business clothes, and makes her laugh every single day.
Lucy hopes you enjoy sexy heroes as much as she does. Happy reading!
