What happens when a happy-go-lucky guy’s luck takes a leap off a pier?
Answer: Six jillion weddings the same month I get dumped.
At least I’m not alone.
My best pal got the boot from her boyfriend, which is nuts.
Erika’s funny and hot in that I-can-fix-your-transmission way.
She’s too good for that guy.
Way too good for pity parties from my meddling twin.
Protecting us both means telling a little white lie.
A fake relationship gives us dates for gobs of giddy, small-town weddings.
Someone to laugh with over botched bouquets and risqué buffet spreads.
Someone who knows me better than anyone, which…okay, awkward.
I’ve got baggage, you know?
But fake dating Erika feels more fun than drag karaoke at my brewpub.
We’re just friends—nothing sexy between us.
Well, maybe once, but it’s part of the act, right?
I’m suddenly not sure what’s real anymore.
Because now that I know how perfect she feels in my arms,
our whole plan starts to unravel.
Then our exes throw us a curveball.
Before we know it, our make-believe love
careens on a collision course to genuine heartache.
One click this fake dating, friends-to-lovers romantic comedy with two small-town best friends falling head over heels for real.
Review:
Maybe my favorite of the series? Though it seems like each book does the impossible, being even better than the already really good one that came before, so that could all change with the next one…
Mason and Erika’s best friends-to-lovers, fake dating to get through all of these freaking weddings we have to go to/be in story was just so much fun to read from start to finish. Did they get a little too in their heads about the whole Hey! My BFF is actually really hot–who knew?–and the s3x is amazing, but we don’t want to RUIN THE FRIENDSHIP of it all? Sure. Was Erika’s eventual crash out a teensy bit predictable? Yeah, OK, maybe. But did that stop me from loving every second that I was reading this one? No, it did not. I laughed, I teared up, I may have even snort-laughed a bit unattractively more than once. I absofreakinglutely loved these two crazy kids, and couldn’t wait for them to get to their HEA.
But now I’ve got a problem–because the next book in the series, Move Me , which is excerpted at the end, won’t be out until January 2026? Why must you taunt me like this, Ms Fenske???
