3.5 stars!
this was a quick and fun to read cheesy rom-com, which i enjoyed! their meet cute might have been a tad unrealistic, but the main characters definitely had chemistry and funny banter. there is fake dating and the classic "only one bed so we can share as friends, right?" trope, which i adore both of so much. i think the main thing that took away from enjoyment was the pacing of the first half, and just a few minor things.

if you're looking for a fun adult romance with fade-to-black sex scenes, i think this is a good choice!

I didn't have high expectations for this book - I just liked the cover and thought the premise sounded like a fun little escape after a couple of "meh" books this month. I only finished it because I had DNF'd two books in the same week, something I rarely do. But after trudging my way through the whole thing, all I was left with was regret.
It's a classic rom-com trope: Sarah lands in Key West ready to introduce her boyfriend on her family vacation - until he bails on her at the last minute. The purpose of the vacation is to celebrate Sarah's mom's victory over cancer, and to keep her as stress-free as possible, so Sarah doesn't want her boyfriend's absence to give them reason to think her life is still a mess that she can't handle. Enter: Luis, the sexy local fireman who just happens to witness Sarah's breakup. She "hires" him to be her fake boyfriend for a week, and guess what? They end up falling for each other.
I was expecting cheesy-but-cute "Holiday in Handcuffs" vibes, but what I got was a Harlequin novel about millennials - with some atrocious writing. The characters themselves were cute, but the dialogue was terrible, and the buildup of their sexual tension was made up of some of the most awkward sentences I've ever read in my life. Honestly, the best thing I can say for this book was that it transported me back to a couple fun Florida vacations I've had myself - nothing to do with the actual book.
Thank you to the publisher for my advanced copy.

This book had me really wanting to visit Key West! I enjoyed the use of Spanish language throughout too. It was always followed with a translation for those who are not Spanish speaking. One thing I didn’t love is the supposed ‘big rift’ between the main character and his brother. It was resolved in a very short exchange between the two. Like a few sentences and it was over. Lol maybe it’s because they are men not women. Overall a cute chick-lit that was easy enough to read quickly. No immediate plans to read the next in this series though.
