Ohh I love a good fake dating trope, and this book delivered it in spades. The first in a series, this book introduced us to a large family that is full of interesting characters. I honestly canāt wait to see them find their HEA. Brooke and Moss each had some heavy trauma going in, and had to work through it to be what each other needed. This had all the laughs and the spice that I have come to expect from Adriana, culminating in a great book.

Brooke hasnāt dated anyone since she left her ex husband. The problem is, her grandmotherās birthday is coming up and her ex is going to be thereā¦ on the arm of her aunt who is dating him now. After a social media snafu, she ended up telling her mother that she has a boyfriend. Now she just has to find someone willing to pretend long enough to survive that party.

This is the first book in the Carmichael Family series. Fun tropes here: fake dating & friends-to-lovers. Brookeās family, especially her mother, is horrible to her. In order to survive a birthday party for the only family member she gets along with - she devises a plan to get a fake boyfriend. Mossās family maneuvers it so that he ends up filling the role.
I love that Moss & Brooke were good friends and long time coworkers before they decided to āfake dateā. They are so cute together as friends that itās easy to see the transition into more. I also love Mossās family - his parents & brothers are a loving and fun bunch. Itās awesome to see Brooke supported by them all.
I liked that this was relatively low angst and a lot of fun. Iām looking forward to continuing the series.
Narration:
CJ Bloom and Lance Greenfield are great here. I enjoyed both of their performances.
I received a free copy of this audiobook from Home Cooked Books and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

This book was pretty good. It wasnāt what I was expecting. It seem like a good idea but I feel like the execution of it wasnāt great. It was good but not great. I liked the couple somewhat but there were points in the book that made no sense. Some chapters did not flow at all to the next one. For me itās a 3/5.
