"Don’t be. It’s not your fault that you tilt my equilibrium off its axis. Every day, I try to figure out how I’m going to handle it. I’m not like you. I like spreadsheets and SWOT analyses. Every day, I fight my instincts."

EXTRA!! EXTRA!! READ ALL ABOUT IT!! 
I'm back once again to say, I LOVE fake dating. 

This book follows Jada, a scorned reality tv star, and Donovan, a cupcake baking football star, as they discover all the ingredients for love. Jada was on a dating show (similar to the bachelor) and turned down the proposal at the end, which has made her the public's biggest enemy. But soon she finds herself working at a cupcake shop and embroiled in a fake relationship with the owner. Donovan is a professional football star taking a chance to start us own business because he's passionate about baking. Due to lack of success with his business, when the opportunity arises to earn some extra publicity, he takes it. 

Overall, I enjoyed this story. Personally, it's a four instead of a five because it felt like there was this big lead up to them getting to the fake dating, and then once there they started for real dating in like 0.2 seconds. However, I do think it's super cute and the relationship worked well.
