Thanks to Berkley and PRHAudio for the ARC!
I had the pleasure of both reading and listening to this book during my drive to Colorado, and it was a delightful experience. I'm a sucker for a good fake dating trope, especially when it involves the "he falls first" dynamic.
Vincent Rogers, a real astronaut, swoops into Amerie's life with an offer she can't refuse. He suggests she play the role of his doting partner for three months leading up to his big mission. In exchange, she gets a rent-free spot in his house to help her struggling business. But what starts as a simple arrangement gets real complicated real quick when Amerie starts catching feelings for Vincent's irresistible charm. We all know fake dating will lead to more!
This book is a heartwarming tale of love, risk, and seizing opportunities. Etta Easton weaves a captivating story filled with humor, romance, and genuine emotion, making it a delightful read for fans of the genre. I particularly appreciated how the book tackles tough topics such as sickle cell, family loss, and healing, which added depth and resonance to the story.
