A nice easy reading LGBT, fake dating romance. Elle and Darcy are opposites, Elle believing in cosmology and true love, and Darcy is no nonsense and closed off to love. After a disastrous first date they begin to fake date to appease their families. 

I loved the story but the writing style meant I never really felt attached fully to the characters, and at times their actions seemed a little out of character and almost stereotypical at the same time. 

There is a lot about emotion unavailablility and being loved for who you are which was my favourite parts of this book. 

"Before this moment, she'd never realised what a lonely job it was, protecting a fragile heart".

The steam was great and I would recommend, but it's not earth shatteringly good.
