No Rings Attached by Rachel Lacey

4.0

Which trope is better: fake dating, or hidden romance? When it comes to No Rings Attached, there’s no need to choose!

In the second installment of the Ms. Right series by Rachel Lacey, it’s Rosie’s best friends’ turn to fall in love! Lia is tired of being the fifth wheel in her apartment, and all of her family and friends seem to be falling in love around her this summer. Desperate for a plus one for her brother’s wedding in the UK, Lia caves to the suggestion of bringing Grace- Rosie’s mysterious close friend from high school- along for the ride. As much as Grace would prefer to deal with her own romance and family issues, she decides to agree with the outrageous plan of being the fake girlfriend of someone she’s never met. She’s already across the pond, so why not? It’s not like they’ll fall in love for real… right?

While this sapphic romance sounds like it would be short and sweet, it has everything! Road trips, secret crushes, family baggage, plot twists- you name it, it’s in there. Each chapter brings an additional subject to the story to keep the plot fresh but not overcrowded. There are also some salacious scenes throughout the journey- hey, it is a romance, after all!

I do feel the need to add that the ending was a bit outrageous. However, this did not ruin the book entirely, and I would still recommend reading it once it has been released. Please also note there are mentions of parental death, infidelity, and automobile accidents.

While it won’t be available until April 2022, the first installment of the Ms. Right series, Read Between The Lines is out now. If you’re a fan of LGBT Romances, get to reading so you’re ready for Lia and Grace’s story this spring!
