The Almost Romantic by Lauren Blakely was fantastic!! If you like single dad, fake engagement, most romantic fake proposal ever, marriage of convenience, my wife, found family, former pro athlete, starts with a bang, possessive hero stories to then you will love this book.
Elodie is raising her little sister after her parents passed away. She followed her dream and opened a chocolate shop.
Gage is a single father after his wife passed away suddenly. He is a formal professional baseball player whose career ended after an injury, he now owns a bar.
Elodie stops by the bar to grab takeout at where they lock eyes . Gage ends up getting one of Elodie's special deliveries at his bar, he sees this opportunity to return it and invite her out for a night of fun. On their date an opportunity for a pop up arises they cannot walk away from…they only catch the owner thinks they are married.
I laughed so much in this book while falling in love with every character. That marriage proposal was so swoon worthy. I loved the story line and she wrote the characters so well. I cannot recommend this book enough. I was given this book as an ARC in exchange for my honest thoughts and opinions.
