Fake dating romances can be a lot of fun and this one certainly was just that!

I liked Mackenzie and Noah. They made a great pair. As they spend time together, they find that the attraction between them isn’t fake at all. I thought that the chemistry between them was very well done. The story itself is easy going and sweet. It follows a lot of the fun aspects of contemporary rom-coms set in fake dating scenarios and the comfort in that had me smiling and kicking my feet up. 

This was my first read by Lana Ferguson and I can’t wait to read more of her books. This book was a sweet and spicy fast burn and I enjoyed every second of this read. Highly recommend if you like grumpy/sunshine, fake dating tropes.
