A cute fake-dating bilingual romcom.
Free spirit Solange Perreira can't stay still. She's constantly on the move, looking for adventure and her eventual place in the world. Currently she's working as an adult educator for a nonprofit academy to complete her graduate program while getting ready to move across the country at summer's end. This is when she agrees to help her cousin, a wedding planner, to play makeup assistant for the bride. Strait-laced Dean Chapman is getting married, though it's not for love. After overhearing a concerning conversation between the bride and the man she declared her love for, Solange decides to save Dean from a loveless marriage, not knowing it was a modern-day marriage of convenience. Dean's plans thwarted and in need of a serious relationship so he can be promoted for partner, he ropes Solange into a fake-dating scheme to improve his career prospects. However, Dean's anti-love beliefs are challenged when Solange slowly wiggles her way into his heart.
This book has romance, comedy, cheesiness, and family. The Perreira family is amazing and so wholesome. I love the Tias so much! This book was a bit cringey, but I did find it funny and cute. I cannot see a group of adult humans believing for one second that Dean was in a serious relationship so soon after his wedding was crashed. I wish there was a little more time in between the wedding and this fake relationship so I could believe the firm was so accepting of the relationship.
I love the Brazilian representation and that there wasn't an over explanation of what was said in Portuguese or the cuisine. I simultaneously wished I had a family like the Perreira family, while being glad I didn't have a bunch of meddling family members.
Should I mention the sex party? Cause that was the most out-of-pocket thing I've ever read in a romance novel.
I'll definitely have to check out the other book in this series.
