Pretend You're Mine by Lucy Score
5.0
*small town romance
*fake dating
*one bed
*close proximity (esp. in the kitchen *ahem*)
*hero in the National Guard
Lucy Score’s classic “Pretend You’re Mine” is a real page-turner. Set in the beloved small town of Benevolence, the story kicks off with Harper’s arrival as the town’s newest resident, catching the eye of Luke. Their encounter begins when Luke steps in to assist Harper during a tense situation, where she stands up to a verbally and physically abusive man. Luke is immediately struck by Harper’s beauty, strength, and complexity.
Luke offers his place as a temporary home and helps her retrieve her belongings from her ex-boyfriend’s place. In return, Luke proposes a unique arrangement: he asks Harper to pose as his fake girlfriend to deter his family’s meddling with other potential matches, until he leaves for a six-month deployment.
As comical as it may seem to label their relationship as “temporary” and “fake,” the evolution of their friendship and genuine affection proves anything but. As Luke and Harper gradually find a home in the form of each other, they also face the challenges of past tragedy and loss but also the promises of hope and love.
I loved Luke and Harper. They are a sweet ’n’ spicy couple I couldn’t get enough of them. There certainly was no holding back with their steamy scenes. The town of Benevolence is a characteristic Lucy Score book. It’s the perfect beginning
of a series I’m looking forward to continue. It is now one of my favourite Lucy books.
