Mae is the only librarian left in her small hometown of Two Harts. She also works a second job at a diner to help pay for her mother’s medical bills.
One day in the library she comes across a sleeping guy, who turns out to be NFL player Chris Sterns who is escaping a photo scandal of him in Las Vegas with a scantily clad woman.
Wanting the story to go away, his PR team suggests another one to distract – that Chris gets engaged. And Mae seems like perfect fake fiancee material.
This was an adorable romance with some revenge pranks, a bit of blackmail and plenty of cheesy pick-up lines. The chemistry and banter between Mae and Chris totally worked.
Perci’s in the dentist’s chair when she hears her boyfriend, Brent, dump her on a radio show.
With Perci’s mother always making her feel inadequate, particularly around her weight, she pretends her neighbour Nate is her new boyfriend.
Meanwhile her best friend, Mathias, has a crush on her sister Phee but she’s dating pompous news anchor Joel.
This was a witty and refreshing read as Perci learns to stand up for herself, especially where her mother is concerned.
With a highly relatable heroine, an amiable love interest, and a message of self-empowerment, this story is a pure delight from the first page. Grandmother Mimi’s pithy sayings at the start of each chapter are a highlight.
