This book was so freaking adorable! It’s the perfect grumpy sunshine book with fiery banter (pun intended) fantastic chemistry, & a sweet love story between people who thought love was not for them. It’s the third book in the series, but can be read as a stand alone.

This book is so adorable! I love the fake dating trope, and this one is done very well. Fable works as a creative in marketing for Wilder’s company. She’s funny, cheery, sunny, goes out of her way for her friends and is an overall delight. He’s a serious billionaire single dad that likes order and being in charge. The two have mutual friends and are the best man/maid of honor for their friend’s wedding. Fable needs a date for the wedding to show her cheating ex-boyfriend that she’s fine. Wilder needs a date to get his overbearing, matchmaking aunt to back off setting him up. They decide to fake date for the wedding, and the week of fun and games in the small town where the wedding will be held. No problem. They’re friends. It’s only a week. They can fake it, right? Right.

This is my first Jill Shalvis book but I’ve already started checking out her backlog catalog of books on KU to read. The book is so sweet and the characters so lovable and witty they draw you in and make you thoroughly invested in them getting their HEA. Penny and Ryder have their own reasons for saying “no thank you” to love, so the last thing either of them expected was to feel so drawn to each other. They both are unexpected caregivers to family and while Penny is happy to do it and Ryder does it out of a sense of obligation, the push and pull of so much responsibility gives them plenty of things in common.
