Publisher's Summary

Luc O'Donnell is tangentially - and reluctantly - famous. His rock-star parents split when he was young, and the father he's never met spent the next 20 years cruising in and out of rehab. Now that his dad's making a comeback, Luc's back in the public eye, and one compromising photo is enough to ruin everything.

To clean up his image, Luc has to find a nice normal relationship...and Oliver Blackwood is as nice and normal as they come. He's a barrister, an ethical vegetarian, and someone who has never inspired a moment of scandal in his life. In other words, he’s perfect boyfriend material. Unfortunately, apart from being gay, single, and really really in need of a date for a big event, Luc and Oliver have nothing in common. So they strike a deal to be publicity-friendly (fake) boyfriends until the dust settles. Then they can go their separate ways and pretend it never happened.

But the thing about fake-dating is that it can feel a lot like real-dating. And that's when you get used to someone...start falling for them...don't ever want to let them go.

Featured Article: Best Romance Authors For a Little Love Into Your Life


You can never have enough romance in your life. If there isn't enough in the real world, there's always an entire history of romance novels to get lost in, from the Victorian stylings of Jane Austen (who doesn't dream of Mr. Darcy?) to contemporary romance authors like Talia Hibbert After all, who doesn't love a good swoon from time to time? You can't beat a good love story, and there are many reasons why television and cinema are filled with their adaptations.

Here’s hoping!!

I absolutely loved this book. I cannot remember the last time I laughed out loud so much while reading. Honestly if I could have scored the performance higher than five stars I would have, Joe Jameson is amazing, he’s spot on with all his (and there were many) accents!! It was the ‘perfect storm’ of audiobooks, a very funny story, relatable, lovable characters and a wonderful narrator!! I’ve just finished it for the second time and already know I’ll be going back to it again soon!! I hope Alexis Hall and Joe Jameson are paired together again very soon!!!

Loved This Book

The plot might seem really trope-y, but it’s executed in an interesting and innovative way. Thoroughly enjoyable and I was really sad when it was over. I wanted to live with these characters for a little while longer! Audiobook performance was masterful. Amazing character voices!

One of the best books I’ve “read” this s year

This was a wonderful book at times touching, laugh out loud funny, and with very likeable characters. The narrator did a fabulous job as well. I would definitely recommend this audiobook.

Dryer than a James bond martini and just as delici

I don't usually read first person stories I have trouble identifying or getting absorbed into the book,so I decided to try an audio book.Im so glad I did. This was a fabulous book. The narrator pulled me in far easier than I expected and the author gave me the chance to really root for this couple. As well as many LOL moments, witty dialogue and some moments I would usually consider to sacrine or cringe worthy were instead just overwhelmingly sweet because I was so invested in the characters. Really, really brilliant job.So much so I think I'll go listen to it again. 😁

Truly a Surprise

as a fan of Red White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston i was a little weary on starting this as it seemed fairly similar.
But i was surprised, both in how different it was but also in how much i adored this book.
Joe Jameson does a wonderful job at bringing all of Hall’s characters to life and the listening experience over all was very good
my only fault to this book is the abrupt ending, it left me wanting so much more
but overall, for a fantastically tropey and soft NA rom com, it’s everything you could want and more

Cute!

I Unfortunately found the main character unlikable, often behaving like a petulant child, whereas the rest of the characters were simple but charming. I definitely found myself laughing and greatly enjoyed the nods to pop culture

Outrageously Cute

Overall a fantastic read. A great take on the fake relationship turned real trope. Really felt for Luc, was a great character and POV throughout.
