ABOUT THE BOOK
Lexi Danby is looking for some no-strings, fall fun. Once a college track star, she was forced to drop out when her father passed away. Now she’s trying to make ends meet while putting herself through school and caring for her grieving mother. When her comically bad waitressing lands her directly in the path of a handsome, charming stranger named Will, Lexi may just have found the distraction she’s been looking for. Their first date looks promising until a misunderstanding at a party thrusts Lexi and Will into a fake engagement they can’t talk themselves out of. And Will turns out to be a member of Seattle royalty.
Will Grand is heir to a major company, and Seattle’s most eligible bachelor. But he’s been placed in charge of an important merger with a company that values family above all else, and needs to show them that he’s settled down. While a fake engagement is advantageous from a business standpoint, it’s not so great for a budding relationship with a woman who’s wary of commitment. With a woman who Will is beginning to care about much more than he could have anticipated.
As Lexi gets a taste of Will’s glamorous world and the pair keeps up the pretense of their fake engagement for the press, they decide to see where a more casual relationship takes them out of the spotlight. And amid apple picking in comfy flannels, outdoor breweries in the crisp air, and fun Halloween preparations, Lexi starts to realize the scariest part of the season might just be taking a chance on love.
MY REVIEW
You can’t help falling in love with this book! There’s nothing that makes me smile more than a love story with engaging writing, amazing characters, and a beautiful plot.
Lexi is trying to make ends meet while working two jobs and going to college, and Will is dealing with the pressures of the family business. When Lexi and Will make a deal to concoct a fake relationship to help each other out, in no time their attraction becomes much more than they bargained for.
Will and Lexi are an unlikely couple who are easy to like and root for. From the start, they have a comfortable companionship making each other laugh and championing their strengths through life’s ups and downs. Will is kind, charming, and intoxicating with his amazing compliments and breathless intimate moments that made my knees weak. Lexi’s imperfections and struggles add depth to her character, making her journey all the more compelling. Overall, their strengths and weaknesses complement each other, creating a balance that is a joy to witness.
Ms. Sullivan’s writing is superb from the adorable meet-cute to the slow-burn fake relationship where they actually take the time to get to know each other. Sullivan is also a master at creating engaging supporting characters who complemented the protagonists and connected with this reader.
I highly recommend this memorable heartwarming romantic story with an adorable couple, a beautiful setting in Seattle, and a delightful happy ever after.
Thank you to Ms. Sullivan for giving me the opportunity to read this book with no expectation of a positive review.
