Publisher's Summary

Sometimes what starts out as fake can get all too real.  

Things started out innocently enough. Put on the spot by my sister about going on a blind date, I mention I'm already dating someone else. But then she wants to meet him. Better yet, she wants me to bring him to our upcoming family gathering so he can meet everyone. Which would be a fantastic idea if he wasn't a complete work of fiction.  

My best friend, Julian, suggests I bring a fake date, and it sounds like a good plan. What could go wrong? We'll go home, spend the weekend with my family, and they'll stop setting me up on blind dates. No one gets hurt and no one has to know. Easy peasy, right?  

But then there's Jackson. And it's no coincidence that his last name is Sparks.  

Maybe one day I'll learn that listening to Julian is always a recipe for disaster. Someday I'll remember that he talks faster than he thinks, and any idea out of his mouth is probably a bad one. Until then, let me explain how I got into this mess. My name is Avery Jane, and I'm about to show you what happens when a fake relationship gets all too real.

Smart banter in this cute romance!

Recovering from a cheating boyfriend, AJ is not in the mood to be set up at a family event so she brings Jackson, the brother of her best friend, as a fake date. While AJ is happy with the pretence, Jackson seems to want more. I’ve loved all of SE Harmon’s m/m romances so was happy to give this m/f romance a go. There’s lots to love: smart banter, cute situations, and amusing family interactions. While I got a bit frustrated with AJ’s reluctance to take the relationship further, I could understand it, but sometimes love requires taking a chance. AJ, Jackson, and their family members were well-written characters and I loved the night the siblings all got drunk. I was really impressed with Marnye Young’s audio narration, she had the characters and the banter down to a fine art.

Promising start

The first half was great. The second half dragged out a bit, could have been 2/3 the length
