Publisher's summary

This is a kisses only, sweet romance.

A movie star, a grump next door and a dating experiment gone awry. My brother’s best friend has always been a gorgeous thorn in my side. He’s the famous Sean O’Connell, rom-com celebrity, owner of a smile that can melt even the coldest of hearts.

My new next-door neighbor is not the man of my dreams.

He’s one of the happiest people I’ve ever met, and to be honest, it’s annoying. I don’t have to be happy or like people. I’m good, thank you very much.

But Sean thinks I need to be happy, and that means being in a relationship. He’s recruited my best friend and my brother to put the “Get Jessica A Man” plan into action.

A makeover and some speed dating were absolutely not on my social calendar. But there’s no stopping him once his minds made up.

As Sean’s sunny disposition starts to rub off on me, I feel myself falling. But for the wrong guy.

Is it possible the thorn in my side is actually the rose I’ve been longing for?

Rom-Com Movie Star vs Thriller Author

I absolutely LOVED this story! Battled to put it down... Even on my Audiobook Re-read...

Sean is an incredible character, and Jessica was loads of fun as well. Zach Young does a brilliant job bringing Sean to life. He really brings across Sean's sunshine character. Lexi Balter also did a great job, but may have been a bit too sunshine for Jessica's grumpy character.

I loved their connection and banter, and how they each knew how they felt about the other, but didn't want to act on it, or even acknowledge it, even though everyone around them could see it.

I feel bad for Rick though. lol... And I hope we get to see what happens for Jamie and Evie in future books for this series...

Reread Worthy

This was such a fun read. The fake dating was hilarious & envious. Normally I would rate this 4 stars cause it was a great story, with some predictable character plots but the traditionalism & display for chivalry & insisting on the chivalry won my heart. My father raised me with how a man is supposed to treat a woman. And sad chivalry in today’s world is hard to find. I will absolutely love to read this again!!

Falling for my brother's friend

This is a cute romantic comedy between friends. I liked that one is a Hollywood star and the other the best friend's sister, who has always loved him. I found myself laughing outload and when I got to the happy ending thinking aww.

A sweet clean love story

I really, really enjoyed this story of Sean and Jessica’s road to finding happiness.
Growing up together their relationship became very competitive, with lots of banter and with them regularly getting annoyed with each other.
I enjoyed that in this story the woman was the grumpy one and the man the happy one, doing everything he could to find her a man.
Things get complicated when feelings get in the way and neither will admit just how they feel.
Will they be brave enough to open up and reveal all?
This is my first time reading one of Abby’s stories, which I really loved.
I’ll be definitely wanting to know what happens in the rest of the series to Liam, Jamie and Evie.
I own the ebook but listened to the audiobook and liked the narration by Zach Young and Lexi Balter.

Sweet RomCom

This is an amazingly sweet story. Wonderful characters and the storyline is sweet and fun. I couldn't put it down once I started. I couldn't stop smiling and giggling. Highly recommend.

No, Don't Date Your Bros BFF. Yes, Listen to This

This review includes a summary of the narrators. The male narrator, Zach Young, always sounds like something is stuck in his nose or throat. He does a great job with expression and inflection, but I always get caught up in his weird sound. The female narrator, Lexi Balter, is good. She is a solid 4 stars.

Fake Dating

Meet Sean and Jessica in this "kisses only" book. Sean is a Hollywood sweetheart who needs a media break from his celebrity life. When his agent says he needs time out of the spotlight, the calls up his BFF and decides to spend the next few weeks in his home town. Once there, his first stop is to his sister's shop, Bake My Day, where he surprises his sister and her BFF, Jessica. Sparks fly with their barbing of one another and a plot to enhance Jessica's dating life is hatched.

I loved watching Sean discover how much he loved Jessica. He knew there were un-familiar feelings there, but didn't know what they were exactly. The story building up to him realizing that he loved her was great. Sub-characters are plotting their own stories and I am so there for them!.

Thank you for the audio file, this is my honest opinion.

Awesome listen.

I absolutely loved this story. I listened to this story straight through. I was glued to it, I couldn't wait to see what happened next. Y'all are gonna love it too.

Great sweet story

This is a charming tale. I loved the characters and the storyline was entertaining. I really enjoyed listening to this book.
