Publisher's summary

I didn’t mean to say I was engaged to a hot billionaire–it just slipped out.

In my defense, I’d had a really bad haircut, a really strong drink, and I was trying to save face in front of the Mean Girl at my high school reunion.

Lucky for me, I happen to know a hot billionaire. Hutton French and I have been friends forever, and even though big social gatherings are not his thing, I called him from the coat closet and begged him for a favor–show up and play my fake fiancé for the night.

Except that word of our engagement spreads like wildfire. Our families are ecstatic. We’re front page news. My little food blog is launched into the stratosphere.

Of course, I offer to set the record straight right away, but Hutton wants to give it a little time–the phony engagement will keep his matrimony-mad mother and every matchmaking granny in town off his back.

He even suggests I move in with him to make the ruse more real.

And we don’t stop there.

We practice kissing. Undressing each other. Saying things–and doing things–we’d never dare if we weren’t pretending. Because it’s all for show, right? We’re just role-playing. Hutton doesn’t want a real relationship, and I don’t want to get hurt. But the more time we spend faking it, the more I start to wonder.

Could Hutton French and I actually be right for each other, or is it all just one big tease?

Tease ❤️

Melanie Harlow writes the most amazing stories!! Ones that have all the feels and so much more!!

Enjoyable listen!

Felicity McAllister and Hutton French have been best friends since middle school. She attends their ten-year high school reunion and finds herself trying to impress the mean girl. She tells an outrageous lie about marrying a billionaire (Hutton) and begs Hutton to help her out to save face.

I love how they decided to keep the fake engagement going and both of their families didn't even question it. They knew the two were meant to be together. (Why didn't Felicity and Hutton realize this?)

Hutton has social anxiety. He doesn't like crowds, talking on the telephone and has OC tendencies. Felicity is awkward and adorable. As best friends growing up, they both had feelings for each other, but never acted on it. Now, as adults, it is easier to try a relationship when they both think it's fake for the other person.

I really enjoyed this small town, fake fiancée, friends to lovers romance. I listened to the audiobook and both the narrators were really good.

A love story through the ages

Since middle school these two have loved each other. It takes overcoming each of their own obstacles to be able to finally admit their love. I really liked this story. The characters were relatable. Their love may not be perfect but it’s very romantic, sexual and real.
Good narration.

Enjoyable lighthearted romance!

Amazing story

I couldn’t get enough of these two imperfect people. I so enjoyed listening to this book and would definitely recommend this book. The narrators was so in tone with ether other

My favorite

This is my favorite book in the series! She does a great job making you feel like you’re right there with all her details.

Fake engagement!!!

Loved this best friends turned to fake engaged.

The FMC has loose lips and when she gets nervous she spins wild tales and she got herself into it with wanting to one up a high school classmate and she got her best guy friend into her tale. Super sweet and cute listen.

loved

loved it loved the story and how they read it with such emotions they did amazing and come on its Melanie Harlow so the storyline just bomb

Friends to Lovers!!

This was a great story! Low drama, not no drama, but low on the not needed only to make the story more overly dramatic drama - which is how I like it best … just enough drama. I love a friends to lovers story. Nothing like two really good friends falling into something more - isn’t that what we should all hope for!?!? I did whyspersync and what was good too. Narrators were both great. This is the only book from the series I have read - I may go back and read more - but I did not feel like I was missing anything by not have read them ahead of time.
