A groomsman and his last-minute guest are about to discover if a fake date can go the distance in a fun and flirty debut novel.
Agreeing to go to a wedding with a guy she gets stuck with in an elevator is something Alexa Monroe wouldn’t normally do. But there’s something about Drew Nichols that’s too hard to resist.
On the eve of his ex’s wedding festivities, Drew is minus a plus one. Until a power outage strands him with the perfect candidate for a fake girlfriend…
After Alexa and Drew have more fun than they ever thought possible, Drew has to fly back to Los Angeles and his job as a pediatric surgeon, and Alexa heads home to Berkeley, where she’s the mayor’s chief of staff. Too bad they can’t stop thinking about the other…
They’re just two high-powered professionals on a collision course toward the long distance dating disaster of the century–or closing the gap between what they think they need and what they truly want…
I usually stick to Young Adult Contemporary but I have decided to take a small step out of my comfort zone towards Adult and I am happy I have done that. This book was one of the best ones I have read in awhile. The cast of characters were fun and the plot was unique. We have diverse characters, some of them being Alexa who is a Black woman and Carlos who is Hispanic man.
Alexa was one of the best characters in my opinion we got to hear about things I never thought of before. One of them being arts for at risk youth, I loved reading her passion and drive. We hear Alexa’s thoughts about her body shape and size, making me relate to her and insecurities. I loved getting to know her friends and her sister, we got to really know her world.
Drew was harder to like. I felt like he had to truly prove himself and once he did, I was head over heels in love with him too. He is caring and the connection he makes with patients that he works with is so admirable. I loved getting to know his best friend Carlos, he keeps Drew grounded and I love how he bonded with Alexa.
We got to see both views of the story, Alexa and Drew’s which helped make the story even more enjoyable. I really loved this book so much.
This book was funny, meaningful, sexy and smart. I really recommend this to people looking for a fun and diverse read.
