A faux summer fling seemed like the perfect solution . . . until they start falling in love for real.
Teacher Stella Marshall’s summer break has just began, but the gossip is already sizzling: Luke Keegan’s back in town! Stella’s high school crush is all grown up and smolderingly sexy. She might even consider a fling with the former Navy SEAL, if she hadn’t already sworn off all romantic entanglements. But there isn’t a single thing she can do to stop the rumor mill whispering about her and Luke being together—unless . . .
A showmance! Luke never thought he’d propose a fake relationship, but it’s the only way to stop the runaway speculation about their love lives. Pretending to date a woman as stunning as Stella is easy. Not actually falling for her is the hard part. Luke isn’t sure he deserves a hometown happy ending, when members of his SEAL team never made it back at all. But there’s real attraction buzzing between him and Stella . . . and he knows she feels it too. Could their faux summer romance lead to true love?
-summary and cover via Goodreads
Plot: I absolutely loved the first book in this authors Mistletoe, Maine series, so I knew this book was going to be a highly anticipated read for me. And when I read the summary and saw fake dating (my favorite trope) mentioned? Plus, it's set in summer, which is my favorite season. I was looking forward to this book so much! And I'm happy to write it did not disappoint. This was a lovely romance, with a perfect summer feel.
Characters: Stella and Luke were great main characters, and the supporting cast was wonderful. I loved the glimpses of characters from the first book!
The Cover: I love it!
Overall: Where are my Hallmark movies based in this series?!? They would be perfect for that. This was an absolutely wonderful romance that I highly recommend reading!
I received an e-ARC from the publisher.
