Three of my favorite tropes—fake dating, second chance, and enemies to lovers—came together in this fun and steamy novella. How could I pass this up?
Liam is a personal trainer who dreams of opening a gym for people recovering from injury or illness. In order to make the money he needs, he has started working for an elite agency that provides dating and personal services for wealthy people.
When he gets a last-minute job to fly to Hawaii and pretend to be a CEO’s boyfriend for a week, he jumps at the chance. But when he arrives at the airport he gets an unpleasant shock: the CEO is Matthew, his childhood nemesis.
Matthew is proud to be the CEO of his own tech company. But when he is goaded into turning their corporate retreat into a trip for his employees’ significant others as well, he is thrown for a loop. Hiring someone to pretend to be his boyfriend is bad enough; discovering that Liam will be his fake boyfriend is even worse.
“In all my panicking and thinking through the worst-case scenarios for hiring a fake date, I never imagined a catastrophe on this scale.”
During middle school and high school, Liam and Matthew spent most of their time insulting and pranking each other, and generally making each other (and their families) miserable. Can they put their past behind them for one week? When their animosity turns to passion, is there a chance that can turn to love?
Jax Calder is an author I’ve recently discovered and I’m loving her books. The chemistry between Liam and Matthew was great, as was their banter, and I was glad that there was actual reason behind their hatred of one another. This was so great!
