Review

Sweet, hot, cute, funny, and little nerve racking!!

There is no denying these two have enough chemistry to singe the pages, and I loved how these two secretly pined for each other, but they had set the rules as being just casual and both were afraid to hope for more.

So what better way to deal with secret feeling?...have a fake relationship!! LOL

While pretending to be in a relationship was to help Tyler keep his friends off his back…he forgot how much his friends care and want to protect him. So of course, some drama ensues as these two try to keep the truth from their friends, while also keeping their feelings a secret from each other.

Love these two as they navigate their way through the chaos of friends and a wedding, while also trying to sort out what could be a beautiful relationship, if only they can find a way to come clean.

A great novella full of kinky fun, demanding friends, and some beautiful emotions.

Synopsis

It was supposed to be fun - but things are getting too real, too fast.

After I got dumped, I never got around to telling my best friend. Why relive the pain? But his New Year’s Eve wedding is coming up soon, and I also never got around to removing my ex from the guest list.

Cue my current hookup and Dom-on-demand, Damon, joking that he could stand in as my ex. A fake name, a fake relationship…

It’s a terrible idea. Of course I’m not going to do it.

But when I run into my best friend unexpectedly, I can’t bring myself to interrupt his dream wedding, and the little white lie just…

Slips out.

It’s only for the wedding. Only for New Year’s Eve. One little charade…

I know Damon isn’t interested in anything real. I know all those kisses and hugs are just for show. But I still can’t help falling under his spell.

I have to remember: after the wedding - and the year - is over, so is our fake relationship.

The clock is ticking down…

But what if our charade isn’t just an act?

About Leighton Greene

Leighton Greene has been writing stories since she was old enough to hold a pencil. Her first book was a choose-your-own-adventure style book about deciding what to eat for breakfast. It didn't shake the New York Times bestseller list, but she still has a copy of it.

After spending some time writing in academia, fanfiction and corporate reporting, Leighton decided she should probably do what she actually wanted to do, which was to write commercial fiction. So she did. She writes gay romance and, when the mood strikes, erotica as L.J. Greene.
