Synopsis

It's not every day you see a new face in my small hometown of Two Harts, let alone one belonging to an annoyingly handsome all-star NFL player. But for some reason, Chris Sterns has decided that the library where I work is his go-to spot to hide from his mega-fans, and unfortunately, winding me up is his new favorite sport. Being crowned “world’s sexiest man” has done little to curb his confident charm and when he somehow ropes me into his two-person book club, I can’t help warming to his endless positivity. But when a photo of him stumbling out of a Las Vegas club with a woman in tow is leaked to the press, I can’t help but question whether his good-boy persona is just an act. And that’s far from the only answer I’m left searching for when Chris pops the question I’ve only ever heard in my favorite romance books. Did he really just ask me to marry him? It’s not the proposal I was expecting, but with my mom’s medical bills piling up faster than I can pay them and with the scandal threatening to ruin everything Chris has worked for, could an engagement be the perfect fake out for us both? Or is this a game we’ll both lose? Full of laugh-out-loud moments, this totally uplifting and addictive friends-to-lovers romance is perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Sarah Adams, and Olivia Dade.

This book was a complete surprise for me. The blurb of this book had me intrigued right away and even though Sharon M.

The Fake Out - Sharon Peterson - 3.5 Stars - Many parts I enjoyed, but many parts not so much. Let's chat! While there were SO much in this rom-com I really enjoyed, there are some parts that fell flat. The storyline itself - great and very layered.

This was such a fun time! After librarian Mae Sampson finds professional defensive lineman Chris Sterns asleep in the non-fiction section, one encounter leads to another ... and a fake engagement ensues! Chris is very much in need of protecting his image after a compromising video. And Mae, although......more

The heroine’s internal monologues were hilarious and the pick up lines throughout the book were cheesier than ever, and I promise: these pick up lines were truly something e......more
