Synopsis

To win this election, I should be trying to kiss babies, not my best friend!
My chances of reelection have gone from slam dunk to nose dive.
What happened? A former hookup sold me out to the press, complete with screenshots. In my defense, between being mayor and parenting twins (double the puberty!), I have zero room for relationships that go beyond one night.
My campaign manager says I need to change the narrative, aka get a boyfriend ASAP to make me seem more (ugh) likeable. The only person I trust with this ruse is my charming best friend Dusty.
Despite living 3,000 miles apart, thanks to endless text chains and 2 a.m. phone calls, we’ve been the constant in each other’s lives, navigating through single dad fails (me) and breakups with cruel ex-girlfriends (all him).
Each day we spend as fake boyfriends feels more real, which is odd because Dusty is straight.
And yet our playful banter is shifting from friendly to flirty.
And he doesn’t stop holding my hand when the crowds leave.
And was he always this attractive?
With reporters sniffing for the truth, exploring these feelings could mean the implosion of my political career and our friendship.
The Mayor and the Mystery Man is book 2 in the Single Dads Club series, but can be enjoyed as a standalone. Join Leo and Dusty as they stumble toward their happily ever after!

Best friends to lovers, AND a fake relationship? Count me in 🤘 There seems to be a pattern with this author: while the first books in her series are pretty decent, the ones following up are really good.

I hate politicians with a vengeance for personal reasons, but this book was alright. 🤭🤭 This story was what you'll spect from the blurb, sweet, funny, not very deep, had a community sense, small town love, warmth. It wasn't very real but it was fun. And yes things went too smoothly sometimes, but I r......more

3.5 stars ♡ Friends to Lovers ♡ Fake dating The Mayor and the Mystery Man was a fun time. After a hook-up publishes an article about his one night stand with the Leo complete with texts and suggestive pics, the Mayor and his team is in crisis mode.

Goodreads review by Gustaf on May 06, 2022

The Mayor and the Mystery Man lacked a some of the humor that made me fall in love with the first book but what it lacked in humor it gave back in the epic pining these two men had going on. Fake dating is one of my favorite tropes and this one had it nailed. We have Leo, the mayor. After a scandal......more
