"A groomsman and his last-minute guest are about to discover if a fake date can go the distance in a fun and flirty debut novel.

Agreeing to go to a wedding with a guy she gets stuck with in an elevator is something Alexa Monroe wouldn't normally do. But there's something about Drew Nichols that's too hard to resist.

On the eve of his ex's wedding festivities, Drew is minus a plus one. Until a power outage strands him with the perfect candidate for a fake girlfriend...

After Alexa and Drew have more fun than they ever thought possible, Drew has to fly back to Los Angeles and his job as a pediatric surgeon, and Alexa heads home to Berkley, where she's the mayor's chief of staff. Too bad they can't stop thinking about the other...

They're just two high-powered professionals on a collision course toward the long distance dating disaster of the century-- or closing the gap between what they think they need and what they truly want."

My Rating: 2.5/5

I really wanted to enjoy this romance. I felt lately like I need something lighter, and this was light, but almost too much. You may be wondering what I mean about that so let me explain. I don't think that this romance book really went there. I wasn't cheering on the couple, not that I didn't want them to be there I was just passively watching it. It didn't go into massive details during the sex scenes, but it also didn't go into detail on their dates, or any of their time together. It was all so surface level. I wanted to care more, but it's hard to care when you're being told how things are not shown. I do plan to read the next book just to see if things dig deeper, but I don't currently have high hopes.

Thanks for reading,

Sidny
