She could've broken my fucking heart the next second and I wouldn't have cared. l'd let her break me a million times if it meant seeing her smile like that again.

‘It was a special kind of hell to mourn something that never existed.’

“Yet, I’m the idiot for believing that maybe, just maybe, if I let my walls down that you could love me too.”

‘I wanted to wake up next to her again. And again. And again. Every day for the rest of my fucking life.’

“I am getting laid. Mentally laid... by fictional men.”

“So…. now is probably the time to tell you that I burned the dress your sister gave me.”

“Burned it,” she said with a straight face. “To a crisp. Removed from the face of the earth.”

“Say it again,” she breathed out against my lips.

“I love you, Red.” Scarlett pressed a soft kiss against my lips. “I’ll say it as many times as you want to hear it.”

In a way, falling out of love is like reading a good book. You become so attached to a character and how they make you feel. You follow alongside part of their story and somewhere along the way, they become a part of you, so you do everything in your power to prolong the ending. No matter how inevitable it may be. And the heartbreak of reality after you’ve removed yourself from their world is only worsened by the delay.

Turning over my shoulder to see Abel barreling his giant frame through the crowd, my eyes widened in shock as he grabbed my elbow from behind and turned me around. When his lips found mine, he kissed me passionately for at least a minute, if not more, before pulling back. “I needed another one to hold me over.”

“Don’t fall in love with anyone else until I get back, got it?” His mouth quirked against my lips. “I don’t want to hear about you going on any dates with any fuckers named John, you hear me?”

“I don’t want to be your fake girlfriend anymore.”

“Scarlett, I’m going to kiss you now.” His lips brushed against mine as he spoke, sending a jolt of electricity sparking throughout my entire body. “ Unless you tell me to stop.”

“Don’t stop,” I breathed against his lips.

dnf… this has to be the worst book ive ever read…

Meio qualquer coisa. Mas o personagem principal é um fofo. Era muito bonitinho ele nervoso perto dela. A menina é bem burra, mas é uma personagem interessante até. Legalzinho, nada demais. Mas acho que nao vou ler os outros da série nao, nao fui tao cativada pela leitura.

It was cute and wholesome. Loved the smut.

Fake dating, she thought he hates her but he always liked her trope

There were so many things wrong with this book. Number #1 is how Abel hired her to act as his cook but how badly he reacted when she started working. I mean pack your food boy if you are that uncomfortable. What he did was a horrible reaction. There is no misinterpretation of that. #2 The way they got married. I mean people marrying in Vegas seems better decision than this. #3 the way she reacted to Mae getting a house in an area which was not affordable for Scarlett. I get it you love her but this is not how people respond to someone they love getting a great house. #4 the excuse they gave to Abel for why he is required by team to get a girlfriend. Which sports team has ever needed such image to be made ever?

Over all I would say there are better books with similar tropes.

I wanna start off with the only negative: the epilogue I wish I could have had later on. I know that the characters that are mentioned would end up together but seeing it said blatantly was a small letdown when I haven’t read their books yet, the third not even being published yet. 

It was super refreshing to have a fake dating romance where the girl thinks the guy hates her but actually he loves her and is always nervous around her. It was cute and I really enjoyed the read. The spice/kinks I read at the end were unexpected but makes sense since she is a spicy book lover😂

Speaking of Scarlett, I absolutely love her and relate to her a lot. Her demeanor I see a lot in how I act so it was easy to understand her and why she acted the way she did. Now Able, the boy who was too scared to admit his crush would do literally anything for those he loves. It will always be my weakeness when reading book guys like that and I would always automatically love them!

Now to talk about what I loved.

Oh wow was this a book. One of the worst I’ve read in a while but it’s definitely a book. 

Firstly with Scarlet, weirdly obsessed with and codependent on her best friend who she only refers to as her sister who is so beautiful and so rich that she lets her live in her pool house but also secretly bought Scarlett a multi million dollar house next door so that they could always live right next to each other… okay. 

Next meet Abel, the emotionally and socially stunted football player who gets his dating advice from third graders because instead of just asking Scarlett out the first time he sees her, he hires her as his personal chef and makes her think he hates her for 8 months while secretly pining after her.

The set up of the fake dating was fine I guess until spoiler alert it was all a weird lie that Abel’s coach and daughter, who just happens to be the PR manager, cooked up… for no reason? 

I mean you’d think it can’t possibly get worse than that but no, it definitely does. Scarlett and Abel fake date for about 3 minutes before they’re both actually really feeling all the feelings for each other and they’re so in love and decide to be together for real, what a great ending, but wait! You know Abel’s ex that Scarlett and the author have been hinting about the entirety of their week old relationship? Well Abel was hugging her so he must be cheating, oh wait just kidding that’s just his “half-sib” nobody has ever known about. Then when Abel and Scarlett make yo and get back together the author really wants to make up for the fact that for the first 80% of the book there is no smut whatsoever by making the next 40 pages all smut. Morning, afternoon, night. All day, every day. And after being together for a whopping 3 week weeks they’re going to move in together. 

Now I would’ve been okay being done there but of course not. Then we have the epilogue. After being engaged for a literal day, Scarlett’s ‘sister’ makes an off handed joke about how the two of them should just get married right then and there and they can just FaceTime their parents for the ceremony… and they do it. They have a their friend OCTOBER, who of course is already ordained, marry them literally 24 hours after the proposal all while Scarlett is trying to figure out how to time her pregnancy to Mae’s even though Mae is literally not in a relationship at all.

I mean truly the whole thing was nonsense.

I loved this book right up until the miscommunication/details left unsaid trope appears

Fake dating, pining, and Italian food. Cute book.

Charlie Winchester 

I smiled through this whole book. Axel and Scarlett are adorable and so hot. The spice was so hot lol. It felt like reading a semi real relationship which was nice.
