About the Book:

Sometimes, you have to fake it until you make it…

Ros is too busy for a boyfriend; between work and looking after her poorly father, there’s no time left for a relationship. But when she overhears her dad’s dying wish is for her to find love, Ros is determined to make it happen – or at least, make it look like it has.

Enter Cameron, a struggling mature student with a mountain of debt but a zest for life.

Ros, driven by love for her ailing dad, reluctantly agrees to the simple business transaction: paying Cameron to play the role of her boyfriend. Ros meticulously plans their fake relationship – but when Cameron decides to go off-script, chaos ensues.

As Ros and Cameron navigate the ups and downs of their faux romance, their differences drive each other crazy. But they may just need each other more than they think…

My Review:

This was a lovely summer escape! I am a big fan of Katie Fforde so when I saw this book recommended to fans I knew I had to get my hands on it. I was not disappointed. This is a romantic story with both funny and emotional aspects – and those two aspects are balanced well throughout. The writing is strong and pulls you in, and I enjoyed following these wonderfully developed characters. Is the outcome a little predictable? Sure, but I’m 100% ok with that. In fact that’s often why I pick up romantic comedies! It’s the journey that matters most to me while reading a romantic comedy and this journey was lovely.

About the Author:

Bella has been jotting down stories as far back as she can remember but decided that 2013 would be the year that she finished a full length novel. Since then she’s written eleven best-selling romantic comedies, two best-selling bookclub reads and won the RNA Romantic Comedy Novel of the Year Award.

Bella’s stories are about friendship, love and coping with what life throws at you. She lives in Warwickshire, UK with her husband, daughter and a cat who thinks she’s a dog. When not writing Bella is usually eating custard creams and planning holidays.
