Never Fall for Your Fake Fiancé (especially not on Valentine's Day) by Kate O'Keeffe

I liked this book. I loved Lottie and James’ banter, I thought it was so realistic and adorable. I’m so glad that Lottie came to her senses in the end; and even though her mom was annoying for a good portion of the book, her heart was in the right place, and it did all work out in the end. The only problem I had was with the timeline of Lottie’s feelings. James seemed easy to read from the outside, but seeing inside Lottie’s head... it seemed like her feelings actually appeared out of nowhere. It just seemed very sudden. And the whoolleee time I was thinking “Matt? Really? Girl do better” so I’m glad she did lol.

I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! I think this is one of my favorite RomComs!! James and Lottie are such a likable couple! Lottie is quirky, funny, but also insecure and lets people walk all over her. James is a Deputy Mayor of London. He is self assured, kind, caring and pretty much the perfect guy. When the two come together they make the most beautiful, healthy and romantic relationship!!

I would LOVE to see this as a movie!! Whether Netflix, Passionflix or the big screen, it would make a wonderful movie!! I’m gushing, but I really, really loved this book so much!! This will definitely be a book I read over and over!!

Funny and lovely.

This was fun, quirky and lovely. James was to die for, and Lottie’s passion and exuberance was uplifting and enjoyable. Her crush on her workmate was difficult to stomach but the great banter between Lottie and James and the HEA made up for any discomfort on the journey getting there.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Loved their dynamic, hated her frustratingly stupid personality

I think this is my favorite Kate O'Keeffe story I have read so far!

- Exuberantly "helpful" parents
- Museums and obscure artifacts
- Work crush
- Unexpected love
- "His Honourable Hotness"
- "Secret Squirrel Rules"
- Twitter, twotty, twertty

I love that O'Keeffe's main character loves a small, obscure museum. That's how I feel about a local museum in my neck of the woods. And she has a close friend/roommate group of girls which I always love in a series.

You can read Never Fall for Your Fake Fiancé as a standalone. The other girls mentioned in the book have their own stories, which you can jump into any time. If you like reading books in order, start with book 01, Never Fall for Your Back-Up Guy.

Thank you for the eArc, Kate!
All opinions are my own.
