4 Stars
Fake girlfriend. Zero
feelings. One dirty pucking mess.
I don’t have time for
romance. I barely have time to breathe.
Two jobs. One amazing
son. Zero room for anything else.
Benny is my whole
heart—he’s on the spectrum, nonverbal, and worth every second of hustle it
takes to give him what he needs. One job pays for our roof. The other pays for
his therapies. I’m not looking for love. I’m not even looking for friends.
But somehow, I’ve
found myself in a no-strings arrangement with Baker Reece, star goalie for the
Charleston Copperheads and walking temptation in skates. We’re not friends with
benefits—we’re just… benefits. And that works for me. Until it doesn’t.
When Benny loses
access to the therapy he needs, everything starts to fall apart. The only
school that can help him is out of reach—until Baker shows up with a
proposition. (Yes, he actually called it that.)
His mother is dying,
and the one thing she wants most in the world is to see him settled. He needs
me to help with that. I need the money to get Benny into the right school. In
return for playing his doting fake girlfriend, he’ll cover six years of therapy
and tuition. No feelings. No catch. Just a harmless little lie.
But I guess there’s
no such thing as a harmless lie, because the longer we pretend, the more real
it starts to feel. And the one thing I swore I wouldn’t risk—my heart—might be
exactly what’s on the line.
I blew through this
book and ate it up. I loved how Baker was with Benny and Bree. Sometimes with
Fake dating I question why they would agree to the arrangement. This one I get
it. Bree was trying to do her best for Benny and get him in a school that would
work with him. I really want more in this series.
