Love changes people. I’m the first to admit that I, Keaton Bridges, used to be an immature, entitled ass.
Okay, maybe I’m the second to admit it—after Roxy Carter.
Okay, maybe I’m the second to admit it—after Roxy Carter.
That loudmouth.
But I’ve seen what true love has done for my friends, and I want it for myself.
Somehow, I’m the only single guy left.
Somehow, she’s the only single girl.
The only time Foxy Roxy hasn’t been a loudmouth?
That time we were making out at our best friends’ wedding.
And every time we’ve seen each other in the five years since then, because she refuses to talk about it.
Well, she’s going to have to talk to me now.
It’s the dead of winter, and our six best friends were planning a getaway at a Caribbean couples-only resort.
One of the couples had to drop out, and I refuse to be left out in the cold.
All Roxy and I have to do is pretend to be in love for one week so we can spend some much-needed time with our favorite people.
And all I have to do is pretend I’m not dying to kiss her again.

Review
Disclaimer: I received an Advance Reader Copy at no cost from the publisher/author. All opinions in my review are my own.
This is a charming story that I fell into instantly. This book had me laughing up a storm.
I found the plot of the story quite entertaining. This has a fake relationship trope with a dash of enemies-to-lovers.
I really loved Keaton's character, but I honestly had a hard time with Roxy's character. Keaton was just the perfect hero. Roxy tended to get on my nerves a bit. I found her POV very annoying at times and other times she seemed spirited.
Despite not loving Roxy's character, I did enjoy the romance. Keaton was very sure of what he wanted and he was determined to win Roxy over. He had such a good heart. Roxy pushed back a lot but eventually, she gave in to her feelings. This couple just felt so right together.
Overall, this is a compelling story that I couldn't put down. I struggled a bit with one of the main characters, but I still enjoyed the book. I will definitely pick up another book by this author and I'll probably start with the ones with the side characters from this story!
Author Bio
Before writing steamy romantic comedy novels, Kayley Loring got a BFA in creative writing from a Canadian university and had a fifteen-year career as a screenwriter in Los Angeles (under a different name). She mostly wrote PG-13 family comedies that studios would pay her lots of money for and then never make into movies. In 2017 she decided to move to the Pacific Northwest and write about all the fun stuff that she wasn't allowed to write about in those PG-13 scripts. Now she’s breathing cleaner air and writing dirtier words. It’s an adjustment she’s happily getting used to.
