Kiss and Fake Up by Carrie Aarons is live!
ABOUT THE BOOK
This summer was supposed to be an escape from the city and the demons lurking within it. Too bad the minute I arrive at the beach house I'm sharing with friends, the guy I swore I'd never talk to again in my life walks through the door.
Now I'm not only stuck hiding out from an ex who won't leave me alone, but with someone who screwed me over before he could even be considered an ex.
That's right, two years ago Campbell Whitlock double booked me on our fourth date. As in, had a girl show up to the table where he was feeding me off his own fork and barely disguising it as foreplay. Meanwhile, my head and heart had been completely on board to make our relationship more serious.
But a leggy blonde foiled that plan, and I've hated him on sight since. The ex-Marine turned millionaire restauranteur didn't even have the decency to follow me with an apology as I ran out of his own establishment.
It's just my luck that I'm forced to room right next door to my nemesis, who couldn't be acting more like a saint if he tried. And then the impossible happens; my ex hunts me down to deliver loaded threats and the fear I thought I'd left behind in Manhattan. Who is the only person to witness it? Campbell, of course.
His apology tour apparently extends to offering himself up as my fake boyfriend to scare off my stalker. While the plan is moronic and means having to spend more time with him, the danger I feel is real. Having a hulking, intimidating boyfriend, fake or not, might be exactly what I need.
With every passing day, pretend date, emotional gaze and midnight run-in, our relationship starts to feel less like a deal and more like something very similar to the connection I thought we had years ago. Even though I promised myself I'd never give him a second chance.
But what happens when the person protecting me starts to feel like the one I want to trust forever?
And how will I recover if his favor was done only to gain forgiveness, instead of a chance at falling in love?

This is book 2 in a series about friends who live in NYC and who share a summer house in the Hamptons. The first book was Love at First Fight and this story features the couples best friends, Campbell and Heather.
This was a really awesome second chance at romance between Campbell who has a crush on Heather but also who screwed up his shot with her because Heather now hates him and all his friends know this. He has apologized for years and she refuses to forgive him. That is until they spend the summer at the Beach house and she has bigger problems like an ex who won't leave her alone. And so they decide to embark on a fake romance to try and show the ex that she has moved on. But they also hide it from their friends to not cause issues in the friend group.
This was a really hot, romantic and awesome story. I hated Campbell for how he treated Heather in the beginning but he manages to redeem himself by how he tries to make up for his mistakes. The ex was used as a plot device and pops up off and on throughout the story to make things interesting but not enough that it becomes the centerpoint of the story.
I loved how we get to see how different Campbell is in the present than he was two years ago. That really was why I forgave him and really rooted for him to win Heather's heart and forgiveness. He became this really awesome guy who was there for her no matter what. As to Heather I liked that she managed to open her eyes and see how he had changed and that he really saw who she was and I loved watching them fall for each other.
This book easily stands alone though I think you will have a better reading experience if you read Love at First Fight first.
