BLURB
Courtney
Maybe blurting out my imaginary relationship status to my nagging mother wasn’t the best idea.
Declaring that I’m dating my boss’s brother-in-law, well, that was just wishful thinking and a lot of panic.
To my embarrassment, they both overhead me. But Merrick not only offers to be my plus one, he agrees to fake date me for the next couple of months leading up to my sister’s wedding.
The more time we spend together, the harder it becomes to deny that every look, every touch, is making him more a part of my life than I’m prepared for.
The pain of thinking about walking away from him when it’s time doesn’t feel pretend. It feels real… too real.
Merrick
Courtney’s sister is tying the knot, and her mom is relentless about her finding a date and settling down. In a moment of panic, she claims she’s dating me.
To save her from the awkward situation and ease the pressure, I suggest we fake a relationship until the wedding. I figure we can hang out, show up to the wedding, and go our separate ways.
But as we start spending more time together and meeting each other’s families, the lines between real and pretend blur.
What was supposed to be a simple agreement starts to feel genuine. I’m unsure when it happened, but this relationship is suddenly the real deal, and I don’t want it to end. I want us to stay real.

I received a complimentary early release e-book prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This was a sweet and sexy story. Both Merrick and Courtney are really great people and who also have good families. She works for his SIL and her mother wants her to find love. To get her off her back she lies that she is dating Merrick and before she can confess, Merrick volunteers.
This is a fake romance story and its a bit predictable. They both are just really good people and there is no drama in this story. No exes getting in the way, no family drama, and some fun sex scenes.
The biggest hurdle in this story is that Merrick doesn't see Courtney as his future and this story really is his opening his heart and eyes to this really great woman. Meanwhile Courtney thinks Merrick is HOT and she takes a chance on him by continuing the lie.
In this book we get a lot Ryder and Jordan. We also get a lot of the various siblings and the kids. It was an awesome way for the series to end.
