Josie Moore has a reputation. She’s been engaged four times and didn’t make it to the altar for any of those wedding. So why when faced with her father’s PR manager did she make up another fiancé? Matthew walked up the road covered in mud at the wrong time, or was it the right time? He becomes Josie’s fake fiancé to help her navigate the gossip and give her someone she can count on. As Josie’s sister’s best friend, he knows all about how their father can whip the press into a frenzy. Somehow playing the role of doting fiancé isn’t such a stretch and the two of them fight to control the narrative and while they do start to develop feelings for each other.

I’ve enjoyed a lot of Elena Armas’s novels and know many of the characters in this book. Despite that I had kind of a tough time grasping and believing the connection that was developing between Matthew and Josie. Friends definitely, but the chemistry felt a little forced and the pace of the story a little too quick.

I do love a small town romance with quirky characters and fun gossip but the feeding frenzy established by the paps and bloggers kind of left me with a bad taste in my mouth. I didn’t enjoy this one as much as I thought I would but still like this author a lot and look forward to a new setting and new characters to get to know. ❤️❤️❤️

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley for an honest review and it was honest!
