One of my favorite tropes is the Fake Dating scenario. It never fails that both the girl and the guy promise to be exclusive while they are fake dating, to make it believable. They promise that it's only going to last while it's fun and that the expiration date is when one of them meets someone that they want to date for real. And most importantly, both swear that they won't catch feelings. That last one, it's a lie. Every single time, it's not just one that catches feelings, it's both. And then they each try to play it off like there's no feelings involved. It's always interesting to see which one is going to crack first!
Here are 3 books with the Fake Dating trope.
Real Fake Love by Pippa Grant - I read this one a few years ago and easily gave it 4-stars. Henri is a hoot and Luca needs her to help stave off his grandmother who is famous for her evil eye. Henri tends to fall in love too fast and too often so she needs Luca to teach her how not to fall in love. Does it work? What do you think?
Only on Gameday by Kristen Callihan - this book is #5 in her Game On series and is on my wishlist. I read and liked The Hook-Up Game (Book #1) awhile ago and being a series in order girl, I will get to it after I read books 2-4. Only on Gameday features Fake Dating and Childhood Friends to lovers and a Shy Girl. Sounds good to me!
The Fake Out Flex by Ash Kelly, book 1 in her Hockeymances series. A new author to me, but it checks off so many tropes that I love: hockey sports romance-✓, Fake Dating-✓, Brother's Best Friend-✓ and Small town-✓.
