About this audiobook
Faking this relationship should be a piece of cake.
Retta Majors is having a bad day. But that’s to be expected when your ex gets engaged to your cousin. Instead of (totally) freaking out, Retta decides to attend the wedding with her amazing, faithful, and handsome boyfriend.
One problem.
He doesn’t exist.
Duncan Gilmore is living his dream. His boxing gym is open for business, and he’s focused on success. The last thing on his mind is a relationship. That is until the beautiful baker next door makes him an offer so bizarre, he can’t refuse. One weekend of pretending to be Retta’s boyfriend should be easy.
However, shared kisses and some flirting start to blur the lines in their fake relationship. When their performance draws to a close, will they go their separate ways or return for an encore?

If you like/prefer fluffier romances, this will definitely be your jam! If you prefer more conflict and angst, you might get bored on occasion. It’s a cute fake dating romance but it sadly left me wanting more. Good narration though! - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

First title from Mimi Grace and this book was so cute. Grace did a good job of telling the characters’ stories and it left me wanting to find out how their HEA was going to unfold.
Narrators did a solid job with Retta and Duncan. Will definitely check out more from all the artists’ catalogs. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

A really cute fake romance story. Not too much angst but definitely two people who had baggage trying to get over their fear of rejection and take that plunge for love. I love a man who can cook so he was a winner for me. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5

This was such a fun, light-hearted book! The characters were so lovable and funny. I thought the ending wrapped up too quickly and I feel like we deserved an epilogue but other than that, this was the sweetest book ever! Criminally underrated! - Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5

Almost DNF it after second spicy scene but I was more than half way done so why not but the book isn't bad or good it's that book that you know you read but can't remember what was it about or one character so it's like 1.5/5 - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5

Cute and lighthearted book. I think they missed an opening to really dig deep into Duncan’s background and how his parents marriage played a part in him being how he was but nonetheless I enjoyed the book. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5
