Sophie Rogers finds it easy to focus on the important things in life. Like her daughter, her job and her family.

So when Joe, another single parent at school suggests they fake a romance to help them both out of a fix, she throws herself in.

But then Sophie starts to look forward to seeing Joe. In fact, she’s thinking about his floppy hair, Irish accent and the way his lips felt when they grazed hers (her commitment to this is exceptional) more than their synced calendars and staged socials. And there is a reason the yummy mummies called him Hot Single Dad.

Sophie Rogers isn't silly enough to fall in love with her fake boyfriend. Is she?

Tropes:

Enemies to lovers ?…?…?

Fake dating ?

Slow burn romance ❤️‍?

I am so tired of all of the same books "work is where I feel safe and secure" or 10000~ other sentences wich repeat in so many books like if all author went to the same writing workshop. Like "she is the most beautiful woman i've seen" commmmme onnnnnn well that's trivial but there so many more

Honestly, the narrator was awesome but the book itself wasn't my jam. I wanted to kick and scream at the main character so so much , especially towards the end. Just ve aware that it can get really really frustrating if you can't handle the "lack of communication " trope well

One star. The reviews are misleading. This audiobook is silly and boring and I did not like the narrator at all.
