A cute, fast paced story about an accidental meeting that turns into so much more ;)

Sweet, steamy, funny, and cute all rolled into one story.

I thought this was a quick fun read. It was an engaging story that was enjoyable to read. I really loved all of the Golden Girls references as that was one of my all time favorite shows.

The cover is super cute, however I felt that this book came up short in so many way, first off the chemistry between characters didn't quite feel right, second the heroine Lola was not someone I even wanted to be friends with she was just a blah kind of character with no personality. As for Luke he just didn't feel like the right guy for Lola I didn't understand them together. I was left with so many questions with this book.

I LOVED this story. What was unique about it is that it features lots of advice from Blanche, Rose, Dorothy, and Sophia from the Golden Girls and it really worked with this story.

Lola needs to learn to live a little and her roomate and bestie uses the Golden Girls to teach her to have fun. That is how she ends up crashing a reunion NOT of her class or school and where Luke meets Lola. Luke is back in town and his sisters are hounding him to date their friends, so he decides to blackmail the reunion crasher, Lola and make her his fake girlfriend for his family.

Lola is an orphan and well she falls hard for Luke and his family, and so one week turns into two and three and so on. This was a fun and sweet romance and I loved every second of it.

I love fake relationship books but this one wasn't the best. It felt like the only thing in this book was Lola and Luke's fake relationship. They started to get a little bit into personal lives with Lola's lack of a family and Luke's abandonment issues, but those subplots fell flat for me. Because of the lack of subplots and interesting twists, this book just didn't keep me as interested as other books with the same trope. The big "climax" wasn't a big climax at all, so the whole book read like the treadmill when you don't increase the incline during your workout. There weren't any hills to climb!

Also, Lola's naivete almost killed me. She went into the relationship knowing that Luke didn't do relationships and her friend tried to tell her that she was getting too attached, but she did what people do: she thought she could change him. Sure, he ended up changing for her, but the point is that Lola just expected Luke to change without work on either of their parts. His daddy issues run deep, so it took him really examining himself to finally be ready for a relationship. The only person working in the relationship was Luke, and that bothered me.

The book was sweet and the romance was cute, but if you're looking for deep characters and interesting plots, I don't think this is the book for you.

I liked it. It was a cute romantic fast read. The main characters Lola and Luke were ok, fell in love pretty fast.

Lola has been dumped by her boyfriend. Lola’s roommate Frankie feels that all of life’s problems can be solved by gleaning the wisdom from The GoldenGirls. Frankie suggests that Lola can her over her ex by going to a random high school reunion ala Blanche, Dorothy and Rose. They go to the reunion, where Lola meets Luke. Luke is a afraid of commitment due to abandonment issues. He convinces Lola to pretend to be his girlfriend at his family reunion to get his mother and sisters off his back. Classic set up for love. As a fan of The Golden Girls, I enjoyed how they integrated lessons from the show to Lola’s life. The characters were sweet, I enjoyed the secondary characters as well. What kept this from being a five star review was the plot was a little thin, and the romance seemed a bit rushed. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

A fun romance! Characters are lable and hot, perfect beach read. I do feel the title is too long and makes it sound almost that this is a high school romance versus adults.

This is a fun, quick read that I just loved. All Lola wants is a family of her own, but has an uncanny knack of picking losers. Luke is never going to be in a relationship as he doesn't trust them. They meet when Lola and her friend crash Luke's high school reunion. This novel is peppered with so much wisdom from The Golden Girls that it could have been called the gospel according to The Golden Girls.....Frankie (Lola's friend), uses the show to guide her decisions and to nudge Lola in the right direction.

This book made me smile and laugh, while hoping for Lola to get her HEA. Fans of the genre will love this book and its out just in time to be the perfect beach read.

Mhmm this was a sweet story , I did enjoy it but I'm not sure how to word it but it was kinda like a B rated movie a good cheapy movie? I did enjoy it, like I said. It's a really cute story and I loved all the golden girls references!! It was really steamy which I like! It didn't hold my attention 100% but still a quick enjoyable read! It's Luke and Lola book like had a lot of back story hangup Lola was a sweetheart and I liked her character! It's a smooth, sweet, sexy read! It was worth the read but not one of my favorite! Thank you NetGalley and entangled publishers for sharing this book with me!

Luke often times is left flabbergasted when he puts his foot in his mouth, “let me make it easy on you then. I’ll leave so you don’t have another opportunity to hurt me.” With that, she opened the door, slid through it, closed it quickly, and fled his condo. Stunned, Luke remained outside." Lola is just amazed by her man's man-parts, “I can’t believe that, um, thing down there,” she said, casting her eyes toward his now-throbbing ****s, “is so eager already.” I liked this book, I even liked Lyke who had his head up his butt at times.
