Lynn Painter NEVER disappoints! I absolutely loved this book, I’ve read all but one of her books and I think it’s my favorite of her adult romances! I wish I could read it again for the first time 😭💕

The cinderella story with loveable characters who you are rooting for from the very beginning. A great meet cute to have the reader hooked.

I LOVED this book! My reading slump tried to ruin it for me but the plot persisted! I loved the meet cute and the alignment of their stories! I think the fake dating trope killed, the one bed trope was brilliant, the billionaire trope was amazing and the side business was incredible! Honestly this book blew me away in the best way! It was the PERFECT book to pull me out of my reading slump. Another amazing book from this author!

Lynn painter can do no wrong! Perfect pace and so fun! I will literally read anything she writes! I just wish the covers show off how amazing this book is! I totally thought it might be cheesy? But it was anything but!

Lynn Painter you've done it again!
I was a huge fan of her YA books Better Than the Movies, Nothing Like the Movies, and Betting on You so I just knew I was going to eat up this "adult" book.
Her writing is so addictive and always feels like the quintessential rom-com. It fuels my little romantic soul every single time, and Maid For Each Other was no exception.
This book is like if Pretty Women meets Maid in Manhattan. The plot was fun, tension-filled, romantic, sometimes predictable, but also had Painter's raw undertones of vulnerability woven into it. I'm not usually a fan of billionaire romances, but Declan may have just changed my mind.
I did an immersive read (kindle & audiobook), and let me tell you - the narrators were PHENOMENAL. I love a good duet narration and they killed it.
I cannot recommend this book enough!
Thank you Lynn Painter, NetGalley, and Berkley Publishing for this ARC!!

After being in a slump, this is the book i needed. I love that this is different than other Lynn Painter books that I’ve read. These were not high schoolers and that made me love it because I love her writing but it can be so simplistic sometimes. With this one, other than the Taylor Swift references, I mean this even has a playlist, we didn’t have that vibe thankfully.
Abi is working her but off to pay off her student loans as well as still going to school when she has a situation in her apartment where she needs to move out for a week but she doesn’t really have anywhere to go.
Declan is a super rich and successful dude who doesn’t let the money define him. He doesn’t have time to date, but his family has been bugging him about it so eventually he makes up a story that he has a girlfriend named Abby. When their worlds collide as she is cleaning his apartment, they make a deal that benefits both of them.
If Cinderella and Pretty Woman had a baby it would be this story. Grab this one up asap.
Thanks to Berkley and NetGalley for this eArc in exchange for my review.

“Maid For Each Other” follows Abi & Declan as theydecide to fake-date after Declan’s parents run into Abi in his apartment aftershe was hired to clean it. Declan needs a girlfriend to get his family andmillionaire job off his back. And Abi needs to pay off some student loans. Withthe two in agreement on their fake relationship they think it will be a quickeasy weekend. But turns out they are both more alike than they thought andfeelings ignite between them.

Lynn Painter’s storytelling is so effortless that it’s easy to get swept up inthe world she creates. “Maid for Each Other” had everything: a hilarious plot,fantastic chemistry between the leads, and laugh-out-loud moments that remindedme of classic 90s and early 2000s romantic comedies.  It’s a mix between “Maid in Manhattan” and “PrettyWoman” minus the whole prostitution aspect). It was a super quick read, I finished it in a day.  The premise really hooked me, it’s the kindof story you want to dive right into.  Abiand Declan’s banter and their connection felt so natural, their chemistry wasbuzzing from the very beginning.  I lovedthat the book was dual POV.  It was somuch easier to see why Abi and Declan fell for each other when you’re able toget both perspectives and deeper insight into what they’re feeling.  There’s a touch of spice, but the book wasgreat without it.  I loved all the popculture references to Pysch, Taylor Swift, Pride and Prejudice and GilmoreGirls. The references made my heart happy. The climax and third-act breakup were surprisingly enjoyable! I usuallyhate third-act breakups, but this one was entertaining and added much-neededtension to the story. Was it a bit cliche? Most definitely, but I ate it up andloved every second of it.  This was a funread, a lighthearted romance and decent beach read material. Thanks to LynnPainter, Berkley Romance and NetGalley for sending me a copy to review inexchange for my thoughts.  I look forwardto Lynn’s next novel.

3.75 stars overall

I love Lynn Painter's writing and have enjoyed the books I've read so far. This one missed the mark for me. I loved the idea of a Pretty Woman x Maid in Manhattan coded storyline but both MCs just didn't communicate well with one another. For the majority of the story they were both internally struggling whether they should be straightforward about theirs feelings and both decided they'd wait for the other one to bring it up first. It eventually got extremely frustrating. I did enjoy their ending and the epilogue was cute. I know this book will find it's target audience and others will really enjoy it.

You can’t go wrong with a Lynn Painter… another fantastic entry to her catalog! Pick this one up today.

Maid for Each Other is an absolute delight and the perfect romantic comedy. Lynn Painter has crafted a story that's not just laugh-out-loud funny but also incredibly sweet and heartfelt. This book is a masterclass in the fake-dating trope, making it feel fresh and utterly charming.

The chemistry between Liza and James is simply electric. Liza is a no-nonsense maid who is sarcastic and fiercely independent, while James is a wealthy, charming-but-clueless bachelor who has no idea how to clean up after himself. Watching these two completely different worlds collide is pure magic. The banter is witty, sharp, and had me smiling from ear to ear. Their journey from strangers to fake partners feels genuine and earned, building a slow-burn romance that is incredibly satisfying.

Lynn Painter's writing is phenomenal. The pacing is perfect, making this a quick and addictive read that you won't want to put down. Every page is filled with humor, genuine emotion, and a cast of memorable side characters that add to the fun. This book is a must-read for anyone looking for a feel-good romance that will leave you with a happy heart.

My girl Lynn Painter is always a win in my book! This was very cute and lighthearted and unserious! Lots of fun tropes but I worry it won't be very memorable for me in the long run.

didn’t expect to fall this hard for a book, but here we are. Fake dating is one of my favs and Lynn Painter absolutely delivered with this one. Her writing hooked me in from page one. Declan total dreamboat and Abi’s character 😘 I felt like I was growing with her.This story had it all! I was laughing, eating up the slow-burn romance, there was emotional depth, and just enough heat to keep things interesting. It was one of those books that you start and immediately know you’re not sleeping until it’s done. I’m officially obsessed.

Honestly I loved this it was giving maid in manhattan vibes. The way Lynn painter writes is so funny and easy to digest. The two main characters were so cute for each other and I love love love the ending.

✨ Book Review: Maid for Each Other by Lynn Painter ✨
Fake dating, mistaken identity, and a dash of Cinderella vibes—this rom-com had me hooked! 🧹💼 Abi, a maid juggling college & bills, ends up pretending to be billionaire Declan’s girlfriend. What starts as a weekend arrangement turns into swoony chemistry, witty banter, and heartfelt growth for both.

💖 Why I loved it:

Abi is smart, sassy, and so relatable
Declan’s transformation feels real
Banter + emotional depth = perfection
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A fun, feel-good romance perfect for summer reading! 📚💕

I love a good Cinderella story and this was amazing Abi was so much fun and Declan was a perfect prince charming. I love how their relationship evolved from strangers to friends to lovers. Like any Cinderella story it has a super cute makeover. The love story was to swoon for these two were made for each other

This is one of the books that I wish it was a lil longer it was kind of short and I really was hoping to see more of these characters. Lynn always has the best love stories💗💜

Thank you to Berkley Romance for the advance reader copy and to PRH Audio for the complimentary audiobook. These opinions are my own. #BerkleyPartner

Abi is having a rough time. When her apartment is condemned, she decides to spend the night at one of the places she cleans. And it works great until the owner's parents show up and think she is Abby, Declan's girlfriend. This implausible case of mistaken identity of course leads to fake dating.

This book is one that only makes sense in the world of rom-coms. You have to suspend a lot of disbelief on so many aspects. But having done so, I had a great time reading. Lynn Painter writes hilarious scenes and amazing banter. And I loved that she included shout outs to both of her publishers because Abi is an aspiring author pursuing an MFA.

While I mostly classify this as a quick and fun read for when you need an escape, I was quite impressed with how it approached vast amounts of wealth and the ethics of having that much. I always have a bit of mixed feelings on billionaire romances, and I appreciated that this paid attention to the wealth disparities.

Teddy Hamilton and Saylor Bell Curda narrated the very short audiobook (under 8 hours). They both gave great performances, with Teddy in particularly shining.

Abi Mariano is frustrated that her apartment building has an infestation, and she needs to find a place to stay for the week! She doesn't have many options, so she decides to stay at a client's house, as he's never home anyway. She is surprised to see his parents in the home, and they assume she's her client's girlfriend! Declan Powell puts his career first, so he's surprised to hear from his parents about his new "girlfriend." This was a quick, cute romance.

This book is so much fun, I always have the best time reading Lynn’s stories. From the unusual meet cute, through the hilarious banter, to the perfect ending, I loved all things Dex and Abi. The pace was perfect, I really enjoyed the relationship development and progression. If you’re looking for a quick, sweet, wildly entertaining rom-com, definitely check this one out!

Thank you so much Berkley Romance for the gifted copy!!

Abi has to vacate her apartment while it is being fumigated. She knows that one of her clients (whom she has never met) for her cleaning job is out of town, so she decides to stay at his apartment, with full plans to clean it after. That is, until his parents stay in his apartment and are so excited to meet the girlfriend they have heard all about. Declan is quite surprised when his parents start gushing about his made-up girlfriend Abby after they stay in his apartment. It doesn't take long for him to track her down and offer an insane bargain for her to pretend to be his woman at some corporate events. But as things take a turn from business to pleasure, can the two make a go of it for real?

I love the fake dating trope. This was an especially enjoyable version. Lynn Painter is an excellent author of romance, and this is no exception. I read it in an afternoon!

Thank you to Net Galley and Berkley Publishing Group for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

Abi Mariano is a maid for a cleaning company, she generally cleans apartments of the wealthy when they are away from the city on business. So when she has to vacate her apartment while it is being fumigated and the apartment of a client she cleans will be vacant for the duration she sees no hard in staying there as long as she leaves no trace. That is until she runs into an older couple in the kitchen and they assume they are the girlfriend of their son Declan Powell who owns the apartment.

Declan is ready to get Abi fired when he hears of his parents meeting her, but with his boss pressuring him to bring his girlfriend to a company weekend he has no choice but to ask for her help in pretending to be his girlfriend. She agrees and though it is all supposed to be pretend, they both play their parts well, almost too well, and their chemistry has them both blurring the lines.

I devoured this book, I had so much fun. The characters had such good chemisrty and banter that I was giddy the whole time. I also think the author did a good job of doing the rich man, regular woman dynamic and it never felt unbalanced.
