Actress Tally meets workaholic business man Lucas on the Orient Express. Venice is supposed to be her final stop before returning to London, but a need arises for them to fake date and their feelings are the real deal.

The various locations, particularly Venice and Tuscany, make for the perfect romantic settings. Lucas’s brother and his godfather quickly realize that the Tally and Lucas are meant to be together. Tally’s parents and best friend provide good support systems for her.

Both the hero and heroine’s backstories are important to the plot and their individual character arcs. I enjoyed the brief epilogue which showed them a year later.

FAKE DATE ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS is a fun read with superb settings and charismatic characters.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Thanks to Harlequin Enterprises ULC for providing an Advance Reader Copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
