Just a Few Fake Kisses...

Quick Summary: A fake it until you make it forever romance duo

My Review: From Harlequin Desire, this book presents two new novels - Just a Few Fake Kisses... and The True Love Experiment.

Book 1 - >

Title: Just a Few Fake Kisses...
Author: Jayci Lee

Just a Few Fake Kisses is the third and final book in the Hana Trio series. It features the story of the youngest Han sister, Chloe.

About the Book: When Chloe's sister prepares to go on maternity leave, a plan is set in motion to secure a temporary replacement. When Chloe's longtime crush steps up as a fill in, it is all she can do to keep her crazy hormones from jumping into overdrive. Anthony Larsen is everything she wants but cannot have. When he is put in a rather compromising position, she does the only thing she can do...she presents herself as his girlfriend. What happens when her heart gets involved with a man who vows never to commit to all she wants?

My Final Say: As usual, Ms. Lee has outdone herself. This installment deserves robust applause. Every element that makes a story captivating is contained in this book. The tender feelings of someone first exploring love, the revealing vulnerability of a heart that is unsure and yet sure at the same time, the passionate intensity when two hearts are surrendered to one another, the beautiful discovery of hot chemistry beyond mere coupling, the startling recognition of foolish decisions made, the very necessary inevitability of forgiveness, the soothing balm of reconciliation - all of that was written on the pages of this romance. I absolutely loved it! I also genuinely adored the Han family bond. The way they all cared for each other has been consistent in each book I have read. That fierce protectiveness was appreciated.

Title: The True Love Experiment
Author: Anne Marsh

The True Love Experiment is the first book I have read from this author. It features a brainiac and a pro-ro (romantic at heart) who decide to alter their realities with some fake relations.

About the Book: When Wren Wilson enters a relationship, she throws her all into finding her HEA. Unfortunately, her partners seem to be trained and prepped for whoever comes next. When she suddenly finds herself in a peculiar predicament, she enlists the help of her once upon a time crush turned taco partner/friend, the straight-laced, no nonsense, anti-romantic, Chemist Nash Masterson. What happens when the two exchange favors to help each other out?

My Final Say: This book was terribly humorous. I adored both leads. When stuffy meets huffy puffy, you get Nash and Wren. Although I found some of the antics of the family members to be ridiculous, all in all, this story was really likable. It was an opposites attract/friends to lovers story just as much as it was a fake dating/second chance story. I think readers will be won over by this couple.
