Description
The road to love is bumpy in Charlotte Stein’s WHILE YOU WERE SEETHING— a sexy and heartwarming contemporary romance filled with fake dating hijinks, delicious forced proximity, and top tier banter.
Daisy Emmett has been enemies with famous romance author Caleb Miller since they were in college together, and time hasn’t lessened their mutual loathing. So when she agrees to manoeuvre him through a PR disaster of his own making, she knows it’s not going to be easy. She just doesn’t realise how not easy until they somehow end up trapped in the same truck, on an endless road trip from one book tour stop to another, bantering and butting heads along the way.
Then, even more horrifying: people appear to be mistaking her for the woman he dedicates all his books to. The love of his life, his adored beloved—the one who doesn’t actually exist. Now they’re trapped into pretending she does and that Daisy is her, each fake kiss and phoney embrace ratcheting up the tension to the point where enemies suddenly seems a lot closer to lovers than either of them would like.
Or so they’re telling themselves.
But sometimes it’s hard to be sure, when seething turns into something so much more…

An absolute delight! A-plus yearning on the hero's end + a road trip + enemies to lovers + fake dating = a total swoon, from start to finish.
ARC provided in exchange for an honest review.

I ADORE Charlotte Stein's writing, and she's done it again! Fake dating is truly where she shines, and I'm so glad to see another fake dating trope from her. Also ROAD TRIP ROMANCE?!?!?!?!!? Sold immediately. I sat and read this in one evening, and was in love by the end.

The tension?! The pining?! The pent up longing and poignant touches!! Charlotte Stein absolutely wrecked me with While You Were Seething. Daisy and Caleb have so much tension, from their background and history in college to their roadtrip and forced relationship. The whole book was so full of that build up, and I loved every second of it!!
You can’t go wrong with the combination of forced proximity and fake dating. We all love the one bed trope… but I think we need to add the one tent trope to that list!! Daisy and Caleb’s dynamic of two people with history and shared knowledge combined with their mutual dislike at the onset of this book truly was fantastic.
While You Were Seething hit so many of my favorite things in a good romance. I was so happy to see Daisy and Caleb’s dynamic morph into something beautiful. It’s one of those books where the epilogue hit just a little extra, and it was an absolute delight to read this book.
Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and St. Martin’s Griffin for the opportunity to read and review this book! I received a free advance copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are my own.
