First thought: This is a super fast read that has all your wants in a romance. The tropes alone sold me to read this one and it didn’t disappoint. It’s the perfect read as summer is wrapping up for one last vacation romance to sweep you away. Come meet Audrey and Liam as they navigate their fake engagement with their families!

Audrey lives in San Diego across the country from her intrusive family, that’s by design. Unfortunately she has to go home to Chicago for her parents big anniversary party, for the first time she’s returning home with a boyfriend in tow. She won’t be the talk of the family - as she’s in a relationship and maybe it will turn into more as it’s been a year already. But as she waits at the airport things don’t go as planned and instead of her boyfriend showing up his wife does!

Liam is an only child and his parents didn’t get along, so he doesn’t believe true love exists and thinks he’s better off that way. However when he gets to the airport and his best friend’s little sister is there and crying, his heart does something funny he doesn’t understand. Man, how little Audrey has grown into a woman! But Liam can’t have these thoughts or her brother will kill him. She is strictly a friend and needs to stay that way.

Once Liam and Audrey make it to Chicago Liam is hit with a bad news. He just found out his grandma has breast cancer and needs a reason to keep fighting, he somehow blurts out he and Audrey are engaged. Now he just has to let her know so she can help play this mutual beneficial hoax for the weekend. His grandma needs this happiness on her life even if it’s fake.
