This was a cute little romance and just what the doctor ordered.
Following an amazing one night stand Hallie and Jack decide they aren’t for eachother but should enter a wager where both aim to find the one and debrief/commiserate about failed dates during the process. Add a weekend of fake dating and a sprinkle of one bed and you have another Lynn Painter romance hit.
I didn’t realise it was in the same series as Mr Wrong number but is easily a stand alone (you just would know who got together in the first if you read this beforehand)
Hallie and Jacks banter is on point and the chemistry is 🔥.
Also I’m a sucker for fake dating so was delighted as the book developed into some brilliant situations.
Plus double points for a whole lot of pride and prejudice references.
The communication issues of romance books always annoy me but not sure they can be avoided.
