The Book

A fake dating contract with the man who took me on the best date of my life and then ghosted me…what could possibly go wrong?

I’ve spent the past three years trying to forget Griffin Reynolds. But that’s become impossible to do when his infuriatingly handsome face starts popping up everywhere.

After a coffee shop mishap, I find myself in the arms of Hollywood’s hottest new actor. Now, my face is next to his on every tabloid, and his agent suggests a fake relationship to keep the publicity going since he’s up for his dream movie role.

I’d love nothing more than to tell Griffin where he can shove his money. But I’d be a fool to refuse the salary he’s offering me to post a few pictures on social media. It doesn’t give me back the last few years of my life, but at least he’ll be paying me back in some way for the damage he did when he disappeared without a trace.

I do my best to maintain my stone-cold demeanor on our dates. But Griffin must be as great of an actor as everyone makes him out to be with his love-sick looks and lingering touches.

At least, that’s what I have to believe. Because the alternative is that Griffin has real feelings for me…and I refuse to let him hurt me a second time.

How He Got the Girl is a fake dating, celebrity romcom with sizzling chemistry but no explicit content. It’s the second book in the Sweeter Than Fiction series, following four best friends finding love.

Book Review

If you're looking for a perfect winter romcom... this one is it! Right from their awkwardly laugh out loud meet cute (one I won't soon forget), Griffin and Mallory won me over. Their connection and chemistry were immediate, and as someone who likes an early first kiss... well, this one delivered! But when we cut forward three years, we learn that things didn't quite work at as planned. So, while we get that early connection and swoon worthy first kiss... we also get all the pining that I adore too... and boy, was there pining! Their story was the perfect blend of heart, humor and all the winter vibes... and I absolutely couldn't get enough of it! If you enjoy fake dating + celebrity romance + an unforgettable meet cute, this is one not to be missed! I cannot wait to see what is going to happen in the series next! 

How He Got the Girl is a closed-door romance with kisses only and no language. It is part of the Sweeter Than Fiction series. While those who have read the previous books may have a better understanding of the friendship dynamics, this could absolutely be enjoyed as a standalone as well.
