Josie Carter Fakes Valentine's Day by Jordan Riley: Book Review

 **ARC received for consideration. All opinions are my own. 



The Book

Josie Carter didn’t mean to lie.

One little slip about having a Valentine’s date turned into a full-blown story her friends believed… and suddenly her co-worker and best friend Tanner is volunteering to be her boyfriend.

A weekend away. A cabin full of friends. And a fake Valentine that feels a little too real.

Josie Carter fakes Valentine’s Day is a swoony small-town rom-com about friendship, fibs, and the kind of love you can’t fake.


Book Review

Oh, what a sweet Valentine's Day romance this was! First off, Josie and Tanner were the cutest together. Right away I loved the dynamic between them... they were best friends and coworkers, but there was definitely an undeniable chemistry between them, and I couldn't help but enjoy their flirty banter, even before that cross that line from friendship into more. And when they do? Even better! Seriously, I couldn't get enough of these two. More than that though, if you have ever felt like you had to hide parts of yourself and what you believe to be accepted in your friendships, this book is one you'll want to check out as Josie's story goes beyond just your typical fake dating. I loved this message of faith and once again the imperfect characters that Jordan Riley always delivers. This was a quick read, easily read in just a sitting or two, but it was packed full of faith and swoon (with a few brief appearances from some characters that fans may recognize). If you're looking for a faith-filled Valentine's Day romance, this is one not to be missed! 

Josie Carter Fakes Valentine's Day is a Christian romance with kisses only and no language. There is a bit of innuendo/mentions of sex from a biblical perspective. This is the first book in the Valentine's Ever After series. This is a multi-author series of Valentine's Day novellas and can be enjoyed as standalones.
