Publisher’s Synopsis:
WANTED: A SITUATION-SHIP
I’m a single female that’s tired of relationships ruining my life. However, there are times when a date would be helpful. If you’re a single man, preferably mid-twenties to late-thirties, and are in a similar situation, we might be a match.
Candidate must be handsome, charming, and willing to pretend to have feelings for me (on a sliding scale, as the event requires). Ability to discuss a wide variety of topics is a plus. Must have your own transportation and a (legal) job.
This will be a symbiotic agreement. In exchange for your time, I will give you mine. Need someone to flirt with you at a football party? Go, team! Want a woman to make you look good in front of your boss? Let me find my heels. Would you love for someone to be obsessed with you in front of your ex? I’m applying my red lipstick now.
If interested, please email me. Time is of the essence.
Point of view:
1st person. Alternating between Brooke & Moss’s perspectives.
Rellim’s Thoughts:
This is the first book in the Carmichael Family series. Fun tropes here: fake dating & friends-to-lovers. Brooke’s family, especially her mother, is horrible to her. In order to survive a birthday party for the only family member she gets along with – she devises a plan to get a fake boyfriend. Moss’s family maneuvers it so that he ends up filling the role.
I love that Moss & Brooke were good friends and long time coworkers before they decided to “fake date”. They are so cute together as friends that it’s easy to see the transition into more. I also love Moss’s family – his parents & brothers are a loving and fun bunch. It’s awesome to see Brooke supported by them all.
I liked that this was relatively low angst and a lot of fun. I’m looking forward to continuing the series.
Narration:
CJ Bloom and Lance Greenfield are great here. I enjoyed both of their performances.
I received a free copy of this audiobook from Home Cooked Books and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
