Synopsis:
Whitney’s life is not going to plan. Her romantic comedy novel isn’t selling, her career feels stuck, and by the time she realises she’s in love with her best friend and roommate, Andy, he’s back from his work trip with a fiancée – and a wedding date that is alarmingly soon.
Enter a cowboy with his own problems, including a country estate he’s desperate to buy and an owner who doesn’t trust developers – or men without roots. When a viral moment throws Whitney and Jake together, they strike a deal. Whitney gets the real-life love story publishers want. Jake gets to look like a committed, family-minded man who belongs at Rosewood. All they have to do is pretend they’re in love.
As Andy’s wedding approaches, Whitney uncovers a plot twist that could change everything for him – but the romcom she’s acting out with Jake is starting to feel dangerously real.
Falling for your best friend is complicated, but riding off into the sunset with a cowboy is pure fiction… Right?
Review:
Meeting the perfect man – one who seems like he walked straight out of a romance novel – is something new for Whitney. Her best friend and agent keep setting her up on dates, and some of them are truly hilarious. They often start out well but quickly turn awkward, which made me understand why Whitney prefers being single 🙂
When she’s called out for comparing every date to her best (male) friend, the obvious question comes up: why not date him instead? Just as she starts to mentally prepare herself, he shows up engaged – and from there, everything spirals.
It’s clear quite early where the story is headed, and I was completely on board for it. I rooted for this couple from the start, and their connection felt real and easy on the page. By the end, I even shed a tear, which tells me just how much I enjoyed this book.
