Clara Montgomery accidentally finds herself fake-dating a super famous actor named Caspian Tiddleswitch (who is based on exactly who that sounds like he would be based on). An amazing fake dating enemies-to-friends-to-lovers romance. A pure delight! ( )

I'm not sure what I was expecting when I picked up this book, but I wasn't expecting to have SO much fun.
Because, this book? It's F-U-N.
It's the perfect "step in a mud pit and dig your way out of it awkward" fun.
The dialogue is snappy and funny, the back and forth is awkward and delicious.

Seriously, this is the perfect beach read. Or stuck in the house because the kids are sick and you need a break read. ( )

The first chapter or so I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy this book. Happily I was wrong. Once I got into it I really liked it. Clara sounds like someone I'd like to be friends with, Cici too! Caspian can be a little annoying, but once you know why, it's not as bad. Quick read, perfect for a beach read.

Loved this- it's only the second romance novel I've read this year, and I am getting more and more positive that this book is what is spurring me on.
The whole premise of regular gal ending up with a celebrity because of unusual circumstances- pulled me right in. Add in the fact that she worked in publishing and it was right up my alley. Clara loses her job in as a book editor, has to move in with her brother and ends up taking a job cleaning out storage units- yuck.
A series of events lead her to a famous guy, and she ends up "fake dating" him- which turns into real dating- which made me laugh out loud. This is hilarious and real and perfect for reading at the beach this summer. ( )

Due to a business change by her employer, Clara Montgomery has lost her job as a book editor. She has a lot of feelers out there, but for now she is down on her luck. She is currently living on her brother's couch and has been forced to take a job cleaning out storage facilities.

In one unit, she happens upon some shocking and scandalous information. She has discovered proof of a former escort service and is stunned to see the name of a successful British actor among the many names. His name is Caspian Tiddleswich and her best friend has all but convinced Clara to sell Caspian's story to the tabloids.

Although Clara seriously considers it, she decides not to do so. However, she did make contact with him and he immediately accuses her of blackmail. Well, he literally puts the shoe on the other foot. He insists that Clara act as his girlfriend certain opportunities in public, hoping that the paparazzi will be convinced that he is off the market. This will take Caspian quite far when it comes to promoting his latest film.

Clara and Caspian knock heads every step of the way. She wants out, but he holds the upper hand. Neither one of them expects that their fake romance might actually lead to much more. Meanwhile, Clara is feverishly trying to hunt down another editing job.

This was an enjoyable story. I absolutely loved the dynamic between Clara and her best friend, CiCi. I also enjoyed the development of the relationship between Clara and Caspian. Many things made it seem unlikely, and I loved the road that it took to get there. I enjoyed this book by Summer Heacock and I look forward to reading more by her in the future.

Many thanks to Mira Books and to NetGalley for this ARC to review in exchange for my honest opinion. ( )
