Oh, my heart! This book is everything I wanted from a summer romance book. Fake dating, charm, shameless flirtation, heart, and an entire cast that you genuinely want to be friends with.

Noelle becomes Jeremiah’s fake girlfriend for a summer, and ughhhhh y’all, they were so dang cute. I loved both of them so much. I thought the slow burn was going to actually make me pass out at some point, because their chemistry build-up was done so so well.

I loved the found family aspect that Noelle had with Jeremiah’s family, and I loved that Noelle was able to help Jeremiah process the grief of his grandfather.

If you’re looking for a sweet summer romance with a slow burn, definitely check this one out!

A stand-in girlfriend and a handsome business heir find that their fake summer fling is feeling way too real in this new romance by USA Today bestselling author Kristina Forest.
Noelle Lewis doesn’t have time for long walks on the beach, brunch with the girls, or summer vacations. She’s too busy saving up to go back to college. After recently getting laid off from her bookseller job, her main gig is now serving as a “stand-in” bridesmaid, which doesn’t pay enough for the upcoming semester’s tuition. But then the perfect, if not unconventional, opportunity arises…

Jeremiah Smith II, grandson of the founder of Smith’s Sweets—a well-known baked goods company—once lived a life of frivolity. Since his grandfather’s death, Jeremiah’s tried to clean up his act, but it’s hard to focus when his family requests that he join them at their summer house in Heart Beach, New Jersey, where his most painful memory lies. To avoid going there, Jeremiah claims he already has plans with his girlfriend, and of course, his family tells him to bring her. The problem? Jeremiah doesn’t have a girlfriend.

After a chance meeting, Noelle and Jeremiah come to an agreement. He’ll hire her to be his stand-in girlfriend for the weekend, and she’ll use that money toward her tuition. She figures it will be quick, easy money, but as it turns out, Jeremiah’s family is lovely, and Jeremiah is even lovelier. Soon, a weekend agreement turns into an entire summer, and Noelle and Jeremiah will have to keep their hearts in check, or else it’s sink or swim for them both.
