ABOUT THE BOOK:
The engagement? Fake. The summer kisses? Way too real…
Finding the ring was an accident. Putting it on instead of immediately returning it to the rightful owner…well, that was a choice.
One I instantly regretted when my grandmother saw it and excitedly assumed it was mine.
I wanted to correct her. Started to, in fact.
Until I was interrupted by my childhood best friend’s proposal.
But what Brady proposed wasn’t marriage; it was a temporary, mutually beneficial arrangement that tested the boundaries of our friendship.
Because it wasn’t long before my grandmother started planning the wedding…and the hot chemistry I had with Brady got even hotter.
Now, I need a way out of this mess that doesn’t end with losing the best friend I’ve ever had. Entirely doable, right?
Should be. Assuming I can stop falling in love—and into bed—with my fake fiancé.

Summer Kisses: A Fake Engagement Beach Romance by Lea Coll
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Brady and Hazel have been best friends since they were little… until suddenly, they’re engaged. The lead-up to the engagement isn’t fully explained at first, but both of them play along to avoid embarrassment and get what they need out of the arrangement. But of course, it’s not that simple—they’ve both had feelings for each other for a long time and were just too afraid to act on them. Once they finally let go of that fear? Sparks definitely fly all over the pages.
My main issue with these two was the assumptions and lack of communication. I’ve got to be honest—it was a tough pill to swallow. But after thinking it over, I can put it up to them being young, and I was able to move past it. Overall, it made for a nice weekend read.
Now I’m just over here waiting for Ivy’s story. I have a feeling about how that one’s going to play out, and I’m more than ready to dive into it!
