One canceled date.
One overbooked hotel.
One fake boyfriend who feels way too real.
I arrive at a family wedding expecting maid-of-honor chaos—not to share a room with Tristan Hayes, the devastatingly charming nightclub owner I’ve crushed on for too long.
When the hotel runs out of rooms, Tristan gives his to an elderly couple without hesitation, and I see the kind of man he is.
So I offer to share my king-sized bed.
Just for the weekend. It’s totally innocent.
Until my ex shows up with a date.
Suddenly Tristan’s hand is on my waist, his smile lethal, and he becomes my fake boyfriend. It’s temporary and perfect.
Except the chemistry isn’t fake.
And wedding weekends don’t last.
Or do they?

Falling for Real : A Dare to Fall Novella by Carly Phillips
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Don’t you just love it, when you pick up a book after a loooong day and its short, sexy and sweet and makes you forget your troubles for a second? This book was all that and more.
I loved how despite this being a novella it didn’t felt rushed, Tristan and Kaylee were very likeable and you just wanted to see them end up together.
The fake dating trope is seriously growing on me. And in true Carly Phillips style i was, once again very much entertained.
