Publisher Description
A delicious and all-new reimagining of Lauren Blakely's original fake fiancé romance!
I don't mean to just blurt it out. "Why, yes, I'm engaged!"
But once I say it to a potential client, there's only one logical thing to do—cast the role of my fake fiancé.
Easy enough. As a casting director, my job is to find the most talented players for every part, so I choose dreamy, edgy, sexy, sarcastic Reeve.
And I sign him up for one week in the role of mine.
It's not as if I'll fall for him in five nights even if we get a little cozy one night at the theater. It's not as if I'll want more even after a scorching afternoon in the stacks of the New York Public Library.
I can't let myself fall because on Friday at midnight the curtain drops on our fake romance . . .
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
We adored Lauren Blakely’s deliciously fun romantic comedy—a reworking of her 2013 novella Pretending He’s Mine—and the first novel in the US author’s Caught Up In Love series. Here, we meet Sutton, a Hollywood casting director whose potential next career step hinges on her being engaged. She isn’t—and that means she needs to find a (fake) fiancé sharpish. But when she ‘casts’ Reeve, a good-looking actor, the chemistry between them threatens to boil over, forcing them to wonder if their relationship might be more than platonic after all. As witty as it is endearing, we couldn’t help but fall for The Pretending Plot’s gorgeous (and brilliantly pulse-raising) story.
