Her first impression of Colin McCory is . . . hot. But then he opens his extremely kissable mouth. Bickering with a cynical divorce lawyer is the last thing Truly needs - so she walks out, with no plans to return.

And as they turn from enemies to friends, she discovers they have more in common than she ever imagined, including their shared queerness. With their mutual attraction reaching a fever pitch, Truly feels happy for the first time in years. Yet she can't help but wonder . . . is Colin truly, madly, deeply in love with her?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bellefleur (The Fiancé Farce) leans gently into the opposites attract trope in this playful contemporary romance. Caitlin McCrory invites two experts to offer dating advice on an episode of her hit podcast Unhinged: her brother Colin, a divorce attorney, to take the "realist" perspective; and Truly St. James, a historical romance author, to take the "romantic" perspective. It's terrible timing: Truly's reeling from having just discovered her fiancé with another woman. After her parents, who she's always looked to for romantic inspiration, tell her they're also thinking about separating, she's in no mood to engage Colin's on-air teasing—and she's very confused about the off-air flirting that follows their disastrous first meeting. As the duo repeatedly bump into each other, Truly develops an "embarrassing" crush. Though some of the subplots, including Truly goofily attempting to "parent trap" her folks' plans and Colin's rivalry with his twin brother, fall flat, the banter between the McCrory siblings; Truly and her bestie, Lulu; and Truly's show-tune–obsessed parents shines. The romance itself is swoon-worthy and Bellefleur sensitively handles both protagonists' bisexuality. The results are both incendiary and super sweet.
