Publisher Description
One of Amazon's Best Romances of 2022!
Opposites become allies to fool their matchmaking friends in this swoony reimagining of Shakespeare’s beloved comedy, Much Ado About Nothing.
Jamie Westenberg and Bea Wilmot have nothing in common except a meet-disaster and the mutual understanding that they couldn't be more wrong for each other. But when the people closest to them play Cupid and trick them into going on a date, Jamie and Bea realize they have something else in common after all—an undeniable need for revenge.
Soon their plan is in place: Fake date obnoxiously and convince the meddlers they’re madly in love. Then, break up spectacularly and dash everyone's hopes, putting an end to the matchmaking madness once and for all.
To convince everyone that they’ve fallen for each other, Jamie and Bea will have to nail the performance of their lives. But as their final act nears and playing lovers becomes easier than not, they begin to wonder: What if Cupid’s arrow wasn’t so off the mark? And what if two wrongs do make a right?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this lighthearted rom-com riff on Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing from Liese (the Bergman Brothers series), a disastrous first meeting between straightlaced Jamie Westenberg and "tattooed tornado of flying cocktails and unsolicited astrological commentary" Bea Wilmot leaves both entirely sure that they would never work as a couple—despite an instantaneous attraction that neither can shake. When their matchmaking mutual friends fool them into beginning an anonymous correspondence that ends in a blind date, they hatch a revenge plot: they'll fake date to get their friends' hopes up and then stage a breakup so dramatic that no one will ever dream of meddling in their dating lives again. The only thing harder than pulling off the ruse, however, is managing to keep from falling for each other for real. The banter is easy and the heat level is high, though the adversarial dynamic between Bea and Jamie will be more low-key than readers might expect given the source material; Liese serves dessert first as the pair iron out their purely aesthetic differences early on to reveal a remarkable compatibility. Fans of Rachel Van Dyken and Sarah Adams will find a lot to love.
Customer Reviews
Ummm
So it starts off great and just swirls right down the drain. The characters especially Bea is SO unrelatable. I literally struggled with this book after the 50 percent mark because every five seconds the main character was stumbling over her own feet and falling down. She would literally be walking and just trip. Come on, no one is that clumsily. Instead of being relatable it became annoying. I just….. would NOT recommend. The only reason I gave it a 2/5 stars is because the writing was decent. Also, the plot was a mess. The reason they split up is stupid. Read at your own discretion. That’s all. That’s my review.
