When a relationship therapist gets dumped right before her new dating handbook hits shelves, she fake dates to save face in this spicy romantic comedy.
There are a lot of things that can go wrong on an author's publication day, but breaking up with her long-term boyfriend might just be at the top of Jessica Gallagher’s list. She also didn’t expect to run into her old crush, Galvin Baker, the very next day. When Jessica goes into crisis mode about the PR nightmare, she proposes the first solution that comes to mind: fake dating. Luckily, Galvin seems game.
Galvin Baker is used to being a constant disappointment, which is why he can’t—and won’t—commit to a relationship. Unfortunately for him, his last girlfriend used her vast social media power to make sure everyone knows how much Galvin "underperforms.” Fake dating for Jessica’s book promotion seems like the perfect cover—and maybe she can teach him something along the way.
Hookups “for science” and some seriously sweet gestures later, Jessica and Galvin’s fake dates are feeling more authentic than any of their previous relationships did. Have they replaced unrealistic expectations with unexpected realness?

      Narrator January LaVoy infuses Christopher's (Thank You, Next) latest sexy rom-com with the perfect mix of humor, thoughtfulness, and angsty drama. Immediately upon publishing Ten Things Not To Do If You Ever Want To See a Naked Girl Again: The Straight Man's Guide To Not Dying Alone in a Pile of Dirty Underwear, protagonist Jessica Gallagher, a clinical therapist, is unceremoniously dumped by her longtime boyfriend. Her publicist convinces the not-really-brokenhearted Jessica that her breakup is a PR catastrophe, urging her to fake-date someone for a few months to keep her book's sales from tanking. When she runs into a former college classmate, gorgeous and successful architect Gavin Walker, Jessica thinks she has found a fake-dating match made in heaven, since Gavin's celebrity ex recently trashed him online, leaving him in need of a social media image rehab. As their fake dating evolves into real attraction, LaVoy expertly builds the romantic suspense as Jessica and Gavin try to figure out what roles they want to play in each other's actual lives, not just on Instagram. VERDICT Contemporary romance fans who enjoy steamy stories featuring reformed rakes will savor this expertly narrated, uplifting story of finding true love in unexpected places.--Beth Farrell
