Pretending to date the town's bad boy seemed like a good idea.
But who knew that being bad could feel so good...

A small town, fake dating, opposites attract standalone romance from NY Times Bestselling Author Samantha Chase
Ryleigh Donovan has been unsuccessfully dodging her mother's matchmaking attempts for far too long. In an act of desperation, she finds the one guy in her small town who is guaranteed to shock everyone to be her fake boyfriend. It doesn't need to be for long, she just needs to buy herself enough time to recover from her mother's last disastrous fix-up. It's really a fool-proof plan. But when a few staged kisses lead to some very real feelings, she realizes she might be in over her head.
Ryker Masella has been patiently waiting for the perfect opportunity to get Ryleigh to take him—and his numerous attempts at asking her out—seriously. When she grabs him and kisses him in front of her family to prove a point, he's more than on board. But when she proposes a fake—and temporary—relationship, he's 100% on board. After all, she might be all about pretending, but he sees it as a way for Ryleigh to truly see the real him.
Fake flirting and orchestrated dates quickly bring on real feelings. For Ryker, they've always been there and he'll be as patient as he needs to be. She might have asked him to save her from her family, but what he wants is to save her from herself.
*Each book in the Donovans series can be read as a standalone*

Review

Ahhhh Book 3 in the Donovan Family Series is finally here! I have been waiting for Ryleigh and Ryker’s story.

So much fun, family and love in this story. Ryleigh is the lastest Donovan to feel the pressures of her mom who only wants the best for all of her children. So why wouldn’t she choose the guy to fake date that will irk her mom the most?

On a mission to get her mom off her back is how it starts but Ryleigh finds that Ryker thaws her cold indifference to him rather quickly.

Ryker’s rough exterior (hair, beard, and tattoos) leads some to rush to judgment. As Ryker and Ryleigh begin spending time together we find that there is so much more to Ryker than meets the eye.

I was very happy to watch as these two peeled back the layers and found what they were essentially looking for…each other!

Although this can be read as a standalone, I highly recommend starting at the beginning, so you don’t miss Arianna and Liam’s stories. Up next in the series is Jamie’s story and the foreshadowing makes me think enemies to lovers. Can’t wait!
