I feel like I end up reading a lot of books from Reese's Book Club, but I don't follow it. She just has great taste in books!

Did someone ask for a fake engagement trope?

A Mutually Beneficial Proposal by Harper Reed is here and ready to be swooned over. With a strong heroine, a vacation setting, and, of course, a fake engagement, what more could you want from a romantic comedy?

Synopsis:
I’m engaged to a stranger.

Okay, maybe not officially, but when Owen Porter spots me floundering for words in front of my ex-fiancé and his new wife, I decide to go along with his little farce. The catch? He wants me to return the favor by being his date to a company mixer.

I’m supposed to be on vacation—forgetting about men. Now, thanks to unforeseen events, I’m not only Owen’s date, but I’m also his hotel roommate.

Lines I didn’t want to cross are quickly blurred, and my best friends convince me that there’s nothing wrong with a vacation fling. That one might help me get over my latest relationship disaster. But as the clock counts down to my departure, I know my feelings aren’t as fake as I’d like them to be. Far from it.

Meeting Owen wasn’t in my plans. Finding out who I am was. But maybe I can make both work… That is, if Owen can prove he isn’t like my other exes: a lying cheat.

Big thanks to @literaryboundtours and @harper.reed.books for having me on this tour and for the gifted copy of this book!

Reasons Why Not to Date Public Enemy CEO by Melani

Reasons Why Not to Date Public Enemy CEO by Melanie Munton

This book was so amazing I'm not even sure where to begin! It had clever writing, swoony romance, and a fantastic cast of characters.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I think I need to start with the writing. It was so well done for so many reasons. For one, it was clever. I don't really know how to explain this, but trust me on it. It's clever. Second, Munton did a great job of fleshing out each character's thoughts. I got a really good sense of both Aiden and Mia's personalities, and fears, and joys because their thoughts were well written. It didn't feel like I was slogging through them either. Their thoughts were interesting and actually contributed to the story rather than just being there to get the word count up. Thirdly, this book was funny! Like, actually funny. I laughed out loud multiple different times which is not an easy feat to achieve so props to you Munton.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Moving onto characters...Obviously, I loved the two main characters, Mia and Aiden. They were likable, relatable, and funny. But what really impressed me about this book were the well-thought-out side characters. I got a really good sense of their distinct personalities even though they weren't the center of attention in this book. Also, getting to know them decently well in this book just upped my excitement for when they get their own books in this series.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I wish I could bottle up the feeling this book gave me so I could feel the feels whenever I like. If you're looking for a swoony beach read, this is the one!
