Description

Lambda Literary award winner and national bestselling author Alexandria Bellefleur returns with a steamy sapphic rom-com about a quiet bookseller and a romance novel cover model who agree to a modern-day marriage of convenience...Tansy Adams' greatest love is her family's bookstore, passed down from her late father. But when it comes to actual romance... Tansy can't get past the first chapter. Tired of her stepfamily's questions about her love life, Tansy invents Gemma, a fake girlfriend inspired by the stunning cover model on a bestselling book. They'll never actually meet, so what's the harm in a little fib? Yet when real-life Gemma crosses Tansy's path, her white lie nearly implodes.Gemma van Dalen is a wild child, the outcast of her wealthy family, and now the latest heir to Van Dalen Publishing. But the title comes with one tiny condition: she must be married in order to inherit. When Gemma discovers a beautiful stranger has been pretending to date her for months, she decides to take the charade one step further-and announces their engagement.Gemma needs a wife to meet the terms of her grandfather's will and Tansy needs money to save her struggling bookstore. A marriage could be mutually beneficial, if they can fool everyone into thinking it's a love match. Unexpected sparks fly under forced proximity as Tansy and Gemma play the role of affectionate fiancées, and suddenly the line between convenient arrangement and real feelings begins to blur. But the scheming Van Dalen family won't give up the company without a fight, and Gemma and Tansy's newfound happiness might get caught in the fallout...

Sapphic at its finest

2 Frauen. 1 Fake-Verlobung. Was soll da schon schief gehen? Das Buch hatte Herz, viel Humor, eine Prise Spice, Tension aber vor allem: FRAUENPOWER! Jeder wurde hier mindestens einmal zunichte gemacht & deshalb hat mir das Buch auch so gefallen. Ich hab mich total in die Charakter verliebt und hineinversetzen können & das Ende war gar nicht mal so vorhersehbar. Große WLW-Empfehlung🙂‍↕️🩷

Fake Dating aber in Queer 🏳️‍🌈

Eine echt süße Geschichte. Zwar wie so oft in dem Genre recht klischeehaft, aber trotzdem ein schöner, leichter read mit super Charakteren. Auch wenn das ganze Szenario nicht gerade logisch ist, hat mir die Geschichte trotzdem sehr gut gefallen. ❤️

4.5⭐ First of all, this is the prettiest cover I've ever seen! The first half gave me 5, even 6 star feelings but sadly it went downhill in the second. The second half was more of a 3 star but I still gave it 4.5⭐ because I loved the first half and the main characters so much. I absolutely adored the main characters as individuals. Tansy was my favorite of the two since I could relate to her quite a bit. I loved how protective they were of each other (especially Gemma) and now Gemma wasn't afraid to speak her mind. However, the development of the romance in the second half was underwhelming and disappointing. They went from not wanting to date to all of the sudden change their mind and have feelings for each other. Especially for Gemma it seemed quite random. We also never really got to see them doing couple things. They never went on dates or anything. I felt like they didn't really know each other, except for their traumas. It was mentioned that Gemma moved in with Tansy and I was quite disappointed that we didn't get to see any of that. Not a single scene of them actually living together. There are a lot of side characters, some rather unnecessary, and I personally would have liked less scenes with the side characters and more of the main characters actually doing things as a couple.
