Christian Kilpatrick is need of a fake date to a family wedding to see if there is any chance of them welcoming him back into the fold. But his paid fake date just bailed. He is sweet, big-hearted, absent-minded, awkward, accident-prone, and a hot mess. 

Emile Cromwell is just taking a few breaths of fresh air to avoid his own oppressive family at a will reading, and ends up right there when Christian needs help. He is wealthy, charming, confident, unfiltered, witty, and a smooth-talker.

A fake date that goes fairly successfully...at least for the two guys. One hot night and a bit of truth telling lead to a scheme to help each other further. 

How hard could it be to pull of a husband hoax? Well...it might not be as easy as they hope. They have rules to keep things more professional...but will they be able to follow them when the temptation is real?

This is a quirky, witty, sweet, sexy, fake engagement, found family,  life and love and other disasters kind of story. It makes you smile, swoon, and sometimes frustrated mostly from external interference. I really liked how patient and accepting Emile was with Christian and his insecurities and quirks. And Christian and his friends show Emile what true companionship and love can feel like. They are quite opposites, but work together in unexpected ways even if they do kind of go about things backwards. But there are plenty of challenges and family dynamics that could complicate everything. 

Christian's roommates and Emile's sister, Elle, are all wonderful, fun, and interesting characters and add to the shenanigans. I am looking forward to seeing who will be next in the series.
