Summary
Hi, my name is Bree Camden, and I’m hopelessly in love with my best friend and star quarterback Nathan Donelson (so is half of America, judging by the tabloids and how much the guy dates). The first step is admitting, right? Except, I can never admit it to him because he clearly doesn’t see me that way, and the last thing I want is for things to get weird between us.
Nothing but good old-fashioned, no-touching-the-sexiest-man-alive, platonic friendship for us! Everything is exactly how I like it! Yes. Good. (I’m not crying, I’m just peeling an onion.)
Our friendship is going swimmingly until I accidentally spill my beans to a reporter over too much tequila, and now the world seems to think me and Nathan belong together. Oh, and did I mention we have to date publicly for three weeks until after the Super Bowl because we signed a contract with…oops, forgot I can’t tell anyone about that!
Bottom line is, now my best friend is smudging all the lines and acting very un-platonic, and I’m just trying to keep my body from bursting into flames every time he touches me.
How am I going to make it through three weeks of fake dating Nathan without anything changing between us? Especially when it almost-sort-a-kinda seems like he’s fighting for a completely different outcome?
Send help.
XO Bree

Review
This book had been on TBR for ages and then I managed to snag a copy a couple of weeks ago and just had to read it right away.
First and foremost, this was a closed-door romance, meaning the spice was minimal but it didn’t hinder the story for me at all. I liked Bree and Nathan, but my god were they frustrating at times, I don’t understand how they were both so oblivious to each other’s feelings when everyone around them could see it. Nevertheless, the story was funny and entertaining and I did enjoy it a lot.
It had all the feels of a classic rom-com, awkward funny moments, silly interactions and two mostly loveable characters who you can’t help but fall in love with. Nathan was just lovely, the way he was with Bree, you can totally understand why she was in love with him. And while Bree may have been more on the closed-off emotional side of things, the understanding of why was clear and even though she annoyed me at times I did have a lot of empathy for her.
Overall it was a fun read and I would recommend it to anyone who loves a fun romance and doesn’t want a lot of spice.
My Rating: 4/5 🌟🌟🌟🌟
