Blurb

The brokenhearted billionaire visits Cozy Creek to escape. I never expected to become his fake girlfriend or fall madly in love...but here we are.


My first impression of Zane Alexander isn't great. The second is worse, but when he forces me to hang out with him, I can’t say no. We quickly go from familiar strangers to flirty friends.

When my ex returns, Zane flawlessly pretends to be my boyfriend to protect me. He’s so damn good at it, I almost believe him. Afterward, we devise a plan to fake date through the holidays. I become his plus one and he becomes mine.

I don’t know when our relationship moves from pretending to passionate, but I catch feelings. As our exes desperately crawl back into our lives like zombies, I realize there is only one man for me, and (f)all I want is him.


MY REVIEW


Autumn has a dream guy, literally. He invades her dreams nightly, and she wonders if there's a real man out there who can possibly measure up to Mr. Dreamy. Then the spitting image of Mr. Dreamy walks out of her dreams and into Cozy Coffee. Alas, he's not the sweet man she was expecting, so she puts him out of her mind.


Autumn may have put him out of her mind, but Zane (Alex) hasn't been able to do that with her. Just the opposite, in fact, and he wants her...as a friend, something sorely lacking in his life, and what he needs at this time of his life. He came to this small town to get away from the viciousness of his real life, and Autumn is the warmth he needs. The only question is, is she willing to hang out with him and get to know him, the real him?


Autumn and Zane's friends to more journey is just what I needed to read to get me ready for fall. They're snarky and funny from the very first, but they connect on such a deep level that I knew I was in for a treat in the very beginning. When he falls first, there's no way I can resist reading, and boy did Zane fall first, and fall fast. He may have said he wanted a friend, and that's what he got, but there was no way that friendship wasn't going to quickly become more. Not when there was a love spell in the air of this sweet, magical town, and when the couple has the delicious chemistry that Autumn and Zane have. Her friend Julie, and his newly regained friend Nick's story, The Hookup Situation, is up soon in Lyra's Billionaire Situation series, and I am so excited for it after reading Zane and Autumn's fun, sexy story.

Review Blitz: The Challenge by Penelope Ward

Title: The Challenge: A Single Dad Romance Author: Penelope Ward Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance Tropes: Single Dad, Second Chance, Forced Proximity Friends to Lovers, Small Town, Found Family Release Date: August 30, 2026 BLURB From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new, STANDALONE contemporary romance… Nothing says welcome home like accidentally moving in with your first heartbreak…and his little girl. Coming back to my small Wyoming hometown was supposed to be temporary. I only planned to stay long enough to help my ailing mother and sort through the mess of my family’s old belongings. Instead, I somehow ended up living in Evan Ricci’s house. The single dad now owned a bunch of properties and one of them was the place I’d rented. He’d taken it off the market and moved in before I got there. I just never got the memo. Unfortunately, there was no other place in town available, so Evan let me stay. Evan—the guy my parents took in years a...

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
