This was really cutesy. I loved BK he was literally perfect. This story makes me want to read more from the author.

I absolutely loved BK and McKay! They had such an easy going chemistry & lots of fun banter. And BABY…BK was STRICT! lol. He wasn’t playing when it came to taking care of his “M&M and Peanut” even when McKay tried to fight him on it. He said what he said! And he knew how to shut it down and get her together🤣This book had a couple of my favorite tropes (fake dating, “I’m not a stepdad that’s my baby”, and an alpha MMC.) I also enjoyed the side relationships in the book too. Their separate friend groups, their parents, and her grandfather. I do think her BD got off too easily and I’m side eying one of BK’s friends for a stunt he pulled at the end of the book…because what was the reason? Overall though I really enjoyed this. It was a fun fast paced, almost insta-love story that was very low on drama/angst.

So Sweet!!!
This pretend relationship troupe by this author was done flawlessly. Even when they were found out, so unique and fitting. This was perfect from beginning to end. The chemistry was palpable It was 💥💥💥💥star heat, for Intimacy. The MMC and the FMC and all of the supporting characters made such good sense. This was my 1st read by this author and now I have to dig back into her catalog. I only put books I absolutely love and want to read over and over again on my shelf. I have got to get a physical copy of this on my shelf. This was a good read. So freaking cute.

One Arrangement, Too Many Sparks 🔥💖
BK and McKay started out “just an arrangement,” but sparks flew from page one. He was all in, and she kept telling herself it was just pretend…fail 😂💥. From the start, the tension, teasing, and slow burn had me hooked.
Their chemistry? Off the charts 💣❤️—banter, swoons, and a hero who is STRICT 😏🔥. BK’s devotion had me laughing, swooning, and clutching my heart at the same time. Every interaction between these two was electric.
Drama explodes when their secret comes out 👀. Parents freak, side characters stir chaos, and Juicy, Jesse, Ralo & Breyer bring all the spice 🐾💖. And then…oh wow…Boss had a little too much liquor 🍸 and spilled all of BK and McKay’s secrets 😱. If I were BK, I’d be second-guessing that friendship for sure 😂💀. Chaos, laughter, and surprises keep you turning pages nonstop.
Tropes? Accidental pregnancy 🤰💥, age gap 😏❤️, fake dating/fake marriage 💍🔥, and step-daddy…wait, don’t let BK hear you call him that 😈🐾—he’s the real daddy. 😈🐾—this story hits every single one. Fast, flirty, messy, and completely addictive 🌪️💖. I finished it in one day, and my heart is still recovering 💔🎢.
The ending? Great story, but honestly…it felt a little abrupt 😅. IDK, seemed like it just abruptly ended when I was ready for more chaos, more swoons, and more BK and McKay!
If you love romance that makes you laugh, gasp, swoon, and maybe blush a little…this book delivers it all 😘🔥.

Real from the fake
It’s always funny to me seeing a couple that starts off fake dating constantly trying to convince themselves that they can continue to fake date even after their feelings have changed to being real for the other person and this story was no different for BK and Mickey. She was determined to convince herself that their arrangement was just that but this man was playing for keeps from the beginning and I loved it.
I enjoyed these two together and seeing how BK was all about his M&M. These two had no drama but when their secret got out, it caused a bit of a stir with their parents, but it all worked out in the end. I was blown with who outed their secret and was hoping for a follow up on it, but I’m hoping this person gets their own story and they can give an apology there and explain what had them acting out.
If you’re a fan of fake dating or age gap romances, this is a good one. It was well written and the only complaint I had was the nickname daddy for BK because it’s always cringe to me especially with an age gap romance, but I still couldn’t put this story down and finished it in one day.

I like this book. It was cute but also had a bunch of open holes. I ended it with so many questions. All of the nicknames were cute but there were to many of them. Boss needed his ass beat, were they ever able to come back from that? I needed the baby daddy to have some consequences. They spent 2 weeks on a babymoon in the same town. I just knew that was the sign that something was going to happen at that time. I just felt like something was missing.

Big BK !!
My girl never disappoints! BK was not playing from the very beginning. I love the way he stepped behind my girl even with her own daddy . This was a very unique way to go about this trope . I have been smiling and laughing the whole book . I will not give any spoilers just know you will be doing yourself a disservice if you do not read !!

I don’t think I’ve ever read a fake baby daddy trope but I was here for it. I enjoyed reading. Fake dating and step up daddy are two of my favorite tropes. There were parts I was annoyed or felt like was cheesy, but hey it’s a romance so it happens. I do have unanswered questions but I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ll be another book with the characters. Y’all read it and form your own opinions.

🥰🥰🥰
The not so mature part of me feels like that man 😒😑 didn’t get done enough, but the more mature part of me knows that BK really won in the end! This is as such a great read. I love these two real bad. And Mrs Viola knowing everything from the grave was one of my favorite parts.

it was real from the jump!
WOAH! Plant Daddy was it for me in this story. I LOVED how he stepped up for McKay and the pressure (consistency) he applied. It took McKay a minute to catch up to realize what she was experiencing was very much so real, but I did understand her reluctancy.

Please, Say It’s Not Over!!
When I say I loved this book, I mean from the beginning to the end.
From getting to know Burkely and McKay and what brought them together. The hilarious banter between the two and don’t forget the family. To the end that I wasn’t ready for. I would love a visit just to see how they’re doing.
Fantastic book!!

Real From The Fake
This book is so good!! Burkeley is the best fake boyfriend ever. He was all in, and had no qualms about letting everyone know that McKay was his end game.
BK put his foot on the gas and didn't let up. He was determined to make Mickey fall in love with him. And she did lol!

Loved it.
This was so beautiful written. When I was getting toward the end, this made me so sad. I wanted more and more from this couple and the family. He was on a mission to get and keep this woman and he meant business. Loved it down.

Cute read! I love all the things for her! Burkley play no games in getting his m&m and peanut. Boston got super drunk and spilled all the beans, but it still worked out in the end.

This Was So Cute!
This was such a fun read! I loved the friends and family dynamic that’s throughout this book. It’s true that someone else’s trash is definitely someone’s treasure.

This was the absolute cutest read!! I love me a good fake dating romance and add an accidental pregnancy that’s NOT with the MMC, even better. This book has my cheeks hurting from smiling so hard. Highly recommend

Great Read!
Burkeley and Mickey’s banter was so funny to me. I loved how BK knew what he wanted from the beginning. It was nice to see Mickey realize she wanted the same things. I really enjoyed their love story.

This was soooooooo stinking cute.BK gave 100% BDE. This book had the correct amount of sex, romance, relationship, love ratchet & sassy ness. It was so entertaining that I finished it one day. Every time I put it down I picked right back up.

BK & McKay made an arrangement to be together for appearance purposes but fell in love in the process. I enjoyed their story. BK wasn’t playing when it came to peanut & McKay. I wish there was some type of closure for the person who blew up thanksgiving dinner with the families.

Morgan never lets me down
This was such a cute fake dating that the MMC was for sure never faking. FMC was a tad slower to the punch but they both fell hard.

This book was actually cool. I would definitely recommend it. The book features fake dating but with a slight twist. I’ve never read the trope written this way which was interesting. This was good.

Cute little fluffy story. A little bit of drama but nothing too crazy. A fake relationship that turns into a real one. It was always real for the MMC tho took time for the FMC to realize He wasn’t just playing the game!
