This is the third or fourth book that I've read recently about fake dating - usually because of a meddling mother. I will say that this is the best book that I've read with this basic theme with a nicely written couple, some close calls at the mother finding out the truth and a totally meddling mother who wants to get her final daughter married off.

Emily is the last single daughter in the family who is not married plus she is 33 and her mother decides that it's about time she gets married. Her mother makes sure that Mark is invited to her younger daughter's wedding so that Emily can meet him. Emily is totally unimpressed with Mark despite all of the wonderful things her mom had to say about him. Mark seems to be similarly unimpressed with Emily. When her mother continues to bring up Mark and all of his attributes, Emily finally calls Mark and suggests that they fake a relationship to end her mother's complaints. He very reluctantly agrees and they start to fake date. At first, they don't even see each other but talk about what their mother's will be told. After her mother almost catches her in a lie, Emily and Mark decide to see other as they continue their fake relationship. The more time they spend together, the more Emily realizes how wrong her initial impression of Mark really was. Maybe her mother really did know best.

This was a cute fake dating story. It showed the way that some parents feel a child should be married by a certain age and if not, it's time for a parent to get involved. The big question is whether Emily and Mark will get their 'happily ever after' or keep their original opinions of each other. This is a book about family, parental meddling and love. Emily is a writer so there are a lot of comments about the publishing industry and what's involved in getting a book into print. There are also some laughs along the way to a hopefully HEA.

This novella was the perfect reset I needed after some intense (but good!) reads.

This was a sweet and sexy novella. I loved all the food mentioned in the book (preparing food, eating food and talking about food is a pillar of my personality). AND all the family! What a wonderful start to a series that I look forward to reading!

Jackie Lau writes some of the most satisfying contemporary romances. A favorite read of the year for me.
