Top Tip: Don\u2019t put out an online ad offering your services as a fake date. Someone will take you up on it.<\/p>\n

And it won\u2019t just be for one night.<\/p>\n

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how I ended up being Mason Jackson\u2019s fake girlfriend.<\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t even want me to be. No\u2014his sister was solely responsible for me being his date for his ten-year high school reunion.<\/p>\n

Now, she\u2019s responsible for telling his parents our relationship is real.<\/p>\n

We have no choice. We have to act like this isn\u2019t all a mistake, like it\u2019s not all fake, like we\u2019re totally, completely, utterly, head-over-heels in love with each other.<\/p>\n

Simple, right?<\/p>\n

Wrong.<\/p>\n

Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

4 \u201cyou\u2019re something else\u201d stars!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Offering my services as a fake date for one night only. Got a wedding you need a date for? I\u2019m a classy girl in public with a dirty side in private. How about a family get-together where you\u2019re the only single grandchild going? This blue-eyed brunette with a passion for pizza is the one you\u2019ve been looking for. Or if you\u2019re heading to a party and need to make that one person jealous\u2014I\u2019ve got an ass you could crack diamond on.
\nContact me at lauren.a.green@gmail.com with your needs.
\nAnd no, I\u2019m not charging.
\nBut I\u2019m not buying my own drinks either.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This ad is the start to Lauren and Mason\u2019s love story and what follows is a fresh take on the fake relationship trope. Hilariously entertaining and a feel good, fast read, I couldn\u2019t put it down.<\/p>\n

Mason isn\u2019t looking for love. He doesn\u2019t even want a relationship after his fianc\u00e9 of 6 years cheated on him. He has a reunion to attend and he is fine with going alone even if it means seeing his ex-fianc\u00e9 again. His sister has other ideas, though, and thinks he needs a date to face his ex. When she sees the online ad for a fake date, she jumps at the opportunity to help her brother out, even if didn’t ask for help.<\/p>\n

Lauren and Mason end up going on the \u201cfake date\u201d and even though it goes really well, neither are interested in a relationship and they part ways. They assume they won\u2019t see each other again but they didn\u2019t factor in the meddlesome people in their lives. When they are forced to play pretend a little longer, feelings grow and everything changes. They can\u2019t deny that there is something between them and the more they hang out the more they get to know each other, discovering just how perfect of a match they are.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t want to date. I wasn\u2019t ready to date.
\nBut I hadn\u2019t been ready for Lauren, either.
\n<\/i>Yet here she was, in my life, working her way into my heart bit by bit.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lauren was so funny! Her wacky sayings were hilarious and I loved her confidence while being her true self. Mason was a sweetheart and I loved that he got Lauren. They have the same sense of humor and understood each other. I just loved every moment these two were together.<\/p>\n

With their laugh out loud exchanges and fun personalities, Lauren and Mason are so great as a couple. They have fantastic chemistry, witty banter, and the attraction is believable. They just clicked and I could feel their connection. The progression from pretending to having real feelings is natural and well-paced. I loved the humor and heat, and I thought that the lack of angst and the functionality of their relationship was refreshing.<\/p>\n

I have to give a shout out to the secondary characters. They are too funny! I loved that they meddle and set everything in motion. Mason\u2019s sister, Kirsty, may overstep her boundaries but everything works out in the end. I would love to get my hands on her story. And Aunt Pru was a hoot! I was cracking up with everything she did. Every friend and family member just added to the fun and I loved seeing them interact with Mason and Lauren.<\/p>\n

Overall, I really enjoyed The<\/em>\u00a0Accidental girlfriend<\/i>. It is 100% lighthearted fun, and I couldn\u2019t put it down!<\/p>\n
