When a reporter mistakenly believes Jada (who is hated for turning down a reality TV proposal) and Donovan (a NFL player and cupcake bakery owner) are dating, the two fake date until they have real feelings.

This is was fine. To be honest, I listened to the audiobook so long ago that I don’t have strong feelings about it. So it was fine.

Loved this book!!!!! Loved that Jada was open and honest about her dyslexia. Who doesn’t love a good fake dating turned real dating story. I was so heartbroken when Jada ended things with Donovan but was so happy she wanted to final go on a journey to discover herself. My only wish on her journey of self love and discovery for her to finally stand up to her parents for the way they treated her. Overall I absolutely loved this book and can’t wait to hopefully read more by this author will we get 2 additional books to find out what happens to Donovan’s two best friends? I truly hope so

I gave this book a chance. It was not for me. I will not be reviewing it on my bookstagram account or goodread page. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to read it.

This was the first book I've ready by Jamie Wesley and I really enjoyed it. This book was funny, entertaining, steamy, and so swoony. I couldn't put Fake It Till You Bake It down once I started reading!

Fake It Till You Bake It by Jamie Wesley is a really fun fake-dating romance book about a reality star, Jada, and a cupcake-baking football player, Donovan. They pretend to be dating because the cupcake store is not performing as well as Donovan would like, and Jada is trying to win back the public's love. This was such a cute story, and I really enjoyed all the characters. Definitely recommend! Thanks to NetGalley for the free digital review copy. All opinions are my own.

I don't know why this made me think of The Proposal by Jasmine Guillory. Maybe because I read them close together or because of similar vibes/structure.... not sure.

I feel like, besides that familiarity, I've read this before. This is no fault of the author because some similar stories are out there. They did great with the miscommunication trope, which I finally liked because it started because of mutual bad days, and that's realistic. We had some good spicy & sweet scenes, and it was a good story. Just not incredible.

This book was so good and the tension was immaculate! This was the first book that I physically annotated and it made the experience that much more fun! Also who doesn’t love the idea of the baker teaching the nfl player some things in the kitchen!

Spoiled trust fund reality tv star meets down-to-earth football star. I’ll start with what I enjoyed. The bakery setting was fun. The trio of football buddies owning a cupcake shop was a refreshing twist. I found each of them compelling in their own way. Unfortunately I found this story as a whole to be painfully dull. It’s hard to explain why this fell flat for me. It was cheesy and didn’t stand out from the hundreds of other mediocre romcoms on the market. The characters weren’t distinct or memorable. The banter was fine, but the plot was weak and formulaic. There was a third act breakup that made no sense at all. I felt that there was no realistic or believable conflict or tension. Overall, a very bland book. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC to review!

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for providing me with an eARC of this phenomenal novel! All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This delightful enemies-to-lovers rom-com with a lot of heart stars Donovan, a football player hoping to make his cupcake bakery more profitable and Jada, a reality star the world now hates for turning down a proposal on a dating show. After a not so sweet first meeting, Jada winds up working at Donovan’s bakery where a reporter mistakes them for a couple. The two take advantage of the situation in order to boost Donovan’s cupcake sales and to explain Jada’s decision to turn down the reality show proposal: she was already in love with someone else. Things heat up in and out of the kitchen as the two get to know each other more, but will that be enough to bake an authentic loving relationship? Do these two even want that with each other? Find out by reading Jamie Wesley’s Fake It Till You Bake It!

This story is wonderful and reading about Jada and Donovan falling for each other is delightful. Mix that with a host of fun characters and we have all the ingredients for a delicious romance novel!

5 out of 5 cupcakes–I mean stars.

I was very excited about this title, but I have had difficulty getting into the book. I have currently marked as DNF, but will be reattempting in the future as I am a mood reader. However, from what I did read I really enjoyed. I think the main problem for me was the book didn’t instantly hook me and I felt like I was having to work a bit to get started on this story. I am excited to try this book when I am in a different headspace and will be updating my review.

A great romance book! I love Jada and Donovan! Donovan is a football player and one of the owners of a cupcake bakery. Jada is coming off a awful experience on a reality TV show. They meet at Donovan's bakery and sparks fly! When Jada's grandmother, the owner of Donovan's football team, asks him to give granddaughter a job, he agrees. When they meet, they realize that they already met! Will they give in to their feelings?

This book had me at "cupcake-baking football player."

This was a fun fake dating story! It can be easy to find the bakery/cupcake/food romance tropes overdone, but this was a unique take on it.

This was really charming! I was briefly worried that at the end that it was going to do a thing that I hate but it did it in a way that I didn't feel was destructive to the relationship previously established and it was honestly so refreshing.

I loved Fake it Till You Bake It! This book was fun in the same way The Bromance Book Club was fun! Donovan is an NFL player who owns a cupcakery with 2 of his football teammates. Jada is just off a Bachelor type reality show and now she’s the nations villain. The two meet, and instantly they dislike each other. But to get more business for the cupcake shop they decide to fake date. That’s one of my favorite tropes and Jamie Wesley did it right!!

Thank you to #netgalley and the publisher for the advanced e-ArC of #fakeittillyoubakeit..

3/5 Stars

I have mixed feelings as I really wanted to love this book. The story itself was fine, I just felt now connection to the story or characters at all. I wasn't invested and found myself putting the book down. There wasn't anything really bad about the book, but like I said everything was just very fine.

I thought this fake dating romance was super cute! Football star and reality tv show gal with drama?? Yes please! I definitely wish I would have seen a little more angst and sexual tension but overall it was a fun read! Their not so meet cute was hilarious!

I was given this book from NetGalley last year & meant to post my review!

Fake dating is one of my favorite tropes. Jada is the complete opposite of Donovan which makes for a laugh out loud plot. Donovan is a football player who is also the owner of Sugar Blitz. Jada is a former reality tv personality who is coming home after turning down a proposal on live TV. American reality TV viewers aren't her biggest fans.

Jada ends up working at the bakery and that's when a reporter mistakes the pair as a couple and the fake dating ensues. The fake relationship might make for the best secret ingredient for the two and the Bakery.

This story is sweet and sexy.

Fake it Till You Bake it is full of light-hearted fake dating, loose enemies to lovers’ trope that I adore in romances. It follows Jada, a former reality dating show star, and Donovan, a NFL player and the owner of a cute little cupcake shop. Jada, being down on her luck after her family cuts her off financially, must take a job with Donovan. It reads like a Hallmark movie, and I love Hallmark. I really enjoyed it.

Thank you to St. Martin’s Press, Jamie Wesley and NetGally for the ARC.

DNF at 20%. I couldn’t get into the flow of the writing and ultimately couldn’t get invested in the story. Just not for me at this moment! Fun premise, though.

Rom-com at its best!

I absolutely Loved this book!

This was an amazing funny, sweet read that I could not put down! This book put me into the romance spirit!

Jamie Wesley did a great job with this story! I really enjoyed reading this book!

No spoilers with my review! This is a must read!

Overall I give this book 5 golden stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
