I'd love this audiobook - both well written and well performed. I found the plot so funny - the circumstances that bring Rach and Pres together were really engaging. I love the grumpiness of Pres, and the contrast to Rach so good too - they're a great grumpy sunshine couple. I really liked how the story developed too - it went in a way I wasn't expecting. I've never read a politically based book before - but really like how this played out in the book! The audiobook was so entertaining too - I found myself laughing at multiple points from the performance!

Would recommend!!!

This was honestly another great political romance. I’ve been on a political romance kick for a while now, who would have thought this this would become a sub genre. Anyways this is definitely one of my top fav’s, it had unabashed nudity, a grumpy hero, fake dating, angst, and a lovable heroine. I think someone needs to come up with a cute name for the political romance genre, maybe polimance, romitical, I’ll keep working on it.

3.5/5It was cute and funny. I loved the banter. It wasn’t anything extraordinary. But I enjoyed it a lot. Narration was good.

I don't usually connect with many female narrators but they did an excellent job here. I loved listening to this ARC.

This was a great grumpy/sunshine with a chaotic optimist and a stubborn grump. I loved the interaction between the two. I loved her 'nothing to lose' attitude due to their circumstance (it allowed her to be bold and honest when he was surrounded by yes men). Such a great micro trope. I was also surprised how much I liked his casual...bossiness...when he wasn't being the boss hehe

Absolute recommend for a quick, fun read.

Thank you so much to the author, Dreamscape and Netgalley for this audiobook. I am leaving my review both voluntarily and honestly.

"I'd always wondered what it meant when someone kept their real smile hidden. Now I wondered what it meant if someone kept it reserved for just one person."

Pres and Rach are super cute & both are super clueless in the love department. They are perfect for each other!

Rach is a down-on-her-luck, happy-go-lucky kind of lady. Sure, she may work as an assistant to personal assistants, crash on her ex-boyfriend’s couch, and hide a whole secret past. But, mostly, things are great.
Until she:
Meets Pres, an aspiring politician, certified Capricorn, and a definitely “unlikable” dude (he knows, he had a poll done on it).
Accidentally goes viral at the same time. The internet is calling it “Boobgate.”
His PR person says they should capitalize on the fame. Pres only wants to win an election. And Rach, well, she really just wants to keep her job.
Now, she must decide if she can be herself and get the guy, too, or if faking it until you make it is all it’s cracked up to be…

Thanks to NetGalley & Dreamscape Media for the ALC of this book!

A great fake dating, grumpy/sunshine, funny and emotional read paired with fantastic writing. Rach and Pres were opposites but together they were magic. I loved both MCs backstory they were fully developed and well written.
