Rosé with My Fake Fiancé

This was such a sweet, lovely, spicy little novella! I love these stories that tell us there's no specific time of life, or way to look, or size, or WHATEVR to have the best most wonderful kind of love! Tessa & Luc & their wonderful friends give that message so beautifully. I love a good revenge plot, and the revenge against Tessa’s ex is sooo satisfying. And the setting of Paris is amazing, I love that it focused on less touristy things and really painted a picture of the beautiful city of lights :)
Overall very cute, quick read to make you swoon ❤️
Thank you for the ARC!!!!!

Do you ever read a book and wonder if you even know your own tastes? Because if you asked me my favourite tropes, I would never say age gap or fake dating, I’d tell you forced proximity and enemies-to-lovers. Yet these two main characters live in different countries and he’s obsessed with her (and maybe a little vice versa, but he admits it more openly), and I loved every single thing about this book.

This book had the perfect mix of romance, steam, and friendship. I love when there’s a family aspect in a book, like Luc and his grandmother, but also the found-family that can be shown with incredible friendships. Plus meeting Tessa’s friends, knowing they’re getting their own stories and some of those stories will include a more ‘traditional’ marriage and kids version of family, has me so excited to pick up every book in this series as it comes out.

I’ve read a handful of Liz Alden’s books before, and I knew there wouldn’t be a single moment of disappointment when it came to the steam. This was so hot. While I appreciated Luc’s absolute adoration of Tessa as a person, the pure desire that he looked at her with and the way her appreciated every inch of her body even before things got steamy was so, so good. I loved that Tessa was not only older than many female main characters often tend to be in contemporary romance novels, but she also had a pear shaped body, which I feel like isn’t shown often in other books. But the way she was written in this book, and her confidence about who she is and how she looks, in this book, was perfect to me. And certainly to Luc, which he made sure she knew.

Despite the rather short length, the pacing always felt right, and the dual POV worked so well for this story. Obviously because of my love for it, I wouldn’t complain about it being longer, but that’s just me being selfish. I would definitely reread and recommend it, and I cannot wait for the rest of the series.

Thank you to Liz Alden & NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review an advanced copy of this book! I voluntarily read this book, and all thoughts and opinions are my own.

A great short read, looking forward to the rest of the series. Nice to read a book where the main female characters are my age.

Thank you to netgalley, the publisher and Liz Alden for providing me with an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

Firstly, the cover is so stinking cute!!!!
But more importantly, I loved the story! Not just the romance but the friendships. I’ve enjoyed both of Liz’ books that I’ve read so I’ll definitely be getting more!

Such a cute, funny and sweet short story. Love getting a main character in an older age category. Wonderful likable main characters with wonderful side and supporting characters.

Liz Alden has done it again folks!!! I was so excited when I found out I got an arc for this book; and I immediately jumped into it. This a very cute age gap romance that had me blushing and being a silly little school girl on every page. I love how there was insta chemistry between Luc and Tessa. The chemistry was so natural it made it feel so real. The fake fiancé revenge plot was something I've never seen before but for a novella/short story it was soo good. I loved how at times you wanted to shake the book... [in my case my Kindle] because you wanted the main characters to actually look at each other and see whatever one else saw. I loved the ending so much. It wrapped up everything so well. I will read this over and over again.
Thank you for this once in a life time chance

Loooooved this book! Such amazing characters I loved them all and I really enjoyed the writing style. An easy quick read that has you hooked rom page one, cannot wait for the rest of the series.

A big thank you to Liz Alden, Victory Editing, and NetGalley for an eARC in exchange for my honest opinion. Rose with My Fake Fiancé comes out April 25, 2023.

Tessa thought she would be married long before she reached the age of forty-two. After a failed relationship and the realization that nothing is holding her in the states she decides with her group of friends to move to Europe. Before they settle into their new cities they decide to meet for a weekend in Paris to kick off their big moves. Too bad they all scheduled their flights a day after Tessa on accident, so now she is alone in Paris about to cancel a guided tour of the city. That is until the tour guide ends up being the 30 something, handsome, and charismatic Luc. They both end up spending a wonderful day together, only interrupted by Tessa's ex and his new....fiancé. Soon they are faking a relationship, but what they aren't able to fake is the undeniable connection they feel for one another. Too bad Tessa is only in Paris for the weekend...what happens when the fleeting fling feels like it should be the start of forever.

Rose with My fake Fiancé is an extended novella, so it is a super quick and fun read. It is full of humor, heart and romance. Tessa and Luc are both very likable characters that both go through emotional and personal growth during the shirt read. I loved Tessa's friends and am really excited for their future stories. The writing is quick-paced and well throughout. If you are looking for a short, spicey and fun read Rose with My Fiancé is the book for you.

Thank you so much NetGalley and the lovely author, Liz Alden, for providing me with an ARC of this novel.

I must start by saying that this book gave me the best vibes by the cover alone, when I first laid my eyes on it I knew it would be the kind of story I would enjoy.
This was such a sweet, charming and also spicy read with a bit of drama and gossip.
Everything about this novel made me more eager to keep reading just to see what happened on the next few pages from the romance plot to Tessa’s friends. The chemistry between the protagonists, Tessa and Luc, was unmatched and they made me enjoy every single encounter and moment they had throughout the entire book.
In conclusion, I think that if you want an easy and entertaining read this is the book for you!

A story of rediscovering and reinventing oneself after having given up on love. Healing through love by allowing someone to love you and finding the strength to be vulnerable once more.

The lush and romantic settings, witty banter, sizzling chemistry, the type of friendships that are more like family, and characters that will stick with you long after. Liz Alden has penned magic. I have one and only one complaint — that I finished so quickly!

I really enjoyed this fun, low-angst story. Tessa is exactly the sort of woman I would want to be friends with, and I loved her circle of friends, too. Luc is a sweetheart, and I was pulling for him the whole way. I also enjoyed the European setting that went beyond the usual tourist destinations. I could hardly put this story down and finished it in one day. I am looking forward to more stories about these characters.

This is the 1st book of Aged Like Fine Wine Novella, it can be read as stand alone. My first in this Mature women Younger man Novella and this book is good. Tessa a serial monogamist, alone in Paris because of mess up in her friends flight schedule. This is suppose to be vacation together with her bestfriends. Tessa plan to cancel the tour guide but Luc the guide convince her and they spend time together. The tour is give Tessa experience enjoy Paris through local eye.

The tour star with Musee Rodin, Luc arranged a very cool behind-the-scenes tour. Le Marais, Home of many old buildings and even more wonderful bakeries and get the best rugelach in the city. Victor Hugo Museum, learn about the life of the famous writer, including the many talented people of Hugo’s time. Last stop Shakespeare and Company, Tessa enjoy buying some books for her and her friends. I enjoy Paris through Tessa vacation.

I really enjoy this book, i consider this is not novella, the story  so thick and rich. I adore Tessa and Luc, theybare relationship goal! I can feel the different between Luc And James. I love Tessa friends, their friendship is to die for and cant wait for next novella!

Ps: the cover was good, what happend to Tessa other shoe? Lol.

Thank you to NetGalley for provide this book, it is pleasure to review this book.

This was so good. I absolutely loved this! This was an absolute delight to read. I love a good fake dating trope and this one was so good!!
I just reviewed Rosé with My Fake Fiancé by Liz Alden. #RoséwithMyFakeFiancé #NetGalley

Now don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed Luc play the fake fiancé. And he said and did some surprising stuff in bed (I loved it ofc 🫣) BUT the girls stole the spotlight here! The way Jade and Sara and Emma had Tessa's back had me wanting to be part of their group. I love their friendship ♡ (+ shout-out to Mémé for being so chill)

Also, did I mention reverse age gap? Man's eleven years younger and I can strangely relate to forty-two year old Tessa too many times! I found this trope to be refreshing :) Excited for Chris & Sara!

𝗩𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁: Perfect for when you need a quick getaway from yk LIFE, best served with a cold glass of rosé 🪄 (and if you zoom in, there's a third glass of pink wine on the table and it's mine 😂 just waiting for MY fake fiancé to show up 🤞)

What another fun read from Liz! I love that I can explore the world while reading her books. They make me feel like I am sitting in cafe in Paris or dancing in a night club right alongside her characters.

This was a super quick, sweet love story between Tessa and Luc. And an amazing group of friends! I loved all the text conversations and adventures that were up to.

I was so proud of Tessa, when she stood up for herself at the club.. And that she took the jump to be with Luc. She definitely deserves it.

Luc was such a flirt and knew the write things to say, especially when speaking with James. And Anouk, his grandmother was such a sweet side character that we got to know to better.

A fun, sweet, sexy story of love in the City of Love, filled with wine, pastries, museums, cafes, second chances, revenge and best friends.

this book was SO much fun! it was a quick read that transports you right to Paris. I also really wanted to insert myself into this friend group! Their texts and heartwarming messages were so fun to read and added a great element to the story. I also really adored the relationship that bloomed between Luc and Tessa. It started fun and flirty but the more they learned of each other, the deeper their connection grew. Tessa must have the worst luck in the world for her ex-boyfriend to show up in Paris at the same hotel LOL but I'm so glad she had Luc and more importantly her friends to get past that. I really loved this fun novella + fingers crossed we get stories for the whole friend group!!

This book was absolutely delightful! It was a great way to spend a few hours with the adoring and adorable Luc, the lovely and funny Tessa, and her fantastic friends.
It was great to see this cute sparkle turn into something more!
