Description
Pretending in paradise: can fake love really be fate in disguise?
When perfectionist Lydia Winnick’s world collides with her infuriatingly attractive and cocky boss, Callum Scott, during a fateful flight to Costa Rica, sparks fly in more way than one.
On her way to celebrate her sister’s destination wedding at a resort, Liddy makes a terrible mistake. Then her life takes an unexpected turn when Callum shockingly covers for her, forcing them to pretend they’re dating. With an heirloom wedding dress lost in transit and a web of lies spinning out of control, they embark on a week-long misadventure that blurs the lines of fiction and reality.
As tensions rise and attraction simmers to a boil, Liddy discovers a side of Callum that challenges her perceptions. Yet the more their connection deepens, the tighter the knot of deception becomes. Can their growing bond withstand the heat, or will the tangled web they’ve woven unravel in a blaze that could wreck her sister’s happy day?
He Loves Me Knot is a scorching tale of enemies turned lovers, fake dates with real consequences, and a passion that burns hotter than the tropical sun. Indulge in the sizzling, open door romance of Lydia and Callum as they navigate the thin line between love and lies. Book 2 in the Wanderlust Contemporary Romance series, a series of interconnected standalone novels that can be read out of order.

This was such a fun read and i Really really want to visit costa rica now! But not in rainy season… 😅 Liddy and Callum had the perfect meet cute but then a twist keeps them apart for over 2 years…. And in 2 years A LOT OF miscommunication and misunderstanding can happen…. Which creates one of the main troupes of the story!
The angst that comes with this book is sooo good and just right! I love the back and forth and I hate the back and forth! 😂😅 but it was so well written it’s one of the best miscommunication troupes ive read!
Not to mention my FAVOURITE troupe of all fake dating! Did i already say well written this was? I loved it!! So make sure you go get this on release day!!! On July 16!!

This is my first time reading Annabelle McCormack and this was such a cute book. So many cute tropes! One bed, fake dating, forced proximity! I loved it! I read this book in one sitting, just couldn't put it down. I also loved the adventure the couple went on after the dress. Will definitely read more!

This book is an absolute delight. Featuring the perfect blend of fake dating, boss/employee, forced proximity, and the classic one bed trope; the story is a joyride from start to finish. The amazing banter kept me laughing out loud, and the fun, relatable characters made the book impossible to put down. The easy writing style made for a breezy, enjoyable read. Five stars for this charming and entertaining romance!

okay wait what i finished this in one sitting 😂 LOVED IT SO MUCH!!! this book started right out the gate and i loved it - it’s set in london/costa rice and i loved the complete opposite setting! it FELT like i was reading a vacation and having a vacation myself! Lydia (liddy) and Callum - who have A LOT of history- were so cute and two unhinged peas in a pod i loved them so much. i loved the disability rep with liddy and i love callums arc- not many books have MMCs who have amazing growth stories and dive into them and j really loved his ending. i didn’t realize this is the second book and elle has her own - im going to read that one next 😝 also dying to find out who the next book will be about!!! logan??
Special thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book!

Lydia is having a bad day. First, she gets stuck on a flight to Costa Rica--for her sister's destination wedding--with her prickly boss, Callum. Then, her sister's priceless wedding dress is seemingly stolen by a hottie on her flight. Now, the only way through this mess is to rely on Callum's help. But he has a price. A little fake dating to help get his mother and ex off his back.
McCormack knows how to write a book! I loved this one. Here's what I loved:
Lydia and Cal: These two had such chemistry. I loved them together. Lydia is a ball of energy while Cal is more uptight and grumpy. But together it works so well. I couldn't wait for them to get together for real. And when they do...the spice is perfect!
The exotic local: I loved seeing Costa Rica in this book. From the phone stealing monkeys to the food markets with hot peppers, you get swept away to this country in the best ways possible.
The families: I loved all of the families in this book. Lydia's grandmother in particular is perfect comic relief!
All in all, this is an adorable and spicy romcom!
Thank you to the author for the gifted copy!
