"She went home with someone else that night?"
Hearing the disbelief from my best friend's mouth makes the events of my failed date sting that much more.
I would like to make it known, I have a lot more swagger than what it seems. I don't normally ask a girl out, have her fail to recognize it's a date, and then give me a high five--as if I'm her wingman--and take off with someone else.
No. Normally I'm the one taking the girl home but with Stella, it's been one failed attempt after another and frankly, I'm done trying.
But thanks to my best friend getting married in Hawaii right before the school year starts, I'm stuck on a tropical island, watching Stella parade around in what she claims is a bathing suit.
Unfortunately, that's not the worst of it, just the tip of the iceberg. Because what I think is going to be a relaxing vacation, avoiding the one girl I can't seem to make it work with, has turned into a spectacle of being recruited as Stella's doting fake fiancé so she can save face with an old "friend" from high school.
Now I'm navigating through purgatory while trying not to get turned on by the way she holds my hand or kisses my jaw. It's all fake, that's what I keep telling myself, even though it feels entirely too real.

My Review
I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review.
Romeo is in love and unlike Shakespeare's Romeo, this is a case of unrequited love. And Stella couldn't be more in the dark about his feelings for her. But all that changes when they go to Hawaii for Arlo and Greer's wedding. And what follows is your typical Meghan Quinn romance.
I can't remember that last time I read a book with the fake fiancé trope. I found this one a bit frustrating because Romeo and Stella were at odds for so much of the book, but these two had some wonderful (and really sexy) moments that saved it for me.
I definitely enjoyed this book more than See Me After Class. As always, there were some very funny moments throughout the whole book. Meghan really knows how to bring the comedy, especially when it is needed the most. Romeo and Stella were frustrating at times, but when they were at their best, they were an amazing couple.
