A year ago, Sydney King was a successful pro tennis player with a long-term boyfriend, a plan for the future, and a shot at fulfilling all her dreams.

Now, she has a cheating ex-boyfriend and a career-ending injury, and—quite frankly—things could not be going worse for her.

She hopes that returning home to Stoneport, Massachusetts, will be the reset her life needs—until she finds out her ex's wedding to the woman he cheated with is the social event of the season.

The last person Sydney expects to find camaraderie with is her former fiancé's sister, Reese Devereux. Back home after the purchase of a local inn, Reese has wounds of her own and seems even less enthused about her brother's wedding than Sydney.

When an unexpected mix-up creates the perfect story that she and Reese are dating, shockingly, Reese runs with it. Sydney knows it's a bad idea, but being on Reese's arm gives her the chance to pretend life is just a little bit more in her control than it feels.

Both women are coming home to their pasts, but it's up to them to decide what they want their futures to look like.

Contains mature themes.

I don't think I've ever listened to a Monica McCallan before. Her name comes up frequently in recommendations but nothing hooked my interest enough to give it a go until this one. I really enjoyed it! The character development is intriguing, kept me listening. The set up is, of course, a bit far fetched, but it's a fauxmance story so of course it is. I read some complaints about the ending in the reviews but I thought it was hilarious, and took nothing away from the story that had been developed to that point.

Loved the ending.

I adored this book, just like all of Monica McCallan's stories. I listened via audio, and Lori Prince did a fabulous job narrating as always. Lots of depth to the characters, unique story line, with Sydney the retired tennis pro first fake dating, then falling for her ex-boyfriend's sister Reese. Both Sydney and Reese were extremely likeable and good people, doing all the right things for everyone except monster brother Grant and unethical dad Tripp. Good balance of sweet and spice, highly recommended!!!

More excellence from Monica McCallan!

I enjoyed how this relationship was initiated. It had very interesting family and personal dynamics- I loved the wedding speeches- I hope there is a sequel where Syds best friend finds love..

I loved the relationship between Reese and Sydney from the start and as it evolved, the writing and the relationships swept me all the way along, and Lori Prince’s lovely narration kept me listening!

A Wonderful Romance

Fake romance to lovers is well done. The main characters actually talk to each other and don't assume things. Also and most importantly there is NO break up in the story. The main characters realize that they have true feelings for each other and talk about feelings and give each other room for feelings and pace to develope.

great book awesome narration
