The Hollywood Marriage Bargain: A Fake-Dating Small Town Rom-Com (Hollywood Bachelors Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.3 out of 5 stars 1,359 ratings

Fake date. Real trouble. Fall for the fake-dating romantic comedy from USA Today bestselling author, Lila Monroe! Perfect for fans of Tessa Bailey, Ali Hazelwood, and Emily Henry.

Jackson Kane is a hot Hollywood A-lister… and the first guy I ever loved. We spent a magical summer together ten years ago, but now he’s off dazzling on the red carpet, and I’m… up to my elbows in cranky plumbing, renovating my grandparents’ old B&B on Cape Cod. He’s the last man I’d expect to run into with a wet T-shirt and no bra (don’t ask) — until it turns out, he’s shooting his latest movie right here in Blackberry Cove.

And he wants me back.

There’s no way I’m getting swept up in his celebrity circus… until my bitchy cousin lays claim to our family heirloom engagement ring, and I need a fake boyfriend to beat her game. A handsome charmer with perfect acting chops… Now where can I find one of those…?

It’s supposed to be just for show, but Jackson is determined to show me our chemistry is just as strong as ever. And boy, is he impossible to resist. But between movie shenanigans, stroppy starlets, and - oh yes - the hoards of paparazzi suddenly trailing our every move, this fake date is more real than I ever imagined.

Can we find a way to take a second chance at first love? Find out in the hot & hilarious new romantic comedy from Lila Monroe!

    If you're a fan of the fake dating trope then this is for you. It's funny, sweet, good storyline I liked the characters. It's a very easy read I couldn't put it down. I'd definitely read another Lila Monroe book

    Not only is Monroe a masterful storyteller and a queen of romantic comedy, but she’s a brilliant marketer. I’ve been dying for Jackson's story since Charming CEO, and now I can’t wait for the next book in this series after getting to know JJ and seeing the sneak peek for it. But first, you absolutely have to read Jackson and Tessa's story, and epic second-chance romance.

    Tessa Ritchie met Jackson as a teen ager when she was staying with her grandparents for her annual summer vacation at their Sandpiper B&B in Blackberry Cove on the Massachusetts Cape. They were each others' first and head over heels but had life plans that didn’t mesh.

    Ten years later Tessa has moved to the Cape and is determined to breathe new life back into the run-down B&B, both to help her aging grandpa and honor her Grandma Ruth. When a movie production company converges on their small town and wants to use the Sandpiper for filming, the promised improvements and paycheck are too good to pass up. The only drawback? The leading man is Jackson Kane, the boy Tessa loved all those years ago.

    She may have fond memories, but Jackson's Hollywood lifestyle don’t interest her at all. She's determined to keep her distance, until her snooty cousin decides she's entitled to their grandma’s engagement ring. In a panic, Tessa creates a fake relationship on the verge of engagement. With Jackson. What she doesn’t realize, however, is that Tessa is playing right into Jackson's hands, because he doesn’t intend to leave her behind a second time.

    Truthfully, I’ve been over the famous billionaire trope for a while, but Monroe's writing is so exceptional she's made me love it all over again. The A-list actor twist is also refreshing, although with it's own set of challenges. I couldn’t help but empathize with Tessa and her reluctance to let all that into her life. But Jackson is so freaking swoony, how's a girl to resist? No, not because of his fame or fortune, but because that good-hearted guy Tessa fell for is still there under all the trappings.

    This was such a great read I devoured it in one sitting. Quirky, charming and funny, but sweet, steamy and heartfelt, this is the perfect read when you just want to escape the real world for a few hours. Guaranteed to make your romantic heart smile, you definitely won’t want to miss this one!

    But the book had a few too many typos that could have been caught by a strong editor or proofreader. I liked the characters and the story line.
