Description

"I was hooked from the very first page!” – Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of In a Holidaze

An Indie Next and Library Reads Pick!

With nods to Bridget Jones and Pride & Prejudice, this debut is a delightful #ownvoices queer rom-com about a free-spirited social media astrologer who agrees to fake a relationship with an uptight actuary until New Year’s Eve—with results not even the stars could predict!

After a disastrous blind date, Darcy Lowell is desperate to stop her well-meaning brother from playing matchmaker ever again. Love—and the inevitable heartbreak—is the last thing she wants. So she fibs and says her latest set up was a success. Darcy doesn’t expect her lie to bite her in the ass.

Elle Jones, one of the astrologers behind the popular Twitter account Oh My Stars, dreams of finding her soul mate. But she knows it is most assuredly not Darcy... a no-nonsense stick-in-the-mud, who is way too analytical, punctual, and skeptical for someone as free-spirited as Elle. When Darcy’s brother—and Elle's new business partner—expresses how happy he is that they hit it off, Elle is baffled. Was Darcy on the same date? Because... awkward.

Darcy begs Elle to play along and she agrees to pretend they’re dating. But with a few conditions: Darcy must help Elle navigate her own overbearing family during the holidays and their arrangement expires on New Year’s Eve. The last thing they expect is to develop real feelings during a faux relationship. But maybe opposites can attract when true love is written in the stars?

"Everything I want from a rom-com: fun, whimsical, sexy." – Talia Hibbert, USA Today bestselling author of Get a Life, Chloe Brown

Library Journal Reviews

Astrologer and app developer Elle's new friend and business partner sets the free-spirited Elle up on a date with his buttoned-up and certified "true love skeptic" sister Darcy, to disastrous results. Darcy, tired of her brother's meddling, tells him she hit it off with Elle so he will stop trying to find her one true love, at least for a little while. Darcy's ruse is quickly discovered by a baffled Elle. Darcy pleads with Elle to consider being her fake girlfriend, at least through all the upcoming holidays. Elle reluctantly agrees; she felt a real spark with Darcy and is worried her heart will be hurt, even if they are only pretending. Darcy and Elle soon find that they are better suited than they could have possibly imagined, but must overcome Darcy's fear of commitment. Narrator Lauren Sweet's enunciation at times feels a bit stilted and overemphatic at first, but settles in once the characters have been established. VERDICT An enchanting debut romance featuring Pride and Prejudice character archetypes, banter, and sexual tension shaken together to create a perfectly delicious contemporary romance. Darcy and Elle's simmering attraction comes alive in this audiobook, making it an ideal listen for fans of Christina Lauren's early romance novels.—Elizabeth Gabriel, Milwaukee P.L.
