Description

Straight out of college, five friends with a dream joined forces to build success. Ten years later, their exclusive fitness club, Flatiron Five Fitness, is the hottest destination in Manhattan. People flock to F5F to get fit, to get lucky, and even to fall in love. The founding partners have been immune to F5F’s romantic spell—at least, so far...

Tyler McKay has a plan...
And it doesn’t include a serious relationship anytime soon. Between his day job and being a partner at Flatiron 5 Fitness, he’s busy investing in the future. But Ty knows that going stag to his sister’s wedding will encourage the family matchmakers: he needs a fake date, fast, in self-defense. When the one woman who hates him walks into F5F, Ty knows he’s found the perfect candidate—that Shannyn doesn’t play by anyone’s rules just leaves Ty wanting more...

Shannyn Hawke is done with love and romance...
She had her whole life mapped out, but it all went wrong. Now, she’s taking care of number one and living in the moment, with no concern for the future. If her college crush wants to trade a fake wedding date for physical satisfaction, Shannyn is in. But just one night proves that Tyler is everything she believes a guy should be, plus he takes it as a challenge to change her mind about him. Shannyn never wants to have her heart broken again, but she’s falling hard and fast. Can she remember that it’s just for show? Or will Tyler convince Shannyn to take a chance on forever again?

    Quick fun and witty read. The characters were fun and honest and a perfect match for each other. They made me laugh out loud a couple of times and so I enjoyed reading their story. Well done.

    There are many “fake date,” “fake engagement,” and “fake marriage” premises amongst the romance genre. I can’t believe this one surprised me. Figured it would be mostly cliche, maybe good for a few chuckles. But, as others have said, the dialogue was great. And, the characters (even the supporting one) have a lot of depth. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and I bet you will, too.
  • Best book I have read lately.

    First book in the series and it is awesome. The author does a wonderful job detailing each member in the book. You get to know the characters and why they make the decisions that they make.
  • Great story line

    The author took time to develop the storyline and plot of the romance and bonding between the characters.
