Now I'm not only stuck hiding out from an ex who won't leave me alone, but with someone who screwed me over before he could even be considered an ex.
That's right, two years ago Campbell Whitlock double booked me on our fourth date. As in, had a girl show up to the table where he was feeding me off his own fork and barely disguising it as foreplay. Meanwhile, my head and heart had been completely on board to make our relationship more serious.
But a leggy blonde foiled that plan, and I've hated him on sight since. The ex-Marine turned millionaire restauranteur didn't even have the decency to follow me with an apology as I ran out of his own establishment.
It's just my luck that I'm forced to room right next door to my nemesis, who couldn't be acting more like a saint if he tried. And then the impossible happens; my ex hunts me down to deliver loaded threats and the fear I thought I'd left behind in Manhattan. Who is the only person to witness it? Campbell, of course.
His apology tour apparently extends to offering himself up as my fake boyfriend to scare off my stalker. While the plan is moronic and means having to spend more time with him, the danger I feel is real. Having a hulking, intimidating boyfriend, fake or not, might be exactly what I need.
With every passing day, pretend date, emotional gaze and midnight run-in, our relationship starts to feel less like a deal and more like something very similar to the connection I thought we had years ago. Even though I promised myself I'd never give him a second chance.
But what happens when the person protecting me starts to feel like the one I want to trust forever?
And how will I recover if his favor was done only to gain forgiveness, instead of a chance at falling in love?

They have know each other for a while from their best-friends and by the 3rd or 4th date, Heather gets the feeling that they could be amazing together until Campbell's playboy ways derail her plan. Fast-forward to a little later in their lives and the two end-up (with other friends) staying in the Hamptons for the summer. Heather is spending all summer their to heal from her previous relationship. Finally Heather forgives Campbell and the two begin a fragile friendship. As the two start spending time together they develop a friendship and begins to form into more but something from Heather's past threatens their new beginning.
Kiss and Fake Up is the first book that I have read by Carrie Aarons and based on reading it, I can tell that the other couples in this book all have their stories too but It didn't make me feel like I didn't know what was going on sometimes the way other books can. I enjoyed reading Heather's and Campbell's story and I really liked how they formed a strong friendship over the summer. Campbell just sounds dreamy and I also thought it was awesome that Heather was a strong, independent woman on her own.
When she isn't writing, Carrie is busy binging reality TV, having a love/hate relationship with cardio, and trying not to burn dinner. She lives in the suburbs of New Jersey with her husband, two children and ninety-pound rescue pup.
