The Sweetest Charade

A fake relationship leads to real love in this charming opposites-attract romance from debut author Jadesola James.  

Delysia Daniels didn’t intend any of this. Accidentally tagging the wrong person in a slightly racy photo could have happened to anyone. But when the slipup gains her thousands of followers and a much-needed opportunity, she takes full advantage. Fake dating an uptight history professor complete with the proverbial stiff upper lip will raise both their profiles, if she can just get him to agree.  

Dr. Alexander Abbott-Hill isn’t delusional enough to believe his sudden popularity is due to his fascinating lectures. Agreeing to a high-profile, all-expenses-paid trip across the country isn’t exactly a hardship, although getting along with an online influencer might be. But he doesn’t plan on Delysia. She’s smart, beautiful, and far more...everything...than he’d imagined.  

Fake relationship aside, neither of them is very good at pretending. Add their instant attraction and undeniable chemistry, and it isn’t long before they realize this fictional relationship is going to change their lives - just not the way they thought.

Hire more accurate narrators

This review has nothing to do with the story, but with the narrator. It was pretty painful to listen to. The narrator sounds a lot older than the heroine. Just goes to show that we really need more diversity in who narrates stories by bipoc authors that write about bipoc characters.
