Palmer Sullivan invents a fake boyfriend to prove she’s over her ex—she just didn’t expect to fall for the handsome photographer who steps in to play the part! When baker Palmer Sullivan signs up to make a wedding cake for her ex-boyfriend, Grant, and his dazzling fiancée, hotel heiress Bennett Barlow, she swears she’s not trying to win him back. But when Grant starts questioning her motives, Palmer panics—and makes up a boyfriend on the spot to prove she has moved on.

Enter Silas Howell—the devastatingly handsome wedding photographer—who jumps in to play the part. They strike a deal: six months of fake dating, strictly for show, with no real feelings involved. Oh, and no sex. Especially no sex. But between late-night baking sessions and steamy photo shoots, the heat between them becomes impossible to ignore.

Now Palmer’s fake romance is starting to feel a little too real, and her dream gig is turning into a seven-tier disaster. If she wants to pull this off, she’ll have to follow her heart, before everything she has built comes crumbling down. The Sweetest Scheme is a decadent confection that will leave you craving more!

I saw this advertised with fake dating as a trope and I was sold. I downloaded the book via Kindle Unlimited, purchased the audio and did a tandem audio and ebook read.

First off, this is duet narration which I know is NOT CHEAP but it made for an incredible audiobook. R.L. Hemm as Palmer, the FMC, was utter fantastic. R.L.’s narration included so much emotion which I loved. Jay Parker also crushed it as Silas, the MMC.

Synopsis:
Palmer is a wedding cake extraordinaire and when she is faced with her former ex boyfriend who is now engaged to a stunning heiress, Palmer panics and Silas, a wedding photographer (who has harbored a crush on Palmer), slides in and pretends to be Palmer’s new boyfriend. Palmer and Silas are both involved in Palmer’s ex’s wedding to his new fiancé and must prove to them that Palmer is truly over her ex.
