How hard can it be?
That was the question rolling around Larissa Mason’s mind just before she asked Hollis Hudson to be her fake boyfriend.
It was only supposed to be for five minutes, after all.
Granted, that was also before she felt his hand on the small of her back as he charmed the heck out of her family.
And it was definitely before she saw the football god shirtless. Otherwise, she would’ve had an idea of just how hard some things could be.
It turns out that pretending to be in love with a crazily handsome, somewhat enigmatic, and absolutely unforgettable tight end (that has an amazing tight end) is easy.
Reminding herself that just because opposites attract doesn’t mean they’re forever is much harder.
What they have isn’t love—it’s a relationship pact. Right?
My thing with athletes – and probably bad boys, if I’m honest – started that summer.
ARC REVIEW ➞
Fake dating, slow burn romance with a broken hero and all the small town vibes.
Hollis hides behind his walls. He protects himself and not even his two best friends, River and Crew, know everything. Larissa has some bad luck when it comes to her dating life and she is done, especially with dating athletes. Of course, the moment you give up is the moment you meet the one person you have some insane chemistry with.
While things started out has fake in their relationship, there is no denying that the moment Hollis and Larissa met they had some INSANE amounts of chemistry. I loved their relationship and the connection they formed. These two genuinely care for each other and want what is best for each other.
Can we take a moment to talk about Grandma Judy though? Where can I find a grandma like her? She is hilarious and full of so much great advice. I loved the way she instantly took to Hollis and truly treated him like a grandson from the start. I absolutely LOVE her.
The Relationship Pact is must read if you’re looking for a fake dating/small town romance with a broken hero.
