Summary

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of facial hair must be in want of a shave. And tidying. And a fake date.

My name is Holly Hyman. I love order and prime numbers - and I’m in trouble. The company I work for is pivoting, and not in a way I like. Our new management? Alex Chortsky, a gorgeous, scruffy Russian devil. Our new direction? VR entertainment of the spicy kind.

Maybe I wouldn’t mind it so much if my life’s work wasn’t meant for children. Or if I hadn’t accidentally hooked up with a VR version of my wickedly handsome boss.

The only way to save my dream project is to make a Faustian bargain. For one night, I pretend to be Alex Chortsky’s girlfriend.

What could possibly go wrong?

Note: This is a stand-alone, raunchy, slow-burn romantic comedy featuring a quirky, nerdy Anglophile heroine, a scorching hot Russian hero, and an unruly, oversized puppy. If any of the above is not your cup of tea, run away now. Otherwise, buckle in for a laugh-out-loud, feel-good ride.

Laugh out loud funny!

Oh my, what a refreshingly, funny romcom! I was pulled into this story by Misha Bell as we meet Holly, an obsessive, quirky woman designing virtual reality animals for children. When her company is taken over by the "Russian Devil", Alex, she finds the direction of the company moving opposite what she is interested in. VR for adults, not something she wants to venture into, but secretly samples. She is super organized, loves all things prime numbers and can't understand her attraction to her new, scruffy boss. When he asks her to pretend to be his girlfriend for the night, things take a turn. Will Alex be the one who loves all of her idiosyncrasies? Witty banter, fantastic flirting, and a fun story packed with eccentric family and virtual pets, I was laughing out loud while falling in love. It's a quick moving, funny romance and if you are looking for a good listen, this it for you!

Ava Erickson narrates this story with her fantastic voice. Giving life to Holly and her quirkiness, it's fun to follow her strict personality. As Alex, she adds a smooth, Russian accent to die for as we get to know this interesting business man. And are treated to the epilogue by Aiden Snow giving us the true love and feelings this couple has as we finish out their story. A listen you do not want to miss!

Laugh out loud romcom

Mix ups and disasters plunge Holly and Alex into a fake date.
Both she and her twin sister have some weird hangups that constantly interfere with everyday life.

I burst out laughing quite a lot but was pleased when they reached their HEA
