I really liked the opposites attract storyline as well between the quirky astrologer and the straight-laced actuary. I love fake relationship romance books because I love how the attraction between two people builds to true feelings.Įlle and Darcy couldn’t have had a worse, first date but the attraction was clearly there for both of them. I fell in love with the story and these adorkable characters who couldn’t be more opposite from one another and yet seem to fit perfectly together. This was such a wonderful read and my first from Bellefleur. But when she finds out that Darcy lied to her brother saying that they are now dating, she somehow agrees to Darcy’s plan to fake date through the holidays.Īnd the more these two spend time with one another, it appears love may be written in the stars for these two opposites after all.

A moving subplot about Elle’s fight for her family’s acceptance rounds out the story, while astrology memes (“What brunch food are you based on your zodiac?”) and nods to Pride and Prejudice scattered throughout add texture. Readers will be rapt by the sensuous love scenes once Darcy and Elle throw pretense aside-but Darcy’s inability to admit her feelings might still keep the couple from their happy ending. As the women spend more time together, ironing out the details of their fake relationship and going on double dates with Brendon, they begin to see each other’s differences as turn-ons rather than turn-offs, and the line between reality and pretend blurs. Elle resents being pulled into the lie-but agrees to play along to get her own family off her back. Still, when Darcy’s brother, Brendon, who set them up, asks Darcy how it went, she says it was great to get him to stop worrying about her love life. Elle Jones, an eternally optimistic astrologist, and Darcy Lowell, a tightly buttoned actuary who’s given up on love after a past betrayal, realize almost immediately that, though their physical chemistry is electric, their personalities mix like oil and water. A disastrous blind date kicks off Bellefleur’s excellent rom-com debut.
