From Goodreads:
When a couple
starts to feel like they're married to a stranger, a flirtatious game
of pretend becomes the spark they need to reignite their
relationship.
Eliza and Graham are anticipating an
anything-but-sexy, weeklong getaway to celebrate their five-year
anniversary. Nestled on the Northern California coastline, the resort
prides itself on being a destination for those in love and those
looking to find it. For Eliza and Graham, it might as well be a
vacation with a roommate.
When a well-meaning guest
mistakes Eliza and Graham for being single and introduces them at the
hotel bar, they don't correct him. Suddenly, they're pretending to be
perfect strangers and it's unexpectedly...fun? Eliza and Graham find
themselves flirting like it's their first date, and waiting with
butterflies in their stomach for the other to text back.
Everyone
at the retreat can sense the electric chemistry between Eliza and
Graham's alter egos. But when their scintillating game of roleplaying
ends, will they still feel the heat?
I absolutely loved this duo’s adult debut, The Roughest Draft. I also love a marriage in trouble trope, so I’m hoping this one is a winner!
Is this a trope you enjoy? Do you think you’ll be picking this one up?
Hey Michele! 👋 This is a new title and new authors to me but this sounds like a really great and sexy read. I don't think I've ever read a book with the marriage in trouble trope (although I could be mistaken of course) so that alone would make me pick this book up. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy it!
DeleteI struggled with The Roughest Draft. I liked it, but I didn't love it the way I had adored the couple's YA books.I will probably wait for reviews on this one.
ReplyDeleteThey have another YA coming out next year as well!
DeleteI have to admit, I DNFed The Roughest Draft after the first chapter, eek! But I also enjoy the marriage in trouble trope, because it shows that after all these epic romances, it's not just smooth sailing. They feel realistic and relatable.
ReplyDeleteYou wound me. Maybe you'll enjoy this one better??
DeleteFun premise- and a cute cover too! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this cover!
DeleteI read one of this duo's YA novels. It wasn't quite what I was hoping but I'm excited to try more by them. The marketing for their novels is always so cute. :)
ReplyDeleteI tried one of their YAs and didn't like it nearly as much as their adult. Hope you enjoy!
DeleteI loved The Roughest Draft so I'm really looking forward to this new one too. :)
ReplyDeleteYay! I hope you love it!
DeleteI still need to read other books by this author duo, but I'm also already really loving the sound of this one!
