Theater actress Lainie Graham must pretend to be in a relationship with surly actor Richard Troy in this incredibly cute contemporary romance.

The “pretending to date my enemy” trope is done to perfection in this adorable romance. Lainie is the sweetheart of the stage, but she is not a doormat to Richard’s broody and snarly personality. I loved her always calling him on his shit, even when she wanted to let it go. While their chemistry is off the charts, their sex scenes could have used a little more spice.

The setting pulled me into the story. I do not know much about theater (or, for that matter, acting), but it seems like so much work. It was fascinating reading about all the behind the scenes work that goes into making a successful production. I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the Celebrities in London series!

tl;dr This “pretending to date my enemy” romance is a must read from fans enjoying a good enemies to lovers story.
