Falling for Her Fiance (Accidentally in Love, #1)

Falling For Her Fiance was a really cute romance with two of my favorite tropes at play: the fake relationship turned real and friends to lovers! Dani and Wes have been best friends since college. Strictly friends, although no one ever believes them. Dani really wants a promotion at her job, but notices that only "family" people have been getting them, so she comes up with an idea. Her company has a retreat coming up, which will be swarming with couples, so she asks Wes to pose as her fiance! He jumps at the idea, since he needs a date for his sister's wedding, where his ex will be a bridesmaid. Perfect.

I totally believed the super close friendship between Dani and Wes. They are so comfortable around each other and just know how to have fun. They've never tried to be more than friends, but now they're both seeing the other in a new light. Of course, they're each convinced that the other wants to remain only friends so nothing happens, except a few kisses for show (which felt awfully real!). The two also don't even live in the same state and their job prospects keep it that way, so it would never work out, right? Wrong! The ending is super cheesy, but it totally worked for them, so I'm okay with it!

Falling For Her Fiance was fun. I found myself smiling through most of it, because I just loved the interactions between Dani and Wes. I wanted to smoosh their faces together and lock them in a room so they could get their feelings out! My one complaint, is that I didn't like their "break up" at all. Wes is kind of impulsive and adventurous, and someone close to him follows his suggestion of doing something fun, yet dangerous and gets hurt. Somehow this makes him think he can never ever get married. What? Yeah, I don't get it either. It all worked out in the end though.
