– Grayson –

Going dateless to my brother’s wedding? Not an option—at least, not according to my mom, who’s made it her life’s mission to remind me I’m still single. Enter Abby, my sister’s best friend and the only girl in my hometown who understands my mom’s brand of chaos. All we have to do is act like we’re into each other during the week I’m in Crescent Pass, and then I can escape back to my life in Seattle.

Except, Abby’s not who I remember. She’s funny, easy to be around, and beautiful in a way I can’t ignore. And when things take a turn toward heated territory… I might not be pretending anymore.

– Abby –

Here’s the thing about unrequited love: it’s quiet, it’s painful, and it definitely doesn’t include your longtime crush asking you to be his fake wedding date. But that’s exactly what happens when Grayson—the guy I’ve secretly loved for years—needs a stand-in to survive his mom’s matchmaking schemes.

I have only a week with him before he returns home, so I shouldn’t get my hopes up. But stupid me puts my heart on the line, wanting everything but too afraid to ask for it. The closer we get, the more he looks at me in that way that makes my heart pound, I can’t help but wonder… What if this could be something real?

Review:
4 Stars

This is the third book in the series. It's an enjoyable read. I loved the small town setting. I could easily see myself being friends with Abby. She is crafty, works at a library, and she has a cat. Grayson is back home for his brother's wedding. He needs a date to said wedding to get his matchmaking mother off his back. His great idea is for his sister's best friend to be his fake date. As these two spend time with one another over the course of wedding week sparks start flying. Grayson sees her in a whole new light, but Abby's crush on Grayson is still going strong. How can it work when they live so far apart? Grayson and Abby were so cute together. Grayson is going to have to take some choices if the future he is starting to see come to life. There is a good sense of humor with plenty of heart and heat. A nice book to get lost in.
