Synopsis

Fake dating my enemy was never supposed to feel so real…

MIA
My ex-boyfriend screwed me over and now the future of my matchmaking agency is in danger. I’d do anything to save it. Even if it involves fake dating my childhood best friend, hot Hollywood action movie star Liam Stone.

With his good looks, charm and acting skills, he’d be ideal.

There’s just one problem. We hate each other.

But the arrangement would help me win the Matchmaker of the Year award (being single doesn’t exactly work in my favour) and scoop the cash prize and publicity that would save my business.

It’s purely professional. Two months and we’re done.

Except when Liam kisses me, nothing about the fireworks between us feels fake…

LIAM
I’m no stranger to kiss-and-tell stories. But when I get caught up in a sex scandal that threatens to end my career, I fly to London to escape the drama.

I never expected to bump into her. 

Yeah, Mia’s smart and annoyingly attractive, but when she asks me to be her fake boyfriend, my first thought is hell no. Not after what happened before.

Then I realise pairing up with her would help shake off my playboy image and restore my reputation.

Dating Mia will be a challenge, but pretending is my forte.

Except when we’re forced to share a bed, the feelings that are supposed to be pretend become all too real…

My Review

When Olivia Spring got in touch with me to see if I wanted to read her latest book ‘The Match Faker’ I just couldn’t resist!

Mia has her own matchmaking business, but she’s not so lucky when it comes to her own love life. When the opportunity comes along where she needs a partner she asked her childhood best friend and actor Liam to help, though she hasn’t spoke to him for years.

I flew through this story I really didn’t want it to end. I haven’t read a book before where the main character works as a matchmaker. I was just totally rooting for both Mia and Liam from the beginning.

Liam has his own backstory too which was interesting. I had to get straight onto reading another book by Olivia Spring as I was sad to finish this one! If you want a book full of witty banter, fake dating and love then this is for you 🥰🩷
