The side characters in this were really fun. That being said, her tendency to blurt her inner thoughts was really adorable, and I loved how cute Dyson thought it was as well. I feel like this could have been done a bit more smoothly if her thoughts she was accidentally verbalizing were “thought out” on the page in italics in the first person, as you sometimes see. So if she thought she needed to jump on his pogo stick (not a real example, lol), what came out of her mouth? “I need to jump on his pogo stick” I assume? But some of the things don’t translate so directly, and it just jolted me out of the story each time.
I didn’t love how Lexi’s tendency to accidentally verbalizer her inner thoughts was done – I was never quite sure what she actually SAID as the book is written in the third person.
Lexi and Dyson are both a bit of a hot mess, and I love that about them. Plus who doesn’t love a spot of fake dating? I also stan a hero who reads romance novels! Yes! I’m going to admit, I picked this up because of the yummy abs on the cover. * Except bend too far, and something breaks. * Realize bending one tiny rule can’t be that bad, can it? * Remember, this is fake dating, even though his very talented, very real lips are doing some sexy things you definitely like. Seriously, they call him One Night O’Neil. Not a Strip-O-Gram Fireman to help him with a bet. * Figure out how you, in fact, agreed to fake dating Mr. * Reschedule the fire safety inspection you 100 percent failed because of said humiliation. * Die in a raging blaze of humiliation when the super-hot and very delicious fireman waiting in your office is not in fact the strip-o-gram birthday present you suspected.
