Fake Fiancé (A Second Chance Office Romance) by Amy McKinley – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Fake Fiancé: A Second Chance Office Romance by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this heartwarming contemporary romance by Amy McKinley. The second chance at love, office romance storyline was both realistic and touching and I read this book in two settings as I was completely engaged with the characters and the story from start to finish. Adeline Rossi has a dream job lined up in Italy, far from her home and she has high career aspirations. However, when she arrives in the ‘city of love’, she finds that her new boss is not very welcoming and although he is hot he’s also grumpy. Meanwhile, business tycoon Stone Crenshaw is being plagued by unsettling dreams and can not wait for the renovations on his historic hotel to come to an end. Complicating things further for Stone is the fact that he feels an instant attraction to his new hire, Adeline, who seems to be somewhat accident prone. Adeline suddenly has the role of fake fiancé added to her list of responsibilities when Stone proclaims they are engaged in order to help his business. The news of their engagement is not welcomed by everyone and when obstacles threaten to split the couple up they realise that their fake relationship might not be so fake after all. Stone then has to decide whether he will cross a professional line or risk loosing Adeline for good. This is a wonderfully written romance with two very likeable and relatable main characters in Adeline and Stone. McKinley really brings the characters to life with her descriptive narrative. The story flows well and I was fully immersed in the story, so much so I was cheering Stone and Adeline on hoping they would get their happy ever after. A great read.
