Publisher's summary
Phoenix Park is the man I fantasize about...hitting with my car, that is.
He's rich. He's sexy. He's the absolute worst. But after I fall prey to an internet scam and lose every last penny in my account (please don’t ask), it’s Phoenix who swoops in with an offer I can’t refuse. I’ll marry him for the summer so he can inherit the family company from his dying grandmother, and in return, he’ll drop a hefty sum of money into my bank account.
Buy me a pair of sweatpants with GOLD DIGGER across the butt, because I’m just desperate enough to agree.
Our arrangement is only supposed to be for a few months, until Phoenix’s poor grandmother passes. I can pretend for that long. I can stop insulting him long enough to force a few smiles and some lovey-dovey glances. But with every touch we share, with every kiss we fake, I find the walls around my heart beginning to crack—letting in feelings I'm not prepared for.
And when Phoenix’s grandmother makes a miraculous recovery, leaving us stuck indefinitely in this charade of holy matrimony? That’s when I know I’m really in trouble.

Story
Falling in love is easy. Finding the right guy to spend happily ever after with... that's the hard part. But I have a foolproof plan. I'm taking the tropes that work in romance books and applying them to my love life. Only one bed? Never fails. Caring for someone when they're sick? A classic. Who did this to you? Seals the deal every single time. So long, loneliness. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. But the more I try to force romance, the more feelings naturally progress with the one man who's off limits: Walker Collins, the guy I've had a secret crush on since 7th grade.

Story
The bad boy and the golden girl have traded places….I’m back in Harvest Hollow after ten years to prove a point and to even a few scores. I’ve opened a new bar, and anyone expecting the old sweet and shy Jolie McGraw to be running it is in for a shock. I’m not the only one who’s changed: when the sheriff comes to tell me I’m the prime suspect in the most ridiculous crime in town history, it’s none other than Lucas Cole, the former star of my teenage stress dreams, wearing the badge.

Story
It’s not stalking if he’s your hot neighbor…right? At least, that’s what I tell myself when Adrian Carter moves in next door. His scowl should make me want to run in the other direction, but when I catch him smothering a smile around me, it makes me want to get to know him more. And when Adrian starts to open up, I find myself falling in love with the cinnamon roll center hidden beneath his gruff exterior. But between my emotional baggage and his aversion to relationships, it’s looking like we’ll never be more than neighborly.

There is nothing like hiding a secret identity from your roommate besties to complicate... everything. And when they decide I need a love life makeover, I can't tell them why I don't have time for their schemes. Retirement home nurse by day, lead singer of a rock band by night. Not on the schedule: Men. I'd rather cuddle with Bernice, the hangry boa next door. I can't think of an excuse fast enough to get out of betting my prime parking space against them finding me true love, but luckily, they pick the worst possible guy for me.

Oh, and correctly filed visa paperwork. Due to administrative error, Eli is about to lose everything. Unless he can find someone to marry him in the next thirty days. He might have the perfect woman in mind. The only problem? He'd like to marry her for real, not simply for legal purposes.

Shaw Daniels is the bane of my existence. Always has been. Always will be. When we were kids, he annoyed me to no end by being good at everything. He didn’t have to study or really even try. Meanwhile, I tried too much and still lost to him. Then when we were teenagers, our rivalry became twisted. He started sabotaging all my relationships. I retaliated by doing the same to him. Now, we’re adults and we should be able to move on. But when I become a physical therapist for his professional hockey team, it seems as though we can’t let go of our rival tendencies.

I, Lanie Davenport, am going to be the subject of a scientific study. Do I know what this study is for? Not exactly. But I know it means I have to live with a stranger for twelve weeks and do a video diary once a week, answering the researchers’ questions.

Confession: I'm attracted to my student's dad. Let me give you Tyler Dixon's resume: thoughtful, manly, father of the year, widower, ridiculously attractive (basically the opposite of a dad bod). This might sound like good news for someone like me—someone who dreams of getting married and becoming a mom—but it's not. Getting involved with a parent is grounds for immediate removal at my school, and right now, my fragile heart can't handle being fired.

Kate Fletcher is my kryptonite. She's also my best friend. Former best friend? I'm not sure what you call it when we grew up attached at the hip and then she left Silver Creek (and me) to travel the world. The important thing is: Kate is back. (Temporarily.) And I'm still in love with her. (Permanently.) But something is different now. The attraction doesn't seem one-sided. I don't think I'm imagining the heat in Kate's eyes or the chemistry crackling between us.

It was just one date. My friend told me I needed more fun in my life, so I reluctantly said yes. Fun wasn’t exactly in my wheelhouse. After watching my own mother’s love life implode time and time again, it’s only natural that I have a few rules to protect myself. Actually, it’s just one rule: avoid relationships with men so I don’t get attached. This guy was just a warm body in a chair. I was here for the basketball game. I was absolutely NOT here for my date. Or the kiss cam. Or the kiss. Or the impromptu evening with the one man who seems bent on throwing my tidy world off of its axis.

Trying not to fall in love can be…challenging. One might think that, as an ER nurse, I live a full and exciting life. If you think this, you are sadly mistaken. I’m pretty sure there's hardly a soul more boring than me. Ask my best friend, she’ll agree. Which is why she's come up with a 30-day plan to transform me from boring Lucy to, well…the real Lucy. The Lucy before the accident. Each day, I have to complete some ridiculous challenge, usually involving something embarrassing or new. That includes getting my coworker, Dr. Graham Shackwell, involved.

In a single soul-destroying moment, I discover my husband has an entire other family.

It’s not stalking if he’s your hot neighbor…right? At least, that’s what I tell myself when Adrian Carter moves in next door. His scowl should make me want to run in the other direction, but when I catch him smothering a smile around me, it makes me want to get to know him more. And when Adrian starts to open up, I find myself falling in love with the cinnamon roll center hidden beneath his gruff exterior. But between my emotional baggage and his aversion to relationships, it’s looking like we’ll never be more than neighborly.

Story
One little white lie—that's all it took. Now I'm suddenly having to fake-date my work nemesis to get through a week at a Vermont Christmas lodge with my family. The problem? I can't stand Miles Taylor. Not only that, but I don't date people I work with. But I can handle it. I've had practice faking my emotions for years. So it shouldn't matter that Miles never lets me get away with anything. And that he happens to boil my blood hotter than a steaming pot of wassail. So when he throws his annoying grin my way or forces me on dates he knows I'll hate, I'll just grit my teeth and smile.

Paradise is supposed to be a short-term stop. Until Thor shows up. Okay, not the real Thor. But replace the hammer with a dog who won't stop barking, and Adam Thomsen is definitely long-haired Thor's doppelganger. Too bad for me, he's decided I'm the villain in his story. Too bad for him, his scowl is no match for my super-powered positivity.

Story
My name is Jupiter Reeves, and I am a fraud. It's not that what's written about me isn't true. I am the greatest third baseman of my generation, possibly ever. I am surly and unapproachable. I do have a constant scowl with an armor of tattoos. To the outside world, I play my role as the bad boy of baseball like I was born to do it. But when the doors are closed, and you boil it down, I'm nothing more than a man who lost his heart too young, with no prospect of getting it back... especially as I still have no idea where its current owner is.

Will read the others!
I love a cute seasonal series where the books are interconnected but standalone, and written by different authors. That’s what we have with the Falling for Summer Series. They all take place on a fictional island called Sunset Harbor off the west coast of Florida. There are no cars there and the books have a MAP, which you can see in my photo. I started with Beauty and the Beach by Gracie Ruth Mitchell. If they go on the order of publication date, this is the fifth out of seven. Some names are mentioned that I bet are in the other books, but they don’t spoil, and if anything, made me curious to read the other books.
Phoenix Park’s grandmother is newly requiring that the inheritor of her business be legally and lawfully wed. He has PLANS for this business and is the best one for the job, so he sets out to find a wife, until his grandmother’s death do they part.
Holland (who he has nicknamed Amsterdam) is his late best friend’s little sister and his prank partner. They DO NOT get along. Unfortunately, she may be his only option.
This is a cute book and I will definitely check the other ones out. I know everyone is getting into fall reads but it is still 70-80s and sunny where I live so this works just fine!
I wasn’t super into narrator Rylee Kuberra’s voice. It sounded fake and unnatural which is weird of me to say since it probably is her actual voice. I don’t know anyone with John Rogers’ sound either, but I really liked it. It works well with this book, he is SO funny when talking about how much he hates Holland, and his grandma voice is excellent. I hope to hear more from him.
4/5 stars

A heartfelt and funny Rom-Com!
“Phoenix Park is the man I fantasize about… hitting with my car, that is.”
Holland fell for a scam and her entire bank account was drained. Desperate for money, she’s picking up every extra shift and side job she can to rebuild her financial situation.
Phoenix is successful and wealthy, but he’s been told he has to get married in order to inherit the family business he’s been running for years. The only person he can think to make an offer of marriage to is his best friend’s sister and number one rival, Holland. Lucky for him Holland needs some extra cash right now - so it’s a win-win for both of them.
Can they stop pranking each other and bantering long enough to convince Phoenix’s family the marriage is real?
What you’ll find:
Rivals to lovers
Pranks
Marriage of convenience
Forced proximity
Grumpy grandma
A contract
Chocolate dipped strawberries
A tie pull
The first kiss
The photo shoot
Healing
Forgiveness
This is book 5 of the Falling for Summer series set on the fictional island of Sunset Harbor. It’s been such a fun summer getting to know the beloved cast of characters that are a part of this series.
“If you kiss me now, you’re mine.”
This is a fun Rom-Com, but it also tackles a tragedy that Phoenix and Holland were apart of years ago. Watching the healing process they both go through and their defensive walls come down with each other was one of my favorite parts!
“I’m not a romantic man, Holland. I don’t buy flowers or write poetry. And I’ve never been shown what a healthy marriage looks like. But you’re mine. I’ll keep you safe; I’ll treat you well.”

An excellent summer read!
I loved this story! It was exactly what I was looking for. If you’re a fan of fun romcoms with great chemistry and a dose of depth, pick this up! It was the perfect recipe for a great romcom. As someone who doesn’t always enjoy romcoms, this hit it out of the park!

Chemistry
Miss Mitchell writes character chemistry so well. It’s slow burn at its finest- with just the right amount of spice.
