FAKING IT WITH THE GUY NEXT DOOR is not a quirky small down neighbor story like I thought. It is a big city guy, small town girl business rival story and it took me a little while to warm up to Oliver and Marlowe as a couple. Individually, I loved their characters, but Oliver started out as the big corporate giant drying to drive out the small local business - and he had to rub it in. Marlowe was too nice by not saying what she should have said.
But hang on, because as things start to gel, a whole different set of pressures arise beyond small town matchmaking and gossiping town folk. We see Marlowe and Oliver’s true colors as people, not business owners, come through and I enjoyed the story.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
