A Real Good Lie by Kate Hawthorne

 


Amazon Link   - Available in KU  





Callahan McMillian - age 31

Callahan and Jace couldn’t be less compatible, but they've been set up for the weekend and there's no going back. Callahan's pride is on the line, his mouth is all over Jace, and they need to put in the performance of a lifetime if they’re going to make their very fake relationship look convincing. To sell the lie, Jace and Callahan reach an agreement: real attraction, pretend emotion. But when make believe turns into making love, the only people they’re fooling are themselves.





My Rating - 4.5 Stars!


A Real Good Lie is a great fake dating romance by Kate Hawthorne. 

This entire story had me intrigued, from start to finish. 

Callahan and Jace are complete opposites, but work together so well. I always enjoy a good fake romance and this one is just that. There's plenty of attraction, but overall, it's a fun slow burn for the two. 

In a nice twist, the two share a kiss one night and then are set up as fake dates a couple weeks later. Fun and yet totally awkward!

I love everything about the way the two are attracted to each other and are intrigued by one another. Seeing them get to know one another and slowly fall for each other is totally enjoyable. I like that they have some obstacles along the way, making for a nice, well earned relationship.

I love the men together and enjoy their journey. And damn, the sex is smoking hot! Just damn!

The writing is great, with two well developed characters and an enjoyable storyline. The backgrounds for both men truly establish who they currently are, helping to make these flawed men realistic. I always appreciate getting dual povs, so yay!

A Real Good Lie is definitely worth a read the next time you're in the mood for a fake boyfriend romance. Kate Hawthorne does a great job including some fluff into this sweet and sizzling romance.
