Sweet story
Off the Rails is a sweet short story that I enjoyed reading. Makes me wish that I loved something like Gwen loves her right whales.

Description
When a high-stakes business trip turns into a frantic race against a derailed train, two strangers find themselves thrust into an unexpected alliance. Forced to navigate a nightmare commute together, they decide that the best way to handle the pressure—and bypass the chaos of their shared predicament—is to lean into a spontaneous, temporary charade.
What begins as an impulsive tactical decision to escape the frustration of their travel woes quickly spirals into something far more complicated. As the confines of their journey shrink and the hours tick by, the barrier between their fabricated rapport and genuine chemistry starts to dissolve. They soon discover that the most dangerous part of their trip isn’t the stalled locomotive, but the way they are beginning to fall for one another.
Rachel Lacey delivers a punchy, high-energy romance that wastes no time getting to the heart of the matter. Perfect for readers who love the fake-dating trope turned on its head, this story captures the thrill of an instant connection born from frustration. It is a sweet, steamy, and fast-paced escape that proves sometimes the best detours lead exactly where your heart needs to go.

sweet and spicy novella
Cute, short and sweet, this was a very enjoyable novella. Gwen and Mallory were likeable characters as their very short fake romance turned into something more, and the story wrapped up well at the end. Well written, as all of Rachael Lacy's stories are, with quick pacing. My only complaint was that the sex scene ended up being a decent portion of the book.

This was a really enjoyable romance novella from start to finish. Both characters were really sweet and there was good chemistry between them. Also, loved the fake sex scene. Very hot! Highly recommend for a quick, feel good read.
