Description

Olivia Barnes is a high-powered Manhattan wedding planner who treats love like a business transaction—mostly because she hasn’t trusted her own heart since a devastating betrayal left her at the altar. Tired of her family’s relentless prying into her non-existent love life, she concocts a desperate plan: hire a total stranger to play "Sailor," the imaginary girlfriend she invented to keep them at bay. Enter Blair Davis, a sharp-witted, adventurous soul looking for an escape from her mundane routine. The premise is simple: accompany a tightly wound, perfectionist planner to a Maryland farm for a weekend wedding. The challenge? Keep the act convincing without letting the facade crumble. As the lines between performance and reality begin to blur, Liv finds her carefully constructed walls tumbling down. Between the rustic setting and an eccentric, heartwarming family, the fake dating arrangement turns into something dangerously real. But just as they start to find their rhythm, a web of hidden secrets threatens to sink their newfound connection. With sizzling chemistry, laugh-out-loud moments, and a cast of charming side characters, this sapphic rom-com explores whether two people can move past their guarded pasts to rewrite their own love stories.

Good book

I know the title of this review is lackluster but this author is just effortlessly good. Right amount of smut (otherwise whats a romance novel), she always has great grammar and punctuation which so many ebook authors lack. The characters are well thought out and the pace of the book is easy. She just does this genre right that all I can say when I see her listed as a author is of course this is going to be a good read!

Good book

Lise has done it again this book has all the feelings. Olivia makes a fake girlfriend for her sister's wedding, but she never thought it through. When Blake over hears the conversations she wants the job, but she lies about her true identity. Things get heated and well read the book because it wonderful and delightful.

Nicely Done

I truly enjoyed reading this book. I have to say that I haven’t read anything by the author in a long time and this was refreshing. I’m more of a fan of a plot driven romance that almost reads like a novel with medium to high spice which hadn’t been my experience with this particular author. What I loved about this book was that it was very much plot, driven, intriguing, funny/humorous, and the spice was exactly appropriate for the plot. I actually really did like both of the main characters as well and could root for them because of the foundational work that was laid. I love a good wedding story line and I have to say Liv’s heartbreak tail was a doozy! This is definitely worth the read.

The Sailor Situation

Lise Gold has done it again! A fun fake-dating, billionaire vs. ice-queen romance. I devoured this in a day! Liv needs a date - a fake girlfriend- to her sister's wedding. Blair needs something to do to keep her distracted from her directionless life. So why not team up for the weekend? They both end up getting more than they bargained for 🥰
