Opposites attract in this sizzling, feel-good, grumpy sunshine romance about a lively illustrator and the brooding billionaire she literally falls for. Eleanor Lark is an upbeat illustrator plagued by headaches and unruly strawberry-blond hair. After a grueling cross-country flight, she blacks out cold. The brooding stranger who sat next to her grumping his way through the flight catches Elle as she falls. Neither expects the sweet chaos that happens next. August Marshall is stonehearted, insanely rich, and a master of corporate cleanups with major baggage of his own. The last man alive who needs a media frenzy after his airport heroics steal headlines. But August has a plan—ask Elle to marry him so their trouble disappears. Elle almost faints again. They just met! But it’s hard to say no when August tells her she might be the key to saving a children’s book series she adores. And it’s even harder to remember it’s only pretend as sparks fly, hearts fall, and two perfect strangers try to remember life before make-believe…

I tried with this book, but the pacing was off so it felt like a slog. I got to 61% in the audiobook (around page 252). I'm not sure how it would have worked out if I had been reading it with my eyes instead of my ears. I think the pacing would have still felt off, but I did have issues with the narrators. I didn't like the voice the female narrator used for the MMC or the voice the male narrator used for the FMC at all. So it was annoying me and taking me out of the story.
I will say, I had an ARC of another book with a very similar premise (fake relationship, he's rich and she's not, Seattle) that I put off starting so I wouldn't get them confused. When I finally gave up on this one and picked the other up, I was instantly swept into the story. Do with that what you will...
0I liked this book..however I did not love this book.
There were some plot holes that did not make sense. The biggest is why a billionaire is not flying first class from NYC to Seattle.
Overall I understand this is a fake dating book however I feel like the relationship between the two was extremely forced and not in a we are pretending kinda way and not even enemies to lovers kinda way.
