Sometimes fake dating your ex can turn into a second chance. When Denzel “Denz” Carter’s workaholic father and CEO of 24 Carter Gold unexpectedly announces his retirement, the competition is on for who will become his successor. To convince his judgmental family members that Denz is capable of commitment he impulsively lies about being in a serious relationship. Problem is the last serious relationship he was in hung him high and dry after leaving the continent. Now Denz needs to find a fake boyfriend to bring to family functions and seal the deal on the CEO position. To do so he enlists the help of his best friend and roommate, Jamie. Someone his family already accepts in their inner circle. But when his BFF is a no-show, Denz is forced to turn to the last person he wants to be in a pretend (or any) relationship Braylon, the man who broke his heart. Braylon’s sudden reappearance in Denz’s life turns everything upside down. But apparently, he needs Denz’s connections to the mayor to win his own promotion and Denz is currently up a creek without a paddle. So, they strike a deal. It’s all business, but between the funny texts and the confusing kisses soon enough Denz is struggling to separate business from the affairs of his heart. In Julian Winters's I think They Love You, sometimes fake dating your way to success can mean finding the second chance at love you've needed all along.

I Think They Love You is a second chance that is a perfect lighthearted romcom.
This book was such a wonderful delight that had lighthearted and swoon worthy moments that will make your heart melt.
I also loved the themes of this book and how it was balanced with humor.
All the characters was amazing and felt real with their flaws and personalities.
Denz and Braylon was so amazing together. Even when they weren’t together in beginning, you can still feel how much they loved each other in the book.
Both of them had really high expectations and pressures on themselves from their family and from their peers but they still found a way to put their love for one another first.
Overall, I loved this book so much and the audiobook was amazing, it felt like a romcom movie.
Julian Winters wrote such a beautiful second chance romance. Denz is such a beautifully flawed human, and, when he runs into his ex Bray again, he’s trying to figure out who exactly this man is now that years have passed. They fake a relationship to prove how serious Denz is as a person to his family, and the rest is history. So many raw, real emotions across the entire spectrum were written on the page in honestly one of the most perfect ways. The epilogue was a fantastic wrap up, and the last line is my favorite.
