Release Date: October 28
After Callie’s debut romance novel is an unexpected hit, she thinks nothing can surprise her—until the man of her dreams seems to walk out of the book and into her life.
The last thing Callie Richardson expected was her debut romance novel, Ready to Fall, to top the charts. Nor did she think her readers would become obsessive over her book’s hero, Hudson Newman.
Life couldn’t get any stranger. But then her assistant announces that Hudson Newman wants to see her. She’s convinced her best friend is playing a joke on her, because no one in her office knows she’s written a book. Plus, the name is fictional, a mashup of famous actors.
So when the stunning man steps into her office, she thinks she must be dreaming. Except this Hudson Newman wears a scowl rather than a model-worthy smile. After confirming his name is in fact the same as her character’s, he proceeds to tell Callie that her book’s success has turned his orderly world upside down.
Not only that, but her readers have set out to make Hudson the hero of their hoped-for romances. After weeks of receiving gifts—from candy to lingerie to things that make Callie blush—Hudson has had enough and tells Callie she needs to get her overzealous fans off his back. He smiles smugly and gives her two choices—delist the book or date him.
That was the moment Callie found herself in a fake relationship with a real-life book boyfriend.
Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟
"Hudson leaned down and cupped her cheek with his large, warm palm. Callie's nerves sparked to life. She'd never felt such a connection before."
When Callie Richardson finally plucks up the courage - with much cajoling from her bestie - to publish her first novel, never in her wildest dreams did she expect it to become a bestselling hit. Nor did she expect her dream hero to materialise in the flesh.
"He couldn't remember the last time a woman had that effect on him. If he had to guess, it would be never."
Hudson Newman's well-ordered life is thrown into disarray when he's no longer able to go to his favourite shop due to trending on social media, and he is inundated with a multitude of inappropriate gifts from strange women. When he confronts the author, his plans to get her to delist her novel are derailed when he finds himself demanding that they embark on a fake relationship to save him from unwanted female attention. Neither is looking for a relationship and neither is expecting love to come knocking.
"You make me feel things that I've never even considered letting myself feel. Want things I didn't know I wanted. I can see a future with you."
This was an entertaining read as we follow Callie and Hudson's fake-to-real relationship. Hudson is pretty swoonworthy and is a perfect male specimen. He's hardworking, successful, and a doting uncle. Callie is equally hardworking but also very guarded with her heart. She had her reasons for shying away from relationships but, seriously, no woman could resist Hudson Newman for long! This was a fun reason - different from my usual - but enjoyable nonetheless.
