About this ebook

A sweet fake-dating romance about second chances, daring choices, and the spark that changes everything. 💕

After wasting ten years on a man who never proposed, Gina Hall is done with guys who won’t commit. So when her friend dares her to go out with Ethan—kind, steady, and totally husband material—she says yes. He seems like everything she’s been looking for.

But while planning a farewell party for office charmer Chris Bradley, Gina finds herself drawn into an unexpected game of Truth or Dare—and ends up fake-dating the very guy she once wrote off as unserious. Chris is flirty, yes, but also thoughtful, fiercely loyal, and unexpectedly easy to open up to.

What started as a joke starts to feel like the realest relationship Gina’s ever had. Now she has to choose: stick to the plan, or risk everything on the one man who was never part of it.

From a New York Times bestselling author, don’t miss this flirty and feel-good romance about second chances, mixed signals, and the spark you never saw coming in THE PRETEND PROMISE.

A stupid book. I personally don't believe in marriage and I think it is a waste of time and effort. The main character is fixated with marriage and will only settle down with someone who also believes in this stupid and old practice

After the breakup of a ten-year relationship, Gina is done with men who won't commit. Unfortunately, that includes her co-worker Chris, who she has crazy chemistry with. Her new roommate sets her up with Ethan, who is gorgeous, polite, and ready to settle down. Could he be Mr. Right? Or does Chris have potential after all? You have to feel for Gina. Her head's in a bad spot after staying in the wrong relationship for so long. That's probably why it's so hard for her to see what's right in front of her face, if only she has the courage to look. It's a lovely moment when she finally realizes that she can have it all with a man who's perfect for her. This is a funny, sweet, emotional novella that will fill your heart. Thanks, Booksprout, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
