BOOK INFORMATION (Goodreads)
Danielle and Wes have been best friends since college, so when Wes needs a date for his sister’s wedding and Dani needs a partner for her company’s retreat, they devise the perfect plan: a fake engagement to get through both events unscathed. Adrenaline-junkie Wes can prove to both his ex and his family that he’s well and truly moved on, and serious-minded Dani can prove to her boss that she’s worthy of the promotion he seems to only want to give to a family-oriented employee.
But amid the fake swoons, fake kisses, and forced proximity, neither expects the very real feelings that develop. There’s nothing more dangerous than falling for your best friend…but what if the landing is worth the fall?

My Rating:
I found this book through a link on twitter and I have to say that I am not disappointed. I was looking for a light-hearted, easy read, and I found it!
We've all been there, don't lie. You've had that one best friend that you've always wondered...what if? Sure, in the beginning you're both like "We are just friends, what's everyone's problem??"
And then..sure enough..you start primping yourself more, noticing things about them that you never noticed before. You just don't want to be the one to make the first move because you don't want to ruin what you already have. Because no matter what, this person is like coming home.
Dani and Wes are no exception to the above statements. Dani and Wes have been friends since college, brought together by their love for all things history. But they truly were just friends. Besides, Dani is in Arkansas and Wes is back home in North Carolina. Let me tell you..Long distance relationships just never work, right?! Dani has been trying to get a promotion, but believes since her boyfriend left her, she doesn't have a chance. Her boss wants family oriented people. Wes needs a date to his younger sisters wedding. He's tired of these looks his family gives him about his ex-fiance, Sophie, especially since she's in the bridal party! So they come up with this devious plan without fully thinking it through. I mean, These best friends can pull this off, they know everything about each other. But once Dani get's home, they both start to notice each other in a different light. Dani realizes how Wes has always been there for her and vice versa. Wes started really to take note on how Dani just understood him and it..
After Dani lands in North Carolina, you're continously thinking. This is where they finally tell each other!!! You get all excited....and then....
If you like cute, yet sometimes infuriating romance novels, this definitely is a good read.
"No one seemed to get that they simply loved each other without being in love."
And then..sure enough..you start primping yourself more, noticing things about them that you never noticed before. You just don't want to be the one to make the first move because you don't want to ruin what you already have. Because no matter what, this person is like coming home.
"..and the fact that Wes was here--It felt like coming home."
Dani and Wes are no exception to the above statements. Dani and Wes have been friends since college, brought together by their love for all things history. But they truly were just friends.

Dani realizes how Wes has always been there for her and vice versa. Wes started really to take note on how Dani just understood him and it..
"..wasn't like he'd failed to notice that Dani was naturally pretty, her Mexican ethnicity giving her an exotic look he'd seen plenty of dudes drool over."
Too many times you just want to scream and yell "JUST TELL HIM ALREADY!" or her, depending on who you were following at the time. Then it comes down to the nitty gritty..you think..yes, this is it. They are finally getting together and one (No...I won't say which one..) finally is ready to tell the other, right? And you're all giddy and emotional..and you so do not get the outcome you were expecting and now you're mad, yelling..
And while your emotions are raging and you're telling yourself how you would never be that pig-headed. You're mad..at both parties, but secretly wanting them to somehow pull it off. But will they? Guess you'll have to read it to find out!
This was such a great read. No I wasn't really "fangirling" per se. But I really did enjoy the relationship between Dani and Wes. Wes is the impromptu, impulsive, exciting one; whereas Dani was more of the level headed, over-thinker. This is why they work so well together! I really wish there was more of an ending. It seemed like it just sort of..well stopped. I'm not saying things weren't resolved..they were, but there was just..no meat to the resolution. I wanted more! Of course, that could have been the author's devious plan!
Happy Reading!
