Maddox leaves his hometown to move to New York City. After the pressure to marry his high school girlfriend overwhelms him he lies and blurts out that he’s gay. He flees to New York and doesn’t look back. Now, five years later, his ex his getting married and he finds himself invited. And dateless. The problem wouldn’t be too much except now he’s on a time crunch to find a “boyfriend” and fast.

Damon, an ex baseball player and aspiring sports agent, gets roped into being Maddox’s fake boyfriend (at his sisters behest) because Maddox might have some pull with a client he can set Damon up with.

48 Hours is all the time they have to spend together to pull off this lie. Should be easy… right?

Okay, now, this book might look cheesy but let me tell you it is also cheesy. I loved it though\, honestly. I’m a sucker for a good “Fake boyfriends” book. I love the “friends to lovers” troupe. I love “oh we just have to spend a weekend together no big deal” troupe. Honestly I’m a sucker for romantic books.

This book was just as perfect as I imagined it to be based on the cover image, title, and synopsis. I feel like if you’re expecting Charolette Bronte you should be steppin’. But if you’re expecting a gorgeously athletic sexually confused male and a brooding also athletic sexually stable man to spend time together and fall in love and have a wild ride doing it, then yes this is a book for you.

This book is a standalone though it is considered part of the “Fake Boyfriends” series. I haven’t read any of the others yet, I’m still too in love with Damon and Maddox.
