The author has a writing style that I really enjoy (as evidenced by how many of her books I’ve read) and she paints a believable picture of Leo having had a crush on Lily for years while she’s been interested in his brother and the situation coming to a head. Tried and true romance themes where you know exactly how things are going to end but still enjoy the ride along the way. And the fake relationship/fake girlfriend trope. Could she have been pining for the wrong brother all along?Īh, the ‘I’m-in-love-with-your-twin-brother, can-you-help-me-attract-him’ trope. In fact, she’s starting to feel a lot more for him than she’d ever imagined. But things go awry when Lily finds that in close proximity, Leo isn’t quite so annoying. The plan is to go on the trip and have an amicable break-up when it’s over and they’ve accomplished their goals. When Leo comes to Lily with a proposition to pose as his girlfriend on a family vacation, it’s supposed to be a win-win situation he’ll get out of awkward questions about his break-up with his last girlfriend and she’ll get to spend time with Elias in hopes that he’ll finally fall for her. In contrast to her feelings for Elias, Leo has been a constant thorn in Lily’s side. Their families have been friends for many years and she’s grown up with him and his twin brother Leo.

Lily Carmichael has loved Elias Magnusson forever. Her first novella for 2022 is Breakaway, the start of another new series. She’s a prolific romance author, putting out several novellas every year.

While they sadly discontinued that option a few years ago, I know from having looked at it that Noelle Adams is at the top of my list. There used to be a feature on Goodreads (which I use to track all my reading) where you could see a list of your most read authors.
