Casey doesn’t have much luck in the dating department, so when her girlfriends ditch their girls only weekend for a couple’s retreat, she's forced to take desperate measures.

Refusing to be the only single one, she does what any quick-thinking girl would do:

She lies.

It was almost too easy hiring a stranger to pretend to be her hot, rich, successful boyfriend. What she didn’t plan on was him being hot, successful, and way too much trouble for her liking.

Jim was in a slump in his everyday life. He was bored and needed something to spice up his life. Accepting a gig to play the perfect boy toy was not what he had in mind, but it was too good to turn down.

What he didn't plan for was the smokin’ little spitfire who hired him. It’s a con, a job, a fraud. But the more she's in his presence, the more he realizes she may be more than just a ruse.
​
Three days at a lake house.

Two strangers who cause a lot of mayhem.

One little lie.

Lake Redstone by J.D. Hollyfield is a standalone romantic comedy! Oh man did this book make me laugh out loud SO MANY times! There were moments where I had to physically put my iPad down because I was laughing so hard! If you are a fan of romcoms like The Virgin Romance Novelist, The Chocolate Lovers series, and The Wild Ones series by CM Owens this is a must read for you! I promise, you will be giggling the whole way though!

That being said, this book follows the fake relationship trope. Our heroine Casey feels sort of like the 5th wheel in her friendships as her best friends are are happily married. Then to make matters worse what's supposed to be a girls only trip turns into a couple trip. So what does Casey do? She tells a little white lie to her friends and hires someone to be her fake boyfriend for the weekend. 

Enter JIM Bob. Or, just JIM. He's nothing like she was expecting- handsome, sweet, and totally into her despite their little lie. And the feeling he brings to her heart? Totally unexpected! But you can't help it when it comes to intense connections and chemistry and these two have it. 

Unfortunately, since Jim is starting to develop real feeling for his violent fake GF he wants to tell everyone that their relationship was a farce. Casey is too afraid to admit it though and it just may be the nail in the coffin for them. What's a girl to do? You'll have to read and find out!

If you are looking for a book that will have you laughing uncontrollably for HOURS then this is the book for you! I am continuously impressed with Hollyfield's stories but this may be my favorite one yet! The only reason I knocked it down a half star is because I felt like I needed a tiny bit more in the epilogue. You may agree with me if you read it!
