Talia Hibbert
She wants a fake relationship. He needs something real.If there’s one thing Rae can’t stand, it’s pity. She’s forty, frazzled, and fed up—so attending an awards ceremony alone while her ex swans about with his new wife? Not an option. To avoid total humiliation, Rae needs a date of her own. And her young, hot-as-hell new best friend is the perfect candidate… Zach Davis, king of casual hookups, has a secret: the notorious womaniser craves emotional connection, and anonymous encounters leave him feeling hollow. After years of performance, Zach’s desperate to be himself. So why does he agree to play Rae’s fake boyfriend? And why does it feel so easy? When the line between pretence and desire blurs, Zach’s forced to face an unexpected truth: there’s nothing phoney about his need for Rae. But the jaded divorcée’s been hurt by playboy men before. Can a weekend of faking it prove that Zach’s for real? The Ravenswood Series#1: A Girl Like Her#1.5: Damaged Goods#2: Untouchable#3: That Kind of Guy

"4.5 stars <br/><br/>this book had nothing but bangers<br/><br/>banger list includes:<br/>- fantasy author fmc<br/>- black fmc<br/>- black fmc with scars on her face<br/>- fake dating<br/>- reverse age gap (its 12 years i think but hes well into his twenties so its not weird)<br/>- reformed playboy mmc<br/>- dog mom and not in a cringe dog in a purse millennial way<br/>- demisexual mmc<br/>- amazing found family of outcasts (from the previous books) <br/>- so much yearning<br/>- fmc sticking it to her crappy ex husband<br/><br/>and also lots of discussions of consent and how men are often treated as though they always want sex, its never going to be a no, and how the mmc essentially harmed himself by having a lot of relations before he realized he was on the asexual spectrum because he felt like he SHOULD want sex or that it was what was expected of him.<br/><br/>i highly recommend this series!!"

"This was solidly a four star read up until the last 20%. The lack of communication/miscommunication trope in this series was too much for me"

"This one reminds me of Rebekah Weatherspoon's books in a great way. She often includes less discussed sexualities, in this case demisexuality. Really appreciate that kind of diversity in my reading, and I'm glad to see it from Talia Hibbert."
