Short Summary of the book:

Being an anime lover/geek, Olivia has little chance of finding someone to fit. However, being a football fan and sports anchor who is an anime lover/geek is even harder to find a partner for. And if you’ve ever heard of foot-in-mouth, that might throw some spanners in the works too.

I enjoyed the entire book.

My favourite bits in the book:

What books could this be compared to and why?

The books to compare this one to are romance stories with some humour too.

Recommendation:

In summary, I would recommend this book for the following readers:

If you like romance, this book may be the book for you.

I look forward to reading more books by this author.

Book Description by Author:

Fake it ‘til you make it...

Olivia counts herself lucky to have a steady job in graphic design. She's focused on climbing the ladder, but her mom keeps hounding her about finding a man. In an effort to keep her from matchmaking, Olivia lies and says she's seeing someone. Now her mom insists she introduce this boyfriend to the family at the big reunion, but how is she supposed to bring someone who doesn't exist?

After his last girlfriend betrayed him, Jake wants nothing to do with relationships. Most women look at him and only see the jock. The thing is, he has a nerdy secret: his love of anime. He can’t jeopardize his reputation as a sports anchor. After meeting Olivia at a work picnic, he’s completely smitten. When Olivia comes to him, worried about showing up dateless to the family reunion, he offers to stand in as her fake boyfriend – but he wishes it were real.

Can a smart, ambitious woman, and a closet otaku-jock fake it long enough to make a lasting connection?
