Dating Games: A Fake Relationship Romance Kindle Edition

by T.K. Leigh (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 4,664 ratings
My rules for being a Manhattan billionaire's fake girlfriend... No kissing. No fooling around. No falling in love. What can possibly go wrong?

Note to self: When your boyfriend dumps you on your thirtieth birthday, it's probably not the smartest idea to drink so much that you wake up in the same bed as the mysterious hottie wearing the gorgeous suit who you noticed sitting across the bar.

The only silver lining in my obvious lack of judgment is the promise of never seeing Mr. Suit again, not in a city the size of New York.

Or so I thought, until a story I'm working on about the country's most sought-after and elusive escort lands me in the same café as Mr. Suit.

So I do what any self-respecting woman of my age would do in my shoes... Try to ignore him.

But he won't let me.

Instead he makes a proposition that leaves me questioning whether I need to have my ears checked.

Be his fake girlfriend for a summer of wealth and excess in the Hamptons. In return, he'll help me win back my boyfriend's heart.

Juvenile? You bet.
Effective? Could be.
Bad idea? Most likely.

But what do I have to lose?
Apparently, a lot more than I originally bargained for.

Let the games begin...

Dating Games is a standalone modern retelling of Cinderella meeting her billionaire Prince Charming. If you like a sassy heroine, a sinful hero, and a whole lot of laughs, then you'll love this fake relationship romance.

    Evie and Julian’s story will grab you and won’t let you go. Evie has just been dumped by her boyfriend of 12 yrs. Yeah…I thought the same thing…WTH. But she wants to do anything she can to make Trevor see that he made a mistake. He broke off their relationship on her 30th birthday. She goes to a bar with her two best friends, has a few drinks, then spills her story to the whole bar. She spots a guy in a suit who listened to her story, then somehow ends up thinking she had a one night stand and runs for the hills. A little time passes and then they are striking up a bargain. You will love how this story unfolds as Julian gives Evie back her confidence in spades. She also shows him that there’s more to life than the one he’s been living. I wish I could give this more than 5 stars!

    Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2019

    What an astonishingly beautiful love story!!!! Dating Games was the perfect way to spend my night. I’ve read TK Leigh’s work before, and I have loved it, so I jumped on this bandwagon when I saw sign-ups for this book to read it for my blog. And I can’t tell you how glad I am that I did!

    Dating games is a fake relationship, billionaire romance that deserves full recognition for being a truly outstanding read. While I usually prefer a dual POV story, there was something so perfect about this one just coming to us from Evie’s perspective. TK Leigh excels at many aspects of writing. Her characters have scorching chemistry, the sexy is way seXXXy and the books are exceptionally entertaining. All of that was true of Dating Games. And while I always think she masters the chemistry between her characters, Dating Games had my stomach in knots it was sooooo well done. It’s nearly tanagible and wow… so delicious and captivating that I couldn’t but it down to save my life. Of the many TK Leigh books I have now read, Dating Game is my favorite. The story was gripping, the pace was spot on—no slowing down or speeding up and losing my interest—and Evie and Julian were my very favorite characters TK has written. Evie is spunky, sassy, and genuinely an awesome heroine. I loved her and TK Leigh did an excellent job of showing her character’s progression… so much so that I was genuinely heartbroken for her at one point. Julian is swoon-worthy central! Like straight up sex on a stick hot!!! Although I was confused at turns with how he would turn on and off his emotions, that did nothing to diminish my enjoyment of Dating Games or him as the hero. Once you read the story, you’ll understand why I just could not help but love him. Overall, I felt the story was perfect and I wouldn’t change a thing. The fake girlfriend/boyfriend spin has been done, but the story itself was very fresh in my opinion. Ever since I first discovered TK Leigh’s work, I have jumped on opportunities to read for her and Dating Games reminded me all over again why I loved her writing so much. Pickup this spectacular book today and get to reading!!!!

    Quotes:
    “There are other ways to demonstrate your desire. Kissing is the easy way out. There’s nothing suggestive about one mouth pressing against the other. No. Desire is in the way your bodies find each other , the way your eyes darken with unmatched hunger, the way a shiver runs through you at the promise of what’s to come.”

    Julian Gage is the most potent drug known to man. He should be regulated and come with a warning to all females… and perhaps a few men. Side effects include wet panties, labored breathing, and irregular heartbeat. May cause multiple orgasms upon even the slightest touch. Consult a doctor prior to repeated use.

    We may not know each other well, but the instant I saw you, I knew you were the only person who could do this with me. The only woman I’d want to do this with.” … “So bury your doubt. Your unabashed confidence is what caught my attention. Don’t let the idea that you’re not good enough, like Trevor made you think, take it away. You are good enough. He11, you’re better than most people can ever dream to be.

    Evie Fitzgerald isn't looking for a new love after her boyfriend of 12 years breaks up with her on her 30th birthday instead of proposing. Saying she is not serious enough because she writes a sex and dating column in a popular magazine. No, Evie wants to show him how serious she is by getting a promotion and winning him back. Show him what he is missing without her.

    Julian Gage is only too happy to aid in Evie's quest. After witnessing her drunk impromptu stand up at the bar after her breakup, he finds himself wildly attracted to the opinionated redhead. He propositions her to be his fake girlfriend, and he can make her ex jealous in return for her attending functions with him to make him look more stable to his constituents. After a lot of back and forth and rules, Evie finally agrees.

    This is when all to the fun begins. Evie is just as attracted to Julian as he is to her, but she doesn't want to give up her goal of winning back her ex. But as the days go by and she gets to know the real Julian bit by bit, she realizes she is thinking less and less about her old relationship and more about the possibility of a new one with Julian. But he doesn't think he is capable of love.

    The slow burn between these two is so sizzling that I was getting anxious for something to explode between them! I was ready to just throw a match between them to get the fire started! I loved them together and I cheered for them! The story Evie was writing and Justin's past were all part of the scenery that made this book fascinating. Evie's friends I've met in other books and I love them so much! They are perfect!

    I love everything this amazing author writes and look forward to the next book! She is an automatic one click for me, I don't even need to read the blurb! I wish I could give this book more than FIVE STARS!!

Loved that the plot was different and believable, characters were strong and best of all I really enjoyed the banter between Julian and Evie.

    Reviewed in Germany on February 22, 2022
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Die Geschichte hat Potential, beim Lesen ist jedoch extreme Geduld gefordert. Die Handlung schleppt sich dahin und spätestens zur Hälfte des Buches hat man das Gefühl, dass noch nicht wirklich viel passiert ist. Darunter wiederum leidet leider auch die Spannung. Ein Problem ist dabei sicherlich auch die einseitige Perspektive aus Sicht der weiblichen Protagonistin. Ab und zu ein Perspektivwechsel würde nicht schaden. Dennoch ganz nett, deshalb noch drei Sterne.

    This story, is one I couldn't stop thinking about reading. Every free moment I read it and loved every minute of it!

    A fateful meeting while insanely drunk on her 30th birthday, Evie finds herself single after 12 years and in a strange man's bed... It is only after that, that she learns how she should be treated in relationship with the help of Julian.

    Julian is a broken man and because of this, tries to help women who are also broken, to believe in themselves and that there is a better life out there for them, however doesn't believe that for himself... Until he saw and heard Evie's drunken confession in the bar.

    I loved this story! I gave me the feels and in the last 10 chapters made me cry and heartbroken.

    All I ever want is the ending I want, and I wasn't disappointed.

    Thank you for writing!!

    Love K x ❤️ 💋

    This is a powerful and wonderful story for a number of reasons. The main characters are great and journey to understand themselves and their relationship. You can't help but care for them, although it isn't always straightforward and there are some surprised along the way.
    Reading the book was encouraging at a personal level and raises awareness of some traps it's easy to fall into without noticing and the challenge of being ourselves. The domestic abuse aspect is well handled and will hopefully raise awareness of such an important issue. There are other important issues that feature, which are grounded in reality and are thought provoking.
    I will be reading other books by the author, including the ones that feature characters from this story.
