There’s one rule in my family.
Stay away from the Daly brothers.
We were raised to know them as users. Manipulators. But I only ever saw Connor as the enigmatic senior hottie who dropped into fifth period to teach us about the perils of drunk driving.
When my first big girl job out of college ends up with us working at the same company, it’s heart throb city all over again. Except he’s way ahead of the game. Successful, talented, put together. I’m just a frumpy twenty-something in a quarter life crisis who doesn’t know a glue stick from a makeup highlighter.
He would never want me, even though he’s all I ever wanted in secret. So when we cross paths one night at the bar and one drink leads to another, he slaps me with an offer I can’t refuse.
Accompany him back to Bayshore, flight included.
Only stipulation? Pose as his girlfriend.
Our families will flip, but I’m not strong enough to say no to those baby blues, especially if it means I’ll have a chance to go on vacation with my adolescent heart throb.
We’ve got two weeks to prove we’re head over heels for each other.
Which is just enough time to make me fall.
Fake relationship for the win in Make Me Fall!! Add in the kind of Romeo and Juliet family feud twist and you have a fun story! Kinsley has always a bit of a crush on Connor, so when they find themselves working at the same company, Kinsley is right back with her high school feels! Then Connor offers her a deal she doesn’t want to pass up-fly back to their small hometown and pretend to be his girlfriend!
Connor doesn’t really have romantic feelings for Kinsley initially. He wanted to piss off his dad and his ex, and Kinsley would do both those things. Kinsley goes into this knowing Connor doesn’t have actual feelings for her, so she tries to keep her feelings from getting out of control. However, I still struggled with Connor. He was just kind of arrogant and prideful. However, seeing Connor back with his brothers is always fun because they are competitive and hilarious. It was interesting to get more info on Kinsley’s family too (since they are Connor’s family’s arch nemesis). Overall, its a cute story with a few laughs!
