Me: Give me all the funnies.
TS: Here you go... now leave me alone.
Me: Ohhhhh shhhhhhiiiii.... I need a fan. That was STEAMY!
Me: Hahahahaha, omg, no. I can't stop laughing. How does she keep the funny coming time and time again?
Me: Ice cold shower. Now. I need one now. OMG *snorts and laughs*

So, yeah. I really enjoyed this book. I feel like a broken record when it comes to writing reviews to Sivec's books. I need to find some more inventive ways to say how much I enjoyed her books. Now onto your next scheduled reading.... Which better be this book.

⭐⭐⭐⭐1/2
Another hilarious Summersweet Island addition (Book 4). If you haven't read this series, do it now. Ms. Sivec has yet to disappoint me with her books.

The snarky writing and banter between all the amazing characters will leave you laughing. I know I want to Sip and Bitch with the girls on Summersweet Island. I love Tara Sivec and I am always questioning how she comes up with her one liners that are absolutely perfect for the characters.

I am so in love with this series and this world created by Tara Sivec. This story is one of my favorites so far. I think I say that with every review, but I truly adored this one. The characters are so much fun and I laughed out loud so much. It was also so swoony and sweet. I loved every minute of reading this and could not put it down. I can't wait for more from this series and more from this author.

The best of the series.

I love these characters. They are all special in their own way and when together they are magic. However, Quinn and Emily? This is why I read romance. The bantering was EPIC. The storyline and the fake dating was exceptional. Add in the hottest steam that didn't over power the story made this one of my favorite books ever.

Highly recommend.

I really enjoyed this one! It kept the hilarity of the first while bringing the characters back from the caricatures they became in the second. Plus, after watching America's Sweethearts on Netflix I definitely enjoyed the not-so-subtle references to the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. A very fun summer read!

This might be my favorite one in the series so far! Quinn and Emily are the perfect pair. The QB of the team she has been a cheerleader for... until she gets fired.

They met one night at a party at his house, and she was just a little tipsy... or maybe a lot, since he ended up holding her hair while she

  | Ah, Fake Dating the football player you’ve had a crush on forever, like that wasn’t going to become real and scary for you! These two had a lot of push and pull, and at times Emily truly annoyed me, but Quinn more than made up for it. Loved when they made the other admit it was never fake for them, so they could get on with the real thing <3

Captivating!!

I loved revisiting Summersweet Island and catching up with everyone. Emily has always intrigued me from the bits and pieces we got of her in previous books in this series and she didn’t disappoint! She’s fierce but vulnerable and so so perfect for Quinn. A fun summer read that left me dying for the next book (as usual!).
