The Fake Mate by Lana Ferguson
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? No
5.0
SMUTTY. Absolutely smutty (complimentary).
I read The Nanny and wasn't as swept away by it like others were, but I really loved this - it was very trope-y (fake dating, grumpy/sunshine, he falls first, miscommunication, etc.) but I also love those tropes (except for miscommunication which can kick rocks), and the audiobook narrators (especially the FMC) were fabulous. This was very bingeable, and I loved reading it.
However, if you haven't read a lot of shifter romances, this may be confusing. The only "omegaverse" type book I've read before is Ali Hazelwood's Bride, and that was enough for me to know what knotting is - if you have no idea what that is, parts of the book will be quite confusing for you.
