Here For The Cake by Jennifer Millikin is now live!
A spicy, sassy, and swoony fake dating romantic comedy from Amazon Charts bestselling author Jennifer Millikin.
A week on an island sounds like the stuff of beach dreams, but for Paisley Royce, it’s a nightmare. Her little sister is marrying her ex-college sweetheart, and Paisley is serving as maid of honor. To add insult to injury, nobody will let Paisley forget she’s single.
Bachelorette weekend changes everything when she runs into her old college frenemy, Klein Madigan.
Klein is still intelligent and funny, and somehow time has only made him more attractive.
Paisley is Klein’s ‘one that got away’, not that he’d ever admit it to her. A colossal misstep (and one terrible kiss) in college sealed their fate.
Or so they thought.
Klein’s an aspiring author allergic to social media. Paisley owns a digital marketing agency.
A brilliant plan is hatched: A trip across the country for a week of faking out her family in exchange for her firm marketing his work.
One hastily scrawled and signed contract on a bar napkin later, Paisley and Klein embark on a journey of tension, only one bed, and fake dating shenanigans.
Paisley’s goal is to survive the week.
Klein’s plan is to enjoy the sun, sand, and wedding cake.
But then there’s a scorching kiss to make up for that bad one in college.
And another kiss in a lighthouse during a thunderstorm. A gentle palm on Paisley’s lower back, and a reassuring hand squeeze under the table.
Everyone is convinced Klein and Paisley are the real deal, but as the week wears on, they begin to wonder if the only people they’re kidding are themselves.

💜Review💜 Agreeing to be the maid of honor at her sister’s wedding to her ex is difficult enough but facing the scrutiny of friends and family about Paisley’s single status will only make it worse. Reconnecting with Klein, a man she knew from college who she shares a less than ideal past with, is a twist she had not expected especially once they agree to an arrangement that could be a win-win for both.
Klein has always wondered what if when it comes to Paisley so seeing her again is a welcome surprise. Finding out that she can help him professionally only makes it that much better as they also get to spend two weeks together in a romantic location. Let the romance begin!
Fun and flirty I enjoyed seeing the relationship between Paisley and Klein unfold. Klein is everything you could want in a boyfriend and so much more while Paisley is a woman you would want as your friend and together they are perfection.
Biting banter is all they know. But messy feelings have a way of coming to the surface in this beachside romance from USA Today bestselling author R.S. Grey.
Paige Young and Cole Clark are polar opposites. A world traveler since birth, Paige loves to lead activities for guests at a luxury island resort in Turks and Caicos. From bingo nights to cliffside hikes, Paige is up for anything. Cole, meanwhile, prefers his number-crunching desk job. He’s the assistant director at the resort—stiff and meticulous. He’s so by the book that he keeps the book. In his desk drawer.
They’re perfectly aligned in one way, though—their ability to drive each other crazy. Every day brings a fresh battle of wits. They’re rivals, archnemeses…and they’re definitely never going to talk about that one time they kissed. Ha ha. Nope!
But when Paige finds out that Cole has been ordered to fire her on the same day a hurricane threatens their little slice of paradise, it’s clear the game is over.
At odds, in peril, and forced to shelter in place together, these two enemies might finally have to confront their true feelings. (You know, the ones hidden under all those withering looks.)

R.S. Grey is the USA Today bestselling author of over thirty novels, including seven #1 bestselling romantic comedies. She lives in Texas with her husband, two daughters, and dog.
⛱Review⛱ Paige has spent her life looking for the next adventure as she explores the world one place at a time. When she found herself at Siesta Playa it was no longer about finding the next place to explore but to find a way to stay. When you combine a dangerous weather event, her job being her jeopardy and her antagonistic relationship with Cole the sparks are going to fly.
Cole is Paige’s opposite as where she is adventurous, he believes in following the rules. Even though she may infuriate him she also intrigues him and the one thing that can’t be disputed is she makes him feel alive. When circumstances force them together, he might just find out that being with her is all the adventure he could ever need.
The banter between them was humorous and the situations they find themselves in will finally force them to face the fact that they are meant to be lovers rather than adversaries.
