Best Fake Dating Romance Books
The Love Hypothesis
by Ali Hazelwood
As a third-year Ph.D. candidate, Olive Smith doesn’t believe in lasting romantic relationships–but her best friend does, and that’s what got her into this situation.
Convincing Anh that Olive is dating and well on her way to a happily ever after was always going to take more than hand-wavy Jedi mind tricks: Scientists require proof. So, like any self-respecting biologist, Olive panics and kisses the first man she sees.
That man is none other than Adam Carlsen, a young hotshot professor–and well-known jerk. Which is why Olive is positively floored when Stanford’s reigning lab tyrant agrees to keep her charade a secret and be her fake boyfriend.
But when a big science conference goes haywire, putting Olive’s career on the Bunsen burner, Adam surprises her again with his unyielding support and even more unyielding…six-pack abs.
Suddenly their little experiment feels dangerously close to combustion. And Olive discovers that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis on love is putting her own heart under the microscope.
Ali Hazelwood’s books are some of the best enemies to lovers books but it all began with her debut novel, The Love Hypothesis with Olive and Adam fake dating their way through life in the lab and academia.
Who knew that a little kiss to keep her friend off her back would launch Olive into Adamโs orbit in a way that neither of them expected.
I loved Adamโs standoffish, gruff manner and yet he was so good with Olive behind the scenes and behind closed doors. This is definitely one fake dating book you shouldnโt miss.

The Soulmate Equation
by Christina Lauren
Single mom Jess Davis is a data and statistics wizard, but sheโs hasnโt been a whiz in the dating department. Raised by her grandparentsโsheโs been left behind too often to feel comfortable letting anyone in.
But when she hears about GeneticAlly, a new DNA-based matchmaking company, she decides to take a chance and dip her toes back into the dating world.
How can she go wrong with science and yet something is drastically wrong when she finds out sheโs been matched with GeneticAlly’s founder, Dr. River Pena- the stuck-up, stubborn man she knows is not her soulmate. When GeneticAlly proposes to pay her to get to know River, she canโt turn it down and may just find her soulmate after all.
All it took was some convincing and some cash to finally get Jess to agree to the fake dating set-up with River in this fun romance.
The author duo Christina Lauren are such whizzes when it comes to unique storytelling in romance and I loved this look at online dating and matchmaking with artificial intelligence.
Fake dating stories are so fun when they bring opposites together and it is fun to see River and Jessโs feeling grow in this one despite their initial feelings to the contrary. Check out my review of The Soulmate Equation.

The Kiss Quotient
by Helen Hoang
Stella Lane feels most comfortable at her job, working with numbers, which is why she has way less experience in the dating department than the average thirty-year-old.
It doesn’t help that Stella has Asperger’s and French kissing reminds her of a shark getting its teeth cleaned by pilot fish.
Her conclusion: she needs lots of practiceโwith a professional. Which is why she hires escort Michael Phan.
The Vietnamese and Swedish stunner can’t afford to turn down Stella’s offer, and agrees to help her check off all the boxes on her lesson planโfrom foreplay to more-than-missionary position.
Before long, Stella not only learns to appreciate his kisses, but crave all of the other things he’s making her feel.
I loved the set-up of this fake dating book with Stella hiring Michael for dating lessons to get in some practice.
Since sheโs on the spectrum, Stella doesnโt always find it easy to be around people, let alone be in a relationship, but I loved how she was determined to gain โexperienceโ with Michael in and outside the bedroom.
If youโre looking for a great fake dating book with diversity I highly recommend this romance!

The Risk
by Elle Kennedy
Everyone says Iโm a bad girl. Theyโre only partly rightโI donโt let fear rule me, and I certainly donโt care what people think. But I draw the line at sleeping with the enemy. As the daughter of Briarโs head hockey coach, Iโd be vilified if I hooked up with a player from a rival team.
And thatโs who Jake Connelly is. Harvardโs star forward is arrogant, annoying, and too attractive for his own good. But fate is cruelโI require his help to secure a much-coveted internship, and the jerk isnโt making it easy for me.
I need Connelly to be my fake boyfriend. For every fake dateโฆhe wants a real one.
Which means this bad girl is in big trouble. Nothing good can come from sneaking around with Jake Connelly. My father will end me, my friends will revolt, and my post-college career is on the line. But while itโs getting harder and harder to resist Jakeโs appeal and cocky grin, I refuse to fall for him.
Thatโs the one risk Iโm not willing to take.
The Risk is definitely my favorite in Kennedyโs Briar U series because I love both of these characters so much. Brenna is the type of strong heroine I adore who has confidence, quick wit, and isnโt afraid to go after what she wants. Plus, she doesnโt let people walk all over her.
Jake is the kind of romance hero I adore โ assertive, confident, and yet also really caring. I loved that he was the instigator of their fake dating and truly became a great boyfriend. Check out my review of The Risk.

Blind Side
by Kandi Steiner
Clay Johnson is the star wide receiver and Giana is the Public Relations Coordinator whoโs trying to wrangle him. Only heโs not cooperating after his breakup with his high school sweetheart.
When he sees Gianaโs own blunder in front of the guy sheโs crushing on, Clay proposes a fake relationship to make his ex and her crush both jealous. Only the plan backfires when they canโt help but fall for each other.
Steiner blew me away with this perfect fake dating book that gave me all the feels. I loved the relationship coach aspect to the story because Clay and Giannaโs โlessonsโ were hot โ even drawing inspiration from the romance novels Gianna read!
I absolutely love romance books where the fake dating is inspired to make an ex jealous or to gain the attention of an unrequited crush. This one has both!

Written in the Stars
by Alexandria Bellefleur
Darcy is tired of her brother trying to fix her up, so after a disastrous blind date with Elle, his coworker, she fibs and tells him that they were a match.
Elle is ready to find her soulmate but sheโs assured that it is not Darcy who couldnโt be more opposite to the care-free astrologer.
But when she finds out that Darcy lied to her brother saying that they are now dating, she somehow agrees to Darcyโs plan to fake date through the holidays.
And the more these two spend time with one another, it appears love may be written in the stars for these two opposites after all.
I canโt really blame Darcy for cooking up a fake dating story to keep her brother off her back but itโs hilarious that she chose Elle after their not-so-great date.
These two really did come across as complete opposites but thatโs why this is also a great slow burn because you could see them really connecting when they went out on their fake dates.
I highly recommend it and you can discuss even more reasons why by checking out my review of Written in the Stars.

Take a Hint, Dani Brown
by Talia Hibbert
Danika Brown knows what she wants: professional success, academic renown, and an occasional roll in the hay to relieve all that career-driven tension. But romance? Been there, done that, burned the T-shirt.
Romantic partners, whatever their gender, are a distraction at best and a drain at worst. So Dani asks the universe for the perfect friend-with-benefitsโsomeone who knows the score and knows their way around the bedroom.
When big, brooding security guard Zafir Ansari rescues Dani from a workplace fire drill gone wrong, itโs an obvious sign: PhD student Dani and former rugby player Zaf are destined to sleep together.
But before she can explain that fact to him, a video of the heroic rescue goes viral. Suddenly, half the internet is shipping #DrRugbaeโand Zaf is begging Dani to play along. Turns out his sports charity for kids could really use the publicity.
Daniโs plan is simple: fake a relationship in public, seduce Zaf behind the scenes. The trouble is, grumpy Zaf is secretly a hopeless romanticโand heโs determined to corrupt Daniโs stone-cold realism.
Before long, heโs tackling her fears into the dirt. But the former sports star has issues of his own, and the walls around his heart are as thick as his… um, thighs.
The easy lay Dani dreamed of is now more complex than her thesis. Has her wish backfired? Is her focus being tested? Or is the universe just waiting for her to take a hint?
I just have to say that I think Dani and I would be BFFs! I love her carefree attitude and unashamed interest in finding someone to scratch the itch so to speak.
Got to love it that social media helped her cause when it comes to Zaf. But I think Zaf is equally as engaging in this fake dating book as the hopeless romantic. Check it out and the entire Brown sisters series!

Charming Co-Worker
by Lauren Runow and Jeannine Colette
Katieโs wanted her boss for so long and this Christmas sheโs going to get her man. She just needs a bit of help becoming a vixen this holiday to score her manโs attention.
Her co-worker, Hunter is more than willing to help her and proposes a fake relationship to make her boss jealous. But the more time she spends with Hunter, the more she realizes her boss may not be the man she wants after all.
This fake dating book made me so happy! Office romances are a ton of fun but this one had that something extra by tossing in what they thought would be harmless fake dating between two co-workers to hopefully make the boss jealous.
Hunter is the perfect book boyfriend who truly notices the girl. All the little ways that he โgotโ Katie just made him stand out as the better man.
Plus, it had so many hilarious pun jokes! Check it out any time of year as well as my review of Charming Co-Worker.

The Player and the Pixie
by Penny Reid and L.H. Cosway
How can someone so smokinโ hot be so bad in bed? I mean, Sean Cassidy is absolute rubbish. RUBBISH. He is the epitome of walking, talking false advertising and I want a refund! Plus, heโs a jerk. Soโฆ what is wrong with me that I canโt stop thinking about him?
As the little sister of Irelandโs most infamous rugby player, Lucy Fitzpatrick canโt seem to escape the championship-sized shadow cast by her big brother, or her motherโs frequent attempts to micromanage her future. And when sheโs down, her compulsive little problem lands her in seriously big trouble.
Sean Cassidy is a cold-hearted bruteโฆ or so heโs been told. As the rugby worldโs second most infamous player, he should be basking in his success.
But Sean has never been content settling for second place, and his frequent confrontations with Lucyโs big brother leave him cold. And when heโs cold, his compulsive little problem lands him in the lap of Lucy Fitzpatrick.
Sean has a problem only Lucy can solve. Lucy has a problem only Sean can fix. The solution seems obvious: you scratch my back, and Iโll bail you out of jail.
But when their business arrangement unexpectedly leaves Sean scorching hot and Lucy on the precipice of inner peace, can they convince the worldโand Lucyโs big brother in particularโthat this is the real deal?
Either way, both the Player and the Pixie are about to teach each other some pretty monumental lessons about family, life, but most importantly, love.
Ok, this book should just be a one-click purchase for you. Just saying. I absolutely adored this fake dating romance and it instantly became one of my all-time favorite romances.
I love how the script is flipped with the hero needs some serious bedroom lessons given his initial underwhelming performance. Lucy should steer clear of him, especially since her brother canโt stand his teammate, but her own troubles pave the way to setting up their tutorial lessons while fake dating. So good!

Boyfriend Material
by Alexis Hall
One compromising photo too many puts Lucโs job in jeopardy. His one chance at redemption turns out to be a fake relationship with a respectable boyfriend to clean up his image.
That โjobโ falls to Oliver Blackwood, a barrister, who is the opposite of Luc in every way.
But the thing about fake dating is that it can feel a lot like real dating. And that’s when you get used to someone. Start falling for them. Don’t ever want to let them go.
I think Alexis Hall is one of those writers that I would love to sit down with and just have a cool chat. He hooked me on his writing with the witty banter between Luc and Oliver in this fake dating romance.
Luc was admittedly a bit of a trainwreck, reeling from issues with his father and now his job, but I loved that Oliver stood up for him when he needs it most.
Plus, I enjoyed the clever one-liners, jokes and little tidbits dropped along the way. Check out my review of Boyfriend Material.

Love the One Youโre With

After Grace takes a heart-mending hiatus, her first assignment is to go on a couple of dates with a counterpart from the menโs magazine Oxford and report her impressions.
Grace 1.0 may have been instantly smitten with the gorgeous correspondent, but Grace 2.0 has sworn off relationships for six months, and sheโs not falling for his outstanding bod and trophy-winning kisses . . . or is she?
Jake Malone wants to get back to the fly-by-night, who-knows-whatโs-next guy he used to be, and he knows exactly how to do it. Oxford is adding a travel section, and Jakeโwith no wife and no kids is perfect for the job . . . except that his playboy reputation makes his new editor nervous.
To get the gig, he must agree to a fluffy joint article with Stiletto. But after just one date with snooty, sumptuous, sensational Grace Brighton, Jake starts taking this assignment a whole lot more seriously.
Layneโs entire Stiletto series is so much fun to read about a group of young women living and working in New York City. I loved Grace and Jakeโs romance considering that they are so different from one another and how their respective jobs encouraged their fake dating that became more.

How to Fake It In Hollywood
by Ava Wilder
Grey Brooks is on a mission to keep her career afloat now that the end of her long-running teen TV show has her (unsuccessfully) pounding the pavement again.
With a life-changing role on the line, sheโs finally desperate enough to agree to her publicistโs scheme: fake a love affair with a disgraced Hollywood heartthrob who needs the publicity.
Ethan Atkins just wants to be left alone. Between his high-profile divorce, struggles with drinking, and grief over the loss of his longtime creative partner and best friend, Ethan has slowly let himself fade into the background.
But to produce the last movie he and his partner wrote together, Ethan agrees to a gossip-inducing affair with a gorgeous actress, even if itโs the last thing he wants to do.
Though their juicy public relationship is less than perfect behind the scenes, it doesnโt take long before Grey and Ethanโs sizzling chemistry starts to feel like more than just an act.
I sat down with this novel and devoured it in two days because I just couldnโt put it down. I loved that both of these Hollywood actors needed to turn around their careers, forcing them to go along with their publicistโs idea of fake dating to boost their cred in the publicโs eye.
But thereโs also a heaviness to this slow burn romance that was so well and stirs up all the feelings. Check out my review of How to Fake it In Hollywood.

This is classic fake dating set-up in which the two characters agree to the crazy shenanigans to get their meddling families off their backs. I love that the joke is on Jamie and Bea however who end up falling for one another in the process.
Iโm not a Shakespeare fan but Iโm definitely on board for this reimagining of Much Ado About Nothing.

When Itโs Real
by Erin Watt
Under ordinary circumstances, Oakley Ford and Vaughn Bennett would never even cross paths.
Thereโs nothing ordinary about Oakley. This bad-boy pop starโs got Grammy awards, millions of fangirls and a reputation as a restless, too-charming troublemaker.
But with his home life disintegrating, his music well suddenly running dry and the tabloids having a field day over his outrageous exploits, Oakley needs to show the world heโs settling downโand who better to help him than Vaughn, a part-time waitress trying to help her family get by? The very definition of ordinary.
Posing as his girlfriend, Vaughn will overhaul Oakleyโs image from troublemaker to serious artist. In return for enough money to put her brothers through college, she can endure outlandish Hollywood parties and carefully orchestrated Twitter exchanges. Sheโll fool the paparazzi and the groupies. She might even start fooling herself a little.
I certainly love rock star romances but Iโm all about Vaughn who would do anything for her brothers, including fake dating a pop star! Sounds oh so terrible, right, but Iโm sure the paparazzi and Hollywood wannabes are no joke so Iโm happy she finds love out of it all!
