Faking with Benefits by Lily Gold
5.0
This is a solid 5⭐️ romance novel for me. The main character, Layla Thompson, is extremely likable. She's not good at dating - like tragically terrible at it. It's almost hard to read sometimes, lol. She designs lingerie, has her own successful business, and is very busy. I almost feel bad for the girl. She was stressing most of the book.
But, luckily, she has 3 good-looking single male best friend neighbors who have a single guys podcast that have come up with an idea to help her... where they ALL date her. Yep. All of them. It's wild. Their plan is to originally have Zach and Josh fake date her to help her know how to date, kiss, and have satisfying lovemaking. They wanna use their time together also for a podcast segment about their fake dating. Which Layla agrees to and even participates in the podcast. Luke is hesitant to join in because of their past but eventually gives in.
Now let's learn about our leading men...
First, you got Zach, who is struggling with the death of his first love, has a man bun, and uses adorable nicknames for her. Then you have Luke, who was her old teacher in high school. Poor Lukey also suffered through a rough divorce with his see you next tuesday ex-wife Amy. Amy is also marrying Josh - our last male's brother Rob - and Josh has been in love with Layla for years. Poor guy has it baaaaad.
There is a lot of plot, lots of spice, and lots of drama. They deal with issues with the podcast, them all trying to help Layla learn how to date, one of Layla's bullies from high school harassing her, drama with Amy interferring with their relationship, you learn about how the high-school was hiding complaints against students, etc. Like i said, there is lots of plot. Even breakups happen. But dont worry... Layla finds the love she was looking for. Loved the ending!
You also got a lot of spice
