Title: Faking Ms. Right
Author: Claire Kingsley
Genre: Contemporary Rom/Com
Release Date: May 28, 2019
Everly Dalton is a walking, talking, martini-drinking dating disaster. Forget kissing frogs. She can’t even get past the first date. But at work, she’s a badass—the longest-running assistant billionaire Shepherd Calloway has ever had. Her coworkers wonder how she handles the big bad wolf—and never gets bit.
Shepherd Calloway isn’t interested in being anyone’s sugar daddy. Tired of women who only want him for his money, he swears off dating, determined to focus on running his empire. Until his gold-digging ex hits him where it hurts, putting him in a difficult position.
His solution—to have Everly pose as his live-in girlfriend—is obviously crazy. But the timing is uncanny. It just so happens Everly needs a favor from her boss—a big and awkward one—and this could ensure everyone gets what they want.
Besides, Everly can totally survive a few months of faux romance.
Except there’s a problem. Shepherd is supposed to be a single-minded, unemotional robot boss. Not an actual human with a heart and morning wood. Between the awkward bed-sharing and tingly fake dates, lines are blurring. And as Everly gets to know the real Shepherd, she discovers there’s more to the man behind the bank account.
And faking it gets all too real.

BOOKISH STACY REVIEW:
In Faking Ms. Right, we have two people who are basically TERRIBLE at
dating. Everly hasn't had a good first date (and they're pretty much ALL
first dates) in forever so she decides she's taking a hiatus and maybe
that will break her dating curse. Shepherd is tired of fake women who
are only after his money and status--his dating curse. Through a VERY
unusual (and kind of crazy) course of events, Everly and Shepherd end up
in a fake relationship, which is even more awkward because Shep is
Everly's boss. Yeah. Awkward.
I freakin' loved this book! These two seemed so different at the beginning and slowly realize that this isn't the case at all. It was a bit of a slow burn because they fight those feelings as long as they can, but when they finally give in, holy cow, fireworks!! (Shep get an A+ in dirty talk!!) It was a joy to watch Shepherd realize that there was so much more to Everly than just his picture perfect assistant and I loved seeing Everly find the real Shep that had been hiding behind his unfeeling, robot-like persona. I just adored all of the supporting characters and really hope that we get to see some of their stories in the future (Everly's friends are a HOOT!) This book was filled with laughs and enough heart to make you swoon for days. If you're anything like me, the last chapter might just choke you up a little--it hit me right in the feels. And if you've read previous books by this author, you should enjoy some "Easter eggs" that she's sprinkled throughout the book. Don't worry, if you haven't, you won't notice as this is a complete stand-alone and a great place to start if she's new to you.
I highly recommend this and will be waiting patiently (mostly) for my next Claire Kingsley fix, er, I mean, book.😁
