I need a fake ex-husband。
Let me explain …
I may have let it slip to my new co-workers that I have an ex-husband。 Now they’re fascinated with the details， specifically with him。

It’s no secret how much I adore the work of Mrs。 Locke。 In my reviews I rave about how she develops a whole story and doesn’t bank on huge misunderstandings to run the plot。 Jess Charmichael has usurped my #1 spot。 （Please read “The Perception。 Max Quinn does not disappoint）。Jess is swoony。 He’s been in to Pippa for years。 Of course he jumps at the chance to help her by faking the part of the ex-husband （a trope I haven’t seen before）。 He’s funny， kind， strong， and thoughtful。 Pippa has never tr It’s no secret how much I adore the work of Mrs。 Locke。 In my reviews I rave about how she develops a whole story and doesn’t bank on huge misunderstandings to run the plot。 Jess Charmichael has usurped my #1 spot。 （Please read “The Perception。 Max Quinn does not disappoint）。Jess is swoony。 He’s been in to Pippa for years。 Of course he jumps at the chance to help her by faking the part of the ex-husband （a trope I haven’t seen before）。 He’s funny， kind， strong， and thoughtful。 Pippa has never truly known love。 She’s known conditional regard。 Obligatory cordiality。 But love？ No。 Watch out Pippa because you’re about to get a tsunami of Jess。 Mrs Locke writes family and secondary characters like nobody’s business。 Read it， and fall in 😍 。。。more

Adriana Locke is the Queen on small town family romance。 If you haven't fallen in love with her books ore the Carmichael family yet you will with this book。 Jess and his brothers are the backbone that lets Jess and Pippa's story shine。 Through the antics of the family we see just how much Jess has always loved Pippa and how much Pippa needs not just Jess but also the whole Carmichael family。 Just like Banks says "Once the Carmichaels claim you， your family。 Get used to it。" You will love this sw Adriana Locke is the Queen on small town family romance。 If you haven't fallen in love with her books ore the Carmichael family yet you will with this book。 Jess and his brothers are the backbone that lets Jess and Pippa's story shine。 Through the antics of the family we see just how much Jess has always loved Pippa and how much Pippa needs not just Jess but also the whole Carmichael family。 Just like Banks says "Once the Carmichaels claim you， your family。 Get used to it。" You will love this sweet story of mending hearts and fall in love with Jess， Pippa， and the entire Carmichael clan。 。。。more

Fluke by Adriana Locke was amazing。 Jess and Pippa are everything。 Pippa does not believe in love after what her family has done to her。 Jess is from a big family that is everything。 Will Pippa be able to open herself up to Jess？ Will Jess be able to show her love and make her trust in him？ Adriana you have done it again。 You kept me hooked and loving every minute of there story。

Story wise this is one of my favorite books by Adriana Locke。 I found it to be unexpected and refreshing。 What an interesting spin on fake relationship / friends to lovers。 Jess is such a great guy！ He is sweet， intuitive， strong， and has a heart of gold。 I really appreciate that about him。 I also loved Pippa as she was strong， smart， and very relatable。 Their chemistry is off the charts。 I can’t say I was completely into the dirty talk and other stuff as it’s a bit too much for me but there is Story wise this is one of my favorite books by Adriana Locke。 I found it to be unexpected and refreshing。 What an interesting spin on fake relationship / friends to lovers。 Jess is such a great guy！ He is sweet， intuitive， strong， and has a heart of gold。 I really appreciate that about him。 I also loved Pippa as she was strong， smart， and very relatable。 Their chemistry is off the charts。 I can’t say I was completely into the dirty talk and other stuff as it’s a bit too much for me but there is also no denying it was hot。 Heat and steam aren’t my priority when reading romance and the story， characters and chemistry were all on point so it is easy for me to overlook。 There are a lot of supporting friends and family members which allowed me to get to know the characters through their interactions in a show not tell way that I enjoyed。 It did slow the story between Jess and Pippa down a little bit which was totally worth it。 I was very happy with the ending， their relationship， and their growth together without changing who they were to conform to ideals。 I can’t wait for the resto of the brothers stories and more from this family。 。。。more

I absolutely loved Jess and Pippa's story。 Jess is seriously one of the most swoon worthy heroes I have read about in a long time。 He is determined but patient， kind and sexy。 Pippa， despite her slight insecurities that make her vulnerable， is funny， sassy， strong and the type of heroine you will adore。 Their story is filled with plenty of steam， hijinks， family， humor and the small town vibes I love。 It was a fun， sweet， and sexy read that I couldn't get enough of， and now I can't wait to see w I absolutely loved Jess and Pippa's story。 Jess is seriously one of the most swoon worthy heroes I have read about in a long time。 He is determined but patient， kind and sexy。 Pippa， despite her slight insecurities that make her vulnerable， is funny， sassy， strong and the type of heroine you will adore。 Their story is filled with plenty of steam， hijinks， family， humor and the small town vibes I love。 It was a fun， sweet， and sexy read that I couldn't get enough of， and now I can't wait to see what’s in store for the remaining two brothers！ 。。。more

A very cute fake relationship story Pippa and Jess have had chemistry between the 2 of them before they know what chemistry was。 A chance encounter brings them together， and fireworks ensue。 Adriana Locke reminds us that being loved by others can be complicated。 Learning to love and be loved is different for everyone and beautiful when it happens。

I love the Carmichael Family！Pippa worked at a matchmaking company and she was up for a promotion。 Her jerk of a coworker commented that since she was single， no one should be taking her advice。 Pippa responded by saying she was actually divorced， and that her ex was still obsessed with her。 Unfortunately for her， she now needed to prove this ex existed。 That’s where Jess Carmichael came in。 Jess was ecstatic that Pippa moved back to town， he had a major crush on her forever。 When he overheard h I love the Carmichael Family！Pippa worked at a matchmaking company and she was up for a promotion。 Her jerk of a coworker commented that since she was single， no one should be taking her advice。 Pippa responded by saying she was actually divorced， and that her ex was still obsessed with her。 Unfortunately for her， she now needed to prove this ex existed。 That’s where Jess Carmichael came in。 Jess was ecstatic that Pippa moved back to town， he had a major crush on her forever。 When he overheard her dilemma he offered to help， with 1 caveat - give him a chance to prove how great they could be together。Jess Carmichael is officially the ultimate cinnamon roll book boyfriend。 Sweet， swoony and sexy with a filthy mouth。 In my opinion， there is nothing better than when the cinnamon roll has a dirty mouth 🔥。 Jess fell first and he was just 🫠🥰😍🥵。 He’s played off Pippa’s rejections for years and now that she was willing to give him a chance， he was all in。 This man all in was unbelievable。 Pippa had no chance whatsoever of resisting him。 I loved Jess & Pippa together。 They’re chemistry was great and the banter was adorable。 I’m actually in love with the entire Carmichael family。 The family group texts had me hysterical laughing。 Banks is on another level and I’m dying for his story。 。。。more

I just don’t know how to put into words how amazing Jess Carmichael is - it will truly be hard to beat him。 I loved the playfulness of this couple and my goodness， the steam was so high！ And of course Banksy - I can’t wait to see who captures his heart！

As an AI language model， I cannot have individual preferences or opinions as humans do。 However， I can tell you that "Fluke" is a novel by James Herbert， published in 1977， that tells the story of a dog who is reincarnated into different dogs' bodies through time。 It explores themes of reincarnation， animal rights， and the relationship between humans and animals。 It has received mixed reviews， with some praising the unique premise and emotional depth while others finding it slow-paced and predictable。 Ultimately， whether someone enjoys the book or not will depend on personal taste。
