Summary
Dom and Clara's Fake Dating Story
Fake dating my enemy so I can design my dream bakery should be easy … as long as I don't fall in love with him。
Dominic Hardy might be an award-winning architectural engineer with fancy degrees and considerable accolades， but he doesn’t know a thing about baking。 He doesn’t even like sugar。
So when my late stepfather’s will states that Dominic Hardy is set to inherit the Pacific Coast Resort he’d painstakingly designed， as long as my bakery can be plopped in the middle of it， it’s no surprise he balks。
Yet， my jaw drops when the will further requires us to mutually approve plans for my bakery’s design。
His stuffy taste will never mix with my whimsical vibe。
But then Dominic comes to me with a proposal I can’t refuse。 He’ll give me everything I want in my bakery as long as I agree to one
Fake date him for five months。
Keep his ex away by pretending we’re in love。
Smile and stare into his piercing green eyes at a gala or two。
Maybe share a kiss。
Nothing extreme。
Five months of acting in love when I really loathe him and his filthy mouth。
Even when he’s using it on me。
This should be a cakewalk。
Except there’s a fine line between love and loathing， and I think I’ve made the colossal mistake of blurring it。

Didn’t really believe that Dom and Clara were in love。 It felt like we were told they were obsessed with each other but only the last quarter ish showed it to an extent。

An enjoyable read- danced the line with the miscommunication trope but stayed the right side。 Some good comedy moments and a lot of spice。

Amazing RollercoasterI loved their love story but I felt it lacked something while reading。 We could have gone more into the lore with her mother， her lupus journey or some other details like past flings。 I also felt it moved quite fast and the months of timeskips could have been filled with more story lore but nonetheless it was a great read and I would recommend it to others。

2，5* rounded up。 I sort of liked it， MCs were。。。 fine， but the beginning felt a little bit like too forced insta lust/love。 More build up would have been better。

Took some time to finish this book as I got bored。 This somehow feel much better than the 1st book but still it gave the same vibe like the previous one。 I don’t like the progression of this story and same as before it got rush for the ending。 Wish I can say more but I mostly forgot what is all about。 Lol。

I think BookTok is a cult I couldn’t finish this book and am baffled by the amount of 5 star reviews。 Seriously， who is reading this？ The first spicy scene came out of nowhere， the main character was completely spineless and the writing style is very juvenile。 I can’t even sum up how stupid this book is， go read some other 1 star reviews， they’re pretty much all accurate

okI really like the in this novel…she has a unique story and voice， but the main guy I feel like I have read in every other novel。 Some super wealthy know it all hard ass that inexplicably and out of know where falls into lust。 It was just too predictable。 The story would have been better in just the female role’s vouce

DramaGreat read with drama from beginning to end。 Enjoyed every page。 Enjoyed the whole "I can make that cupcake。。。" scene。 People always underestimate what it takes to make anything truly superior。 DramaGreat read with drama from beginning to end。 Enjoyed every page。 Enjoyed the whole "I can make that cupcake。。。" scene。 People always underestimate what it takes to make anything truly superior。 。。。more

This book was better than the first。 I loved this book so much。 Clara and Dominic are forced to work together by her stepfathers will。 Dominic is a demanding perfectionist and likes the world in black and white。 Clara is all about color and spice。 She is everything that is colorful and bubbly and vibrant。 When they concoct a plan to get a clingy ex out of the picture by fake dating， things get complicated。 Lines get blurred。 But can these get complications be good or bad？ Can they work together。 This book was better than the first。 I loved this book so much。 Clara and Dominic are forced to work together by her stepfathers will。 Dominic is a demanding perfectionist and likes the world in black and white。 Clara is all about color and spice。 She is everything that is colorful and bubbly and vibrant。 When they concoct a plan to get a clingy ex out of the picture by fake dating， things get complicated。 Lines get blurred。 But can these get complications be good or bad？ Can they work together。 Every book by Shain Rose gets better and better ！！！ So glad I discovered this author， she’s got a fan here ！！！！ 。。。more

Enjoyed this bookI actually enjoyed this story。 I don’t remember what book I read of this author before to find this book pop up in my suggestions but so glad it did。 I enjoyed there only being 1 book to read。 I also enjoyed the chemistry from the beginning and not having to wait til the end for the first kiss。 I know I will continue to read more of this series and this author。

i should stop being generous w my reviews， because i felt 3 was too good for this。 i love clara。 she’s vibrant and brings the colors in dominic’s monochromatic life， and her upbringing really was heartbreaking。 it was amazing to see her find her own voice and refuse to be used by another person like her mom and sister did to her。 but dom is a bit too cringey for me。 he was a walking rock that cannot carry a conversation without them doing it because he’s erect in his every appearance throughout i should stop being generous w my reviews， because i felt 3 was too good for this。 i love clara。 she’s vibrant and brings the colors in dominic’s monochromatic life， and her upbringing really was heartbreaking。 it was amazing to see her find her own voice and refuse to be used by another person like her mom and sister did to her。 but dom is a bit too cringey for me。 he was a walking rock that cannot carry a conversation without them doing it because he’s erect in his every appearance throughout the book。 it was spicy， but perhaps a bit too spicy。 at some point i got tired of it and skipped those scenes because they started to get ridiculous， using sex to solve their quarrels and misunderstandings。 the plot was nice—it was romantic and everything reads like a Wattpad book。 so naturally， i finished it bc it’s my guilty pleasure。 but I hope the males can stop growling and getting hard at everything their girl does so the plot can progress without them whispering weird nasty stuff in her ears。 love and romance is not just about the sex。 。。。more

I wasn't a big fan of Dominic， just didn't care for his character that much， but I did like Clara。 Normally pushover female leads bother me but the way we got to see her learn to start stand up for herself and the way her people pleasing habits were built into her personality didn't make her seem week or annoying。 Not a bad read overall。 I wasn't a big fan of Dominic， just didn't care for his character that much， but I did like Clara。 Normally pushover female leads bother me but the way we got to see her learn to start stand up for herself and the way her people pleasing habits were built into her personality didn't make her seem week or annoying。 Not a bad read overall。 。。。more

Fighting against love and for it！What a great story of fighting against love and fighting for it。 The way Dominic fights against ClarA just to pull her closer every time kept me turning for the next page。 The way Clara blossomed and final stood up for herself was amazing to watch。 Couldn’t put it down and can’t wait to read the next book in the Hardy story！

This one is SO much better than the first one。 For starters， Clara is more interesting。 Dom is also a dick， but his slight insta-love is adorable even if I hate that trope。 Ok。 So this one takes us to a resort that’s super fancy and a bakery that’s whimsical。 Lots of arguing over aesthetic。 I mean the hate sex is weird at first- and honestly there are a lot of long， drug out sex scenes that seemed out of place sometimes- but overall the story flowed well and was good。 Anyway。 I like that the aut This one is SO much better than the first one。 For starters， Clara is more interesting。 Dom is also a dick， but his slight insta-love is adorable even if I hate that trope。 Ok。 So this one takes us to a resort that’s super fancy and a bakery that’s whimsical。 Lots of arguing over aesthetic。 I mean the hate sex is weird at first- and honestly there are a lot of long， drug out sex scenes that seemed out of place sometimes- but overall the story flowed well and was good。 Anyway。 I like that the author always gears you up with snippets for the next couple。 They should be interesting as well！ I’m honestly not found of how this lady writes， but the story makes me want to go back and read the sisters stories with their little mafia men。 。。。more

The algorithm lied yet again！ When I suggested this book on Instagram， it looked really good， but man， oh man， was it terrible。 The writing is god-awful。 The first 3 chapters were unreadable。 No， thank you。
