My life changed when my father died, and in the time since, I’ve learned to accept that my voice will never be the same. There are years and a literal ocean between the boy I was and the man I am now.
Scholarship student.
Loyal best friend.
Talented fighter.
The only thorn in my side is Remington Langford. Cocky, popular, far too handsome for his own good, and insistent on calling me his friend.
When a lost bet turns into a trip to Italy as his fake boyfriend, we grow closer than we ever intended, and it’s not long before the lines between what’s for show and what’s not blur.
Something not everyone is happy about.

Holden Booker is a mystery—quiet, strong, guarded, and seemingly immune to my charm.
Not only do I want to know π¦π·π¦π³πΊπ΅π©πͺπ―π¨ about him, but I need to show him he can trust me.
I don’t intend to fall in love with him. I don’t even do relationships, but he’s everything I never knew I was looking for.
Faking our relationship is impossible when everything we feel is so π³π¦π’π.
Enough to have someone I trust out to destroy us, breaking my heart along the way.

My Review: 5/5 Stars
Holden has had plenty of trauma in his life and a big result is his selective mutism. It’s hard for him to speak, even when he really wants to. But he promised himself that he would never be weak again. Leading him to fight for money at his college. There he meets, Remi. The popular boy who everyone seems to love and Holden can’t help but not like him. That is, until they are forced to work together on a school project. Holden gets to see the real Remi and he isn’t like the ones Remi surrounds himself with. Could Remi actually be different than what Holden originally assumed? Well, Holden is about to find out considering he somehow agreed (or lost a bet) to be Remi’s fake boyfriend to Remi’s sister’s wedding in Italy. The moment Remi noticed Holden, he was hooked. He wanted to know about this mysterious and quiet guy, but too bad Holden was unaffected by Remi’s charm. But Remi won’t give up. He knows there is something special about Holden and he just wants to have a chance to find out. To explore this thing he feels between them. Remi may never have wanted a real relationship before either, but being with Holden? Well, that’s a game changer. Loved these two! This was a great story all around. I loved getting to know Holden and Remi and watch them fall in love. Holden has a lot of trust issues and for good reason, and it was so great to see him let his walls down bit by bit and trust his gut that Remi may just be a safe place. And being with Holden really let Remi grow as a person. They were just really cute together! Great story!
