Dating Games: A Fake Relationship Romance Kindle Edition
Note to self: When your boyfriend dumps you on your thirtieth birthday, it's probably not the smartest idea to drink so much that you wake up in the same bed as the mysterious hottie wearing the gorgeous suit who you noticed sitting across the bar.
The only silver lining in my obvious lack of judgment is the promise of never seeing Mr. Suit again, not in a city the size of New York.
Or so I thought, until a story I'm working on about the country's most sought-after and elusive escort lands me in the same café as Mr. Suit.
So I do what any self-respecting woman of my age would do in my shoes... Try to ignore him.
But he won't let me.
Instead he makes a proposition that leaves me questioning whether I need to have my ears checked.
Be his fake girlfriend for a summer of wealth and excess in the Hamptons. In return, he'll help me win back my boyfriend's heart.
Juvenile? You bet.
Effective? Could be.
Bad idea? Most likely.
But what do I have to lose?
Apparently, a lot more than I originally bargained for.
Let the games begin...
Dating Games is a standalone modern retelling of Cinderella meeting her billionaire Prince Charming. If you like a sassy heroine, a sinful hero, and a whole lot of laughs, then you'll love this fake relationship romance.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2019What an astonishingly beautiful love story!!!! Dating Games was the perfect way to spend my night. I’ve read TK Leigh’s work before, and I have loved it, so I jumped on this bandwagon when I saw sign-ups for this book to read it for my blog. And I can’t tell you how glad I am that I did!
Dating games is a fake relationship, billionaire romance that deserves full recognition for being a truly outstanding read. While I usually prefer a dual POV story, there was something so perfect about this one just coming to us from Evie’s perspective. TK Leigh excels at many aspects of writing. Her characters have scorching chemistry, the sexy is way seXXXy and the books are exceptionally entertaining. All of that was true of Dating Games. And while I always think she masters the chemistry between her characters, Dating Games had my stomach in knots it was sooooo well done. It’s nearly tanagible and wow… so delicious and captivating that I couldn’t but it down to save my life. Of the many TK Leigh books I have now read, Dating Game is my favorite. The story was gripping, the pace was spot on—no slowing down or speeding up and losing my interest—and Evie and Julian were my very favorite characters TK has written. Evie is spunky, sassy, and genuinely an awesome heroine. I loved her and TK Leigh did an excellent job of showing her character’s progression… so much so that I was genuinely heartbroken for her at one point. Julian is swoon-worthy central! Like straight up sex on a stick hot!!! Although I was confused at turns with how he would turn on and off his emotions, that did nothing to diminish my enjoyment of Dating Games or him as the hero. Once you read the story, you’ll understand why I just could not help but love him. Overall, I felt the story was perfect and I wouldn’t change a thing. The fake girlfriend/boyfriend spin has been done, but the story itself was very fresh in my opinion. Ever since I first discovered TK Leigh’s work, I have jumped on opportunities to read for her and Dating Games reminded me all over again why I loved her writing so much. Pickup this spectacular book today and get to reading!!!!
Quotes:
“There are other ways to demonstrate your desire. Kissing is the easy way out. There’s nothing suggestive about one mouth pressing against the other. No. Desire is in the way your bodies find each other , the way your eyes darken with unmatched hunger, the way a shiver runs through you at the promise of what’s to come.”
Julian Gage is the most potent drug known to man. He should be regulated and come with a warning to all females… and perhaps a few men. Side effects include wet panties, labored breathing, and irregular heartbeat. May cause multiple orgasms upon even the slightest touch. Consult a doctor prior to repeated use.
We may not know each other well, but the instant I saw you, I knew you were the only person who could do this with me. The only woman I’d want to do this with.” … “So bury your doubt. Your unabashed confidence is what caught my attention. Don’t let the idea that you’re not good enough, like Trevor made you think, take it away. You are good enough. He11, you’re better than most people can ever dream to be.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2020Long time reader, first time reading this author. If you're like me, you stick with authors you know and have read ALL of their books. I've spent a lot of time reading this year...as a matter of fact, I believe this is book 389 for me.
First off, this book...what a terrible way for the heroine to start! Her boyfriend that she supported for 8 years, financially, is dumping her (they were together for 12) because she's not "good enough" for him. So she goes off on a rampage, at a bar, on how she wasted her life and time. She wakes up the next morning next to an Adonis and she isn't sure if they boned or not. She's certain they have as she awakes in her underwear.
The hero ends up being a broken, yet chivalrous soul who is always looking out for others but never for himself. He proves it throughout the book in multiple ways from, taking care of her emotionally, financially, gifts, putting her needs before his own, you name it and he pretty much does it (I mean, he's a billionaire, so why not).
This is romance, so there is the HEA and the marriage proposal, the whole nine yards. Overall, it was a nice read. This is a romance that I'd categorize as a slow burn. Kissing, sex, all happen relatively late in the book, about 50% in. Outside of the physical aspect, here are my overall critiques on the book:
1. I enjoyed the author's writing
2. I don't typically love one-sided POVs. I prefer to have both sides of the protagonists POV's appear, alas, you only get the heroines. I personally just find having both sides to be more enriching and helps you connect better with both characters. That said, the one-sided POV was very well done.
3. The sex scenes were...sweet. So if you're looking for something dirty, like you'd get from Penny Wylder or Tessa Bailey, look elsewhere.
4. The heroine...oh man...the heroine...as a person, she was a bit much for me. To stand on a bar (at a bar) and air out your dirty laundry to EVERYONE when you aren't even drunk is...a bit much. And in NY no less...I get she's from Nebraska, but from one east coaster to another...the reaction from the people at the bar was unprecedented. I had a few other issues from the heroine, when she goes to the police station with damning evidence for a homicide and realizes that she had been lied to by the hero she freaks out and DOESN'T give the evidence...I'm sorry...I had a hard time with that. It's a homicide, get over yourself, and give the damn evidence. The second thing is when her ex-boyfriend comes crawling back to her (as he would) she realizes that the hero really does love her and she needs to give him another chance so she runs off...and leaves her boyfriend in her apartment? That...was weird.
5. Loved the hero, he had a rough life and I was able to empathize with his plight. Though the heroine got really aggro and pushy to find out that information...to the point where I felt like she was acting a bit entitled.
Generally, I enjoyed the book. It was really long though and some scenes I felt weren't necessary as they didn't really add to the book or to the character development. As for the author, like I said, it's the first book I've read of hers and I thoroughly enjoyed it so I went ahead and bought the rest of the books and plan to read them all.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2019This book has it all! It’s funny, romantic, heartbreaking and touching. We find Evie at her favorite bar, with her best friends (Nora & Chloe) after her loser boyfriend (Trevor) breaks up with her on her 30th birthday. She was expecting an engagement ring, but got dumped instead. After about her 3rd Manhattan, with a side of shots, Evie has the liquid courage required to stand up and share with everyone in the bar what Trevor has done to her on her birthday and catches the eye of a man sitting by himself at a back table. The man (Julian) just happens to be a billionaire and the sparks fly instantly between them. After Evie mulls over a proposal from Julian to pretend to be girlfriend/boyfriend for the summer so he can get people to believe he’s settled down & invest in his new business venture, while she proves to Trevor how wrong he was for leaving her, they begin a fake relationship.
There are some large obstacles in their path, (like their intense chemistry & keeping things platonic) with some shocking and sad secrets along the way. While I realized who Julian was early in the book, what I didn’t expect was his & another character’s (Sonia’s) stories. Both of them were poignant examples of the phrase, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.”
I really & thoroughly enjoyed this book & would highly recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it!
I absolutely loved this book and didn't want to put it down even though I wanted to slow down and savour it. Loved that the plot was different and believable, characters were strong and best of all I really enjoyed the banter between Julian and Evie. This is the first book that I have read by this author but it won't be the last.

Even I already knew how the story will be but I couldn’t stop read it because the author give a great h , Guinerve Fitzgerald... not just a beautiful name but she got a bunch of humor , I just love her character
H pretty decent but I can imagine how those suit works him out through and through

SiReReviewed in Germany on February 22, 2022
3.0 out of 5 stars Geduld ist eine Tugend
Die Geschichte hat Potential, beim Lesen ist jedoch extreme Geduld gefordert. Die Handlung schleppt sich dahin und spätestens zur Hälfte des Buches hat man das Gefühl, dass noch nicht wirklich viel passiert ist. Darunter wiederum leidet leider auch die Spannung. Ein Problem ist dabei sicherlich auch die einseitige Perspektive aus Sicht der weiblichen Protagonistin. Ab und zu ein Perspektivwechsel würde nicht schaden. Dennoch ganz nett, deshalb noch drei Sterne.
- Love KaileeReviewed in Australia on November 14, 2023
5.0 out of 5 stars ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This story, is one I couldn't stop thinking about reading. Every free moment I read it and loved every minute of it!
A fateful meeting while insanely drunk on her 30th birthday, Evie finds herself single after 12 years and in a strange man's bed... It is only after that, that she learns how she should be treated in relationship with the help of Julian.
Julian is a broken man and because of this, tries to help women who are also broken, to believe in themselves and that there is a better life out there for them, however doesn't believe that for himself... Until he saw and heard Evie's drunken confession in the bar.
I loved this story! I gave me the feels and in the last 10 chapters made me cry and heartbroken.
All I ever want is the ending I want, and I wasn't disappointed.
Thank you for writing!!
Love K x ❤️ 💋

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing
This made me laugh and cry several times.
Even though the plot seems like a cliche, the writing style makes u want to read it all day long, and the plot twists turned the book into a very unique piece.
Love the couple, their story and their group of friends.
