So before I get into my actual review of this standalone gem, I have to say this: J, you are the absolute Queen of Everything and I should have listened to you much sooner... you were right, as always, and I am officially admitting that I was wrong :) ok, now let me explain why I needed to start with that statement :) you see... J is my younger sister, and she read this book quite a while ago... like it-has-been-months ago ;) and ever since she did, she kept pestering me to read it, because it was sooo amazing and telling me how much I would love it... and I kept pushing it back... *looks at my past self with condemnation and pity* because this book has everything I love in stories and I adored every word in it :) so let me tell you a bit more what it's all about and then I will try to be brief with all the praises I have for it, otherwise we will be here all day... #NoJoke ;)
Ok, so do you remember what it's like when you wake up after a one night stand with a handsome stranger and you try to write a witty note to ask him to be your date / fake boyfriend for the upcoming wedding of your sister that will last four days and said guy wakes up before you have the chance to finish the note and sneak out? no? just Poppy? ;) well ok then... ;) you can see why I immediately fell in love with this story after that beginning :) to make matters more interesting, Adam agrees to her proposition... :) he will be her fake boyfriend for the long weekend... what makes the whole situation even more entertaining, Adam is a famous hockey player and Poppy has no idea about it :) she's not really interested in sports, so she didn't recognized him... I can't say the same about her family during the wedding weekend :) ok, that's basically all I can say about the actual plot of this book :) the majority of it takes place over that long weekend, and it's absolutely phenomenal :) so now let me jump into all the reasons why you need to stop whatever you are doing and read this gem immediately :)
Emma Hart is a brand new author for me, but rest assured that after absolutely falling in love with her writing style after reading this novel, all of her other books are now very, very high on my #wishlist :) this story was just so freaking hilarious... the banter between Poppy and Adam, all sorts of interactions between Poppy and her family... *sighs happily* I live for that kind of witty banter in books :) not to mention that it has everything I love in stories ;) sarcastic humor... Poppy has the absolute best T-shirts :) I want to wear all of them :) and if you follow my reviews for some time now, you may already know that the fake relationship trope is definitely one of my favourite ones.... like, ever :) add to that a strong and snarky heroine... a hockey player hero... don't ask me why, but those guys are my book-ish kryptonite... which is weird cause I don't watch the games or know any rules... and yet hockey players are my favourite athletes to read about :) so as you can see, this book was just win win win on all fronts :) I absolutely loved it and highly recommend you guys to pick it up... like, right now... learn from my mistakes and enjoy the awesomeness of this story as soon as possible :)

Sassy, sexy and thoroughly awkward...
Poppy Dunn has a complicated relationship with her family... to say the least. In an effort to placate her mother(zilla) during her sisters wedding festivities she decides to invite an almost stranger to be her date. Sounds like a solid plan... right?Adam Winters is used to women falling all over for him due to his career choice. But he finds Poppy is completely unaffected by his money, status and minor celebrity. Mostly because she has no idea who he is. Agreeing to be her date for the wedding is a no-brainer, as long as he gets to see her again, he will agree to almost anything...With Poppy's crazy family and Adam's busy life, these two only have to worry about getting through four days of pretend dating... but, when a fake relationship develops real feelings, will they ever be more than just a fling?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This was a really great read! With an unconventional heroine and a hero who lives and breathes hockey, when these two are pushed out of their everyday element to spend some stressful and hilarious time together, will their attraction be a recipe for forever?I loved Poppy! Sassy and straightforward, she is the antagonist in her family... but also the force who keeps them from all killing each other. When the one night stand she has with Adam has her contemplating inviting him to the wedding, she does everything she can to talk herself out of it. But, a handsome buffer like him would be a great distraction... for everyone.Adam was a hilariously self assured man who lives for his career and hasn't yet found many women who want him for anything more than his success. Poppy is a refreshing change he isn't prepared to let get away so easily, and four days on the beach with her sounds like the perfect plan.Sassy, sexy, thoroughly awkward, and with a classic case of opposites attract, Four Day Fling was a hilarious and entertaining jaunt that you will not want to miss.I received a complimentary copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.
