OVERALL STAR RATING: 5/5
CLEAN RATING: 5/5
SUCH a fun opposites attract and fake dating RomCom! Kate really does an exceptional job with her dialogue. The conversation flows smoothly – full of honest and awkward moments that just make the characters feel incredibly real.
This is the story of Harper and Christopher. Harper just got dumped by her high school sweetheart turned hot Hollywood celeb. She had followed him out to Los Angeles thinking he was her forever. Now that her world has been turned upside down, Harper decides to return to her small town of Hunter’s Creek, Washington. Immediately it feels as though the entire town is trying to play matchmaker in hopes of mending Harper’s broken heart. It’s all too overwhelming. So what is Harper to do!? Why not start pretending the random new guy in town is your boyfriend so that everyone gets off your back? LOL I mean, what could go wrong, right?
Christopher Young stands out like a sore thumb – the “suit” among a sea of flannel in Hunter’s Creek. He’s temporarily in town on business. Grumpy Christopher and sunshiny Harper seem as opposite as can be.
There is such a beautiful amount of conversation in this book. I loved how we got to experience these characters connect emotionally on such deep level.
A lot of great banter…funny and sweet moments that will keep you turning page after page. There was something extremely special about this particular small town read. I can’t wait to continue on in the Sisters & Sweethearts series.

A fun, small-town romance
This was a fun and sweet read! Rom-coms are always enjoyable to read because they are generally light with some seriousness sprinkled in between. Faking it with the Grump is the first book in Kate O’Keefe’s new series, Second Chance Cafe. Harper and Christopher were such fun characters. They really complemented each other. I really liked seeing the growth of the characters. Harper learned from mistakes and really stood up for herself. I loved how Christopter pushed her to be better. Christopher was sweet and I loved how Harper helped him loosen up. The romance was sweet and fun to read. It did feel a little fast, but I think there were some time skips so it fit. I wanted to see how Christopher and Harper were going to end up together even with everything pulling them apart. The side characters were fun, the small town charm is always a wonderful addition. I am excited for the next book. Faking it with the Grump is a great start to a new series. It is a clean romantic comedy set in a small town.I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the author. All views expressed are only my honest opinion, I was not required to write a positive review.
