The Best Wrong Move: The brand-new, spicy, fake-dating rom-com to set your pulse racing (Off-Limits Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.3 out of 5 stars 163 ratings

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘The chemistry, the tension, the banter. The SPICE? Perfection.’

‘Such a fun, spicy read with a great blend of heart and heat, all wrapped up in a fake-dating pact that had me giggling! Dom was a top candidate for my next book boyfriend.’
Emma Lucy, bestselling author of Live, Ranch, Love

Fake-dating has never been so hot.

Celebrity news anchor Olivia’s live-streamed marriage proposal ends in public humiliation — her almost-fiancé Rex says
no.

Desperate to escape, Liv flees to Hawaii. Stunning sunsets and ocean views will help her plan her next move. Only to find Rex there too . . . with his new girlfriend!

And when Liv locks herself out of her rental, wearing nothing but red lacy underwear, she knows things definitely
can go from bad to worse.

Until she’s rescued by gorgeous and mysterious surfer, Dom, who looks like he’s walked straight out of the ocean and into Liv’s fantasies!

Their not-so-meet-cute turns out to be the perfect solution to get back at Rex — a fake date. The plan is foolproof. Dom needs a distraction. Liv needs revenge.

But the more Liv and Dom fake it, the more the kisses start to feel a little too real — and in paradise, playing pretend has never been so tempting . . .

Great debut
5 out of 5 stars
Great debut
Such a great debut! I loved the setting and felt like I was on vacation along with Olivia. I loved seeing the growth of her character and how she took that time to find herself and be happy. Dom was great! I loved how he was so willing to help Olivia from the very start. He was such a golden retriever and just so fun! The chemistry between these two was great! Rex and Lulu being next door added some drama that had me so invested and I loved getting to see how it all played out! I also enjoyed Dom’s brother and SIL’s appearance, although I was thinking “what is wrong with these people, there’s no way”- I was happy to see that despite the way they acted towards Olivia, they were great people who only wanted the best for Dom! Overall, this was a sweet and very entertaining story! I can’t wait to see what else is in store from this author!

    Grab yourself a refreshing tropical beverage and bask in the sun while you are transported to paradise in The Best Wrong Move. This sizzling romance takes place in beautiful sun soaked Hawaii where love and new beginnings collide. The story follows Olivia, a heartbroken woman on the path of self discovery to heal after her ex rejected her marriage proposal on live TV. However, fate has other plans when she discovers her ex is now staying next door…with another woman.

    Enter Dom, a charismatic kind-hearted hottie who coincidentally owns the vacation rentals. Dom and Olivia start fake dating, however the playful pretending creates a delicious tension, especially as Dom’s sincerity begins to break down Olivia’s walls, and their passion becomes electric.

    As Olivia navigates her anger and hurt, and looks towards her future Dom helps her rediscover her confidence and capacity for love. Dom’s unwavering charm and Olivia’s journey from heartbreak to healing makes this a great read and reminder that love finds us when we least expect it. 10/10 recommend this page turner for those looking for a feel good love that has spice, comic relief and self discovery!!!

    Adult romance with meet cute, fake dating, and friends to lovers. I enjoyed this book! It was fun and spontaneous with a sweet and spicy romance! The main characters, Olivia and Dom, were so cute together. Their insta-love chemistry was sizzling and I loved how they listened and took care of each other. I also thought the setting of Hawaii and the ocean was very romantic! If you love, interesting meet cutes, beach vacations, writing, secret gardens, and sexy, cinnamon roll MMCs, then you should definitely read this book!

    This is my first book from this author, and I’m so glad I read it. It was just that perfect blend a romance book needs. Drama, comedy, and enough heat to burn through my e-reader. If you’re going to be unlucky enough for your work to blow up and become an instant viral meme, and not in a good way… landing in Hawaii with someone like Dom doesn’t seem like such a bad place to end up! Olivia could have been a lot worse to the ex, and even to the brother after the stunt he pulled, but her character was a great blend of confident, sassy, and hopeful. I have my fingers crossed that Juju will get her own HEA.

    Every girl dreams of the perfect proposal. After proposing to her boyfriend, Rex, on live tv (and getting rejected), Olivia takes an eight week sabbatical to Hawaii to escape the media and pursue her dream of writing a film script. Olivia checks into her B&B on the island only to find that Rex is staying next door with his new girlfriend. Her only saving grace — a meet-cute moment with a hot surfer, Dom, who she comes to find out is the owner of her B&B.

    The two quickly devise a plan - they’ll fake date to get back at Rex for humiliating Olivia in front of millions. But will Dom and Olivia fall in love in the process?

    Thank you to Lily Parker and Joffre Books for the ARC! I FLEW through this book. I loved the Hawaiian setting and fell in love with Dom. He fell first, and was willing to do whatever it took to support Olivia’s dreams of writing a film script. He was just so good to her. Olivia eventually finds out that Dom’s wealthy and has connections to the film industry that she’s so desperate to break into, but Dom was so humble — total boy next door. I especially enjoyed the side cast of characters, including Olivia’s best friend, Juju and sweet Prune, the stray cat Olivia adopts while staying on the island.

    The chemistry, the tension, the banter. the SPICE? Perfection. Absolutely devoured this book, and my only disappointment is honestly that the book is over and I have to wait for her next one!

    The tropes were on point (friends to lovers, forced proximity, fake dating, and all the spice!) Also, can we take a moment to appreciate DOM??? Moment of silence for that man. Loved the descriptions of him (moooooore), and he was the perfect mix of funny, protective, and swoon-worthy. Olivia’s journey from (a VERY public) heartbreak to finding herself (and love, obvs) was so relatable and heartfelt.

    The setting was the cherry on top—Hawaii was so vivid, I could basically feel the sand between my toes. Even the secondary characters (like my girl Juju) brought so much charm and depth to the story. Overall, this book was a delicious mix of humor, heart, and just the right amount of drama. If you’re into rom-coms with lovable characters, stunning settings, and “can’t put it down” energy, this book is it.

    5 stars!

    I loved this book. Dom and Liv's chemistry was off the charts. plus the place settings in the book sounded beautiful. And the short chapters made for easy reading. It's the perfect book to read over the summer months. If you like your romance novels spicy then this book is for you. I highly recommend it.
