Heart Eyes: A Grumpy and Sunshine, Fake Dating, Small Town Romantic Comedy (Holliday Family) Kindle Edition

4.3 out of 5 stars 31 ratings

Dean’s a grump who wants to be left alone. Hannah's a liar in need of a fake boyfriend.

While photographing a sexy Valentine’s Day photoshoot, Hannah Holliday tells her models that the grouch who owns the hotel they’re shooting at is her boyfriend.

This is news to Dean Harris, her quote-unquote ‘boyfriend’.

Hannah has her reasons, but none of them matter to Dean, reluctant hotelier. He’s busy avoiding his guests and trying not to leer at the tall, freckled boudoir photographer. As his best friend’s cousin, Hannah’s off limits, and having the Royal Hotel linked to her boudoir photography business is a risk he can’t afford.

But before either of them can say tit pic, Dean’s attending a wedding as Hannah’s fake date, and learning how to sext.

The relationship might be fake but the horniness is real.

Heart Eyes is a 29,000 word romcom novella. It's a fake-dating, grumpy and sunshine story set in a small town in New Zealand, featuring phone sex and dirty talk. TWs include dissolution of a marriage (off-page, historic) and alcohol consumption (on-page, mild).

"Steamy and satisfying." USA Today bestselling author LENORA BELL.

"Hilarious, heartwarming & deliciously spicy." Pacific Passions author COURTNEY CLARK MICHAELS.

"Divinely Feminist." Goodreads review of Eyes On.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I'm officially an Esme Brett stan.

    "Sure, I was a heterosexual and sexually-inclined fish, but men were bicycles. Or something."

    I devoured this in one sitting.
    Hannah is a boudoir photographer who quickly has to revise her shoot location and the only place with availability is run by Dean, the reluctant owner of a beautifully renovated home stay... did I mention he is also her cousins best friend.

    This little book is packed with hilarity and sizzling chemistry. Not to mention the sexing that was impeccable (I needed way more of it). My only complaint is that this book isn't a full length novel because please give me more.

    “…his jacket hugged him like a horny Chardonnay mum on a wine tour.”

    Hannah is a boudoir photographer. Unfortunately the picturesque B&B she has booked and is planning on setting her photo shoot has over booked and she quickly has to pivot.

    Enter reluctant hotelier Dean (who happens to be Hannah’s cousin’s sexy brooding best friend), and his newly renovated historic home stay.

    The New Zealand rural setting makes for the comedic background with almost naked models and slippery eel encounters - this scene had me in stitches.

    💛 grumpy sunshine
    💛 fake dating
    💛 cousin’s best friend
    💛 age gap
    💛 forced proximity
    💛 hilarious antics
    💛 spicy

    I absolutely adored this book and can’t recommend it enough.
