Amazon's Best Romances of January · Buzzfeed's Romance Books To Look Out For In 2023

When a couple starts to feel like they’re married to a stranger, a flirtatious game of pretend becomes the spark they need to reignite their relationship.


Eliza and Graham are anticipating an anything-but-sexy, weeklong getaway to celebrate their five-year anniversary. Nestled on the Northern California coastline, the resort prides itself on being a destination for those in love and those looking to find it. For Eliza and Graham, it might as well be a vacation with a roommate.
 
When a well-meaning guest mistakes Eliza and Graham for being single and introduces them at the hotel bar, they don’t correct him. Suddenly, they’re pretending to be perfect strangers and it’s unexpectedly…fun? Eliza and Graham find themselves flirting like it’s their first date, and waiting with butterflies in their stomach for the other to text back. 

Everyone at the retreat can sense the electric chemistry between Eliza and Graham’s alter egos. But when their scintillating game of roleplaying ends, will they still feel the heat?

I enjoyed the premise around Eliza and Graham's story. After five years of marriage they feel almost like strangers. Things have changed and it takes a week long anniversary trip, role playing as strangers, and the help from family for them to realize what those changes are. This was so good! It was relatable. Relationships are work and I felt like this book was a wonderful portrayal about the bumps in the road marriages take on. This had the perfect level of spice for my current mood and I enjoyed reading an adult romance from these two authors. I've enjoyed all of the YA romances I've read and they continue to be one of my favorite author duo's! I definitely recommend this!
