You've Got Male
She has zero time for a relationship. A fake one will have to do—in New York Times bestselling author Marina Adair’s new romance that brings the humor and the heart…
Evie Granger’s life is one crisis away from a complete meltdown.
Between single-parenting a sixteen-going-on-forty daughter, managing a mom living her best life way out loud, caring for an ailing father, and keeping the family’s struggling coffee shop afloat, Evie hasn’t looked after herself in far too long.
So naturally her best friend chooses this moment to post a video of Evie describing the ideal man...and sends it stratospherically viral.
Now Evie’s an overnight social media sensation and every eligible (and otherwise) guy in a five-state radius is turning up with his “I’m the one” credentials. But Evie can’t bring herself to let any Prince Charming into a life that’s barely holding together. A life she doesn’t even recognize as hers.
So she strikes a bargain with her sexy—if equally overwhelmed—neighbor to convince America she’s taken. But can a faux fairytale start to feel real...or is it just as doomed from the start?
Marina Adair’s clever, uproarious story captures the utter chaos and irrepressible joy of balancing kids, parents, love, and finding a spare minute for yourself—while the whole world watches every disastrous minute.

In a last-ditch effort to regain some control, Evie turns to neighbor and makes a deal, she'll help him get his home back in order if he'll pretend to date her to get the crowd of suitors off her back. But between the mess from having to lie to their families and the clear chemistry Evie and Jonah share, what begins as a straightforward arrangement doesn't stay that way for long.
This was such an enjoyable and heartwarming romance that, despite some of it's more outlandish moments, felt wonderfully realistic. While it had it's spicy moments, I particularly loved seeing Evie and Jonah give support and comfort to one another. Single parenthood is no easy feat and both of them were struggling in their own ways, so it was lovely watching them (particularly Evie) learn to ask for help. A feel-good love story rooted in family, You've Got Male was a delight to read.
