Another day, another author crossed off my to-binge list. This is Hayden Hall's Frat Brats of Santa Barbara series. The first official novel is "The Fake Boyfriend Debacle."
["We think we're fooling everyone with our fake relationship, but maybe we are the only fools around.
Caleb
Nobody ever looks past the mask I wear. Nobody bothers to scratch the surface. Not until I meet Jayden Harris, the adorably bossy scholarship student with a razor-sharp focus and an unbreakable determination to be the best of us all.
He says he doesn’t have time for dating. He says I’m just a player. Yet every chance we get, we orbit one another. If I could prove to him that I’m worth falling in love with, he might change his mind.
But asking him to be my fake boyfriend for a massive family gathering probably wasn’t my greatest idea. Dad is tearing us apart and my will to fight for control over my life is fading. My plan is ruined.
We’re a lost cause, but I just…can’t…let him go.
Jayden
It was just a one-time thing. And then a two-time thing. And a three-time thing… Before I know it, I’m in his fancy car, heading to the Wine Country for an extended weekend. My mission? Be the loving boyfriend you bring home to meet the parents.
I’m risking my scholarship and my future at the elite Highgate Academy for a charming stranger in need of a boyfriend. Why? I wish I could tell you. All I know is that Caleb’s funny, hot as hell, and has the most adorable secret ever.
But there’s more to him than I imagined. The wealth he enjoys traps him; his father controls him. And he thinks I’m the key to his freedom.
I’m doing my best to convince everyone that we’re a couple.
But maybe I’d be wise to remind myself that we are not."]
This book was so cute! I mean, they were half in love and fully obsessed with each other even before the fake dating "debacle" (can you even call it fake dating when they want to be dating but life seems just a little too complicated and complex and difficult for it?). They were so cute together. They supported each other with just looks and smiles. They shared secrets and dreams.
And there wasn't any third-act break up. There was a small...debacle and miscommunication, but it was minor and very quickly fixed. As was the fake in their fake dating situation.
