Faking Reality is a sprightly and fun romance about a girl trying to avoid love – and the way love finds her anyway. It feels very young though, so older readers might not enjoy it, especially because the characters feel a little underwritten, and the way the heroine’s parents react to the machinations of others…

I’m pleased to say, however, that after this one, I’m looking forward to tackling that intimidating backlist. Dr. Alison Carter has spent her entire life idolizing a hero from the past…
