He’s a single dad who’s sworn off women. But who better to act as his fake fiancée than his best friend? Anesthesiologist Josh knows how to numb his feelings except when it comes to his beloved son. Five year old Noah has gone through enough heartache in his short life after his mother deserted him. Josh will do anything to protect him but can he conjure up a fake fiancée to help his son fit in … fiancée to help his son fit in at school?
As an ER nurse, Emma is trained to respond to emergencies. When she hears that all her best friend’s son wants is to have a mother to brag about at school, she jumps to fill in that role.
But are her reasons genuine or is it a chance to act out the secret fantasy she has carried most of her life?
Josh has always thought his best friend was hot. Heck, which normal functioning male wouldn’t?
But what happens when his feelings spiral out of control. Will he take the chance or is it too big a risk to lose his best friend, the woman who has been his anchor all his life?
Get this sweet romance now!

Layla Holt does it again. Weaves a wonderful story before your eyes and before you know it you have become invested in the characters. You would stand in their corners and fight for them. And boy did I want to give Josh a shake and you will too.

Very sweet “Friends to Sweethearts” Romance
This is such a sweet story. There is just something so appealing about the great dads who do everything they can to care for their children. And little Noah is the sweetest, tender little boy.
Josh and Emma already had a solid friendship, and I love those “friends to sweethearts” books!

Love it when best friends become a couple, since I read so many of this troupe though they are a bit predictable for me, especially the drama part 🙂 Author adds a plot twist to this romance which makes this stand apart as being a bit different touching on a very heartfelt family issue that Emma also has to face. I like her, she is a very realistic character because she demonstrates that love is an action word and came across as genuine in her love for her family, Noah and even Josh. Very emotional story, with sad moments but evenly balanced with happy moments. Great couple, tear-jerker, romance with depth.
I truly enjoyed reading this story and the quick turn of events. It was a great story to forget about life and get into. Great characters, great story line. I like Layla’s writing. I recommend this book!

The story of Josh and Emma is so sweet and touching. They were friends growing up but decided to keep it a friendship and not be romantic. Emma had feelings for Josh but when he married someone else, she chose to be his best friend instead. Josh is now a single dad and his son Noah is needing a mother figure in his life and can brag about at school. Josh has always thought Emma was hot but will he allow himself to follow his feelings toward his best friend? Can they pull off a fake engagement or will their true feelings prevail? A great story line and wonderful characters.

This was a fun read. I loved the relationship between Emma and Josh. I enjoyed watching the change in their relationship and how they dealt with it. Adding Josh’s son into the mix made it a little more complicated. This a sweet clean read with electric kisses. I recommend to anyone that loves sweet romance.

I loved this book! Emma and Josh are so sweet even though he messed up but he finally got it together. Noah is such a sweet little boy. I didn’t like Alexa but I’m glad she finally came back and tried to fix her relationship with Noah and tried to be a better mother. My heart broke for Nana she’s such a sweet woman. I’m am so glad that Miss Holt incorporated how Alzheimers takes a toll on a person and the family and what they go though. It’s so hard to see a loved one not remember who you are. I will definitely be reading more from Miss Holt. I very highly recommend this book!

Layla Holt not only tackled fake engagement, best friends to lovers and effect of family break up on children, but also the ravages of Alzheimer’s on patient and family. There are more than a few twists in this story and they all make for a very good book.
ONE EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER!!!
Ah snap! Layla rocks this enthralling storyline and gripping plot with on point realism so rich and lively it takes your breath away. A swirling throng of vexing contingents and a bevy of surprising mishaps catapults those swirling emotions bursting into play. Wrestling through the trials and tribulations navigating those sharp corners and tight lines that fuses this baby together piece by piece. Drama, intrigue, distress and turmoil run rampant as triumph settles into place. Throw in all the perplexing situations, revelations and a force of nature, you have the makings for one satisfying wild ride. The chemistry is intense, sizzling and palpable. The characters personalities are well matched and blend together smoothly. The scenes are graphically detailed with such colorful descriptions it paints an incredible backdrop that’s so realistic it’s like you’re right there with them. Fantastic job Layla, thanks for sharing this baby with us.
Josh and Emma have been best friends for years. She secretly was crazy about him until he met Alexa, now his ex wife. Alexa has left Josh and their son Noah for someone else. When Noah starts having problems at school Emma steps in as Josh’s fake fiance. I loved Emma and Noah, Josh annoyed me some and Alexa I could not stand. I am a sucker for friends to more and really liked this one except for how Emma and Josh both acted toward the end. The author did a great job though of an ah ha moment for both of them.
