My rules for being a Manhattan billionaire’s fake girlfriend… No kissing. No fooling around. No falling in love. What can possibly go wrong?Note to self: When your boyfriend dumps you on your thirtieth birthday, it’s probably not the smartest idea to drink so much that you wake up in the same bed as the mysterious hottie wearing the gorgeous suit who you noticed sitting across the bar.The only … sitting across the bar.
The only silver lining in my obvious lack of judgment is the promise of never seeing Mr. Suit again, not in a city the size of New York.
Or so I thought, until a story I’m working on about the country’s most sought-after and elusive escort lands me in the same café as Mr. Suit. So I do what any self-respecting woman of my age would do in my shoes… Try to ignore him.
But he won’t let me.
Instead he makes a proposition that leaves me questioning whether I need to have my ears checked. Be his fake girlfriend for a summer of wealth and excess in the Hamptons. In return, he’ll help me win back my boyfriend’s heart.
Juvenile? You bet.
Effective? Could be.
Bad idea? Most likely.
But what do I have to lose?
Apparently, a lot more than I originally bargained for.
Let the games begin…
Dating Games is a standalone modern retelling of Cinderella meeting her billionaire Prince Charming. If you like a sassy heroine, a sinful hero, and a whole lot of laughs, then you’ll love this fake relationship romance.

The book is a good romantic comedy read. The story has a good story line. The characters are good, and they have good chemistry. The story is entertaining read.

What a unique storyline with some interesting plot twists! I really enjoyed Evie & Jilian’s dating escapades. I loved the descriptions of the places & people during their time in the Hamptons. The characters were so well written, I can’t wait for more books with this group!
I like sweet love stories. You know, the kind where the boy and girl are all smitten with each other, but somehow can’t seem to admit it. Now add a bit of humor, a whole lot of hotness, and some undeniable attraction and you’ve got a T.K. Leigh Rom-Com.
Let’s meet Evie, the heroine! She’s funny, sarcastic and spunky. She knows who she is and she’s always been ok with that, until her thirtieth birthday.
And then there is Julian, the hero! He’s sexy, rich and he’s all in his feelings. Oh yea, and he keeps major secrets.
He’s giving her confidence and she’s giving him clout. The combination of these two makes for one of the funniest, smartest and most entertaining books I have read in quite a while.
T.K. is so good at giving us an array of stories. The angst she car write, the compassion she can pen, and the humor she can tell . . . all make her one of the best of the best.
Whether it’s a gritty raw romance, angst riddled love or a bit of a mystery wrapped in romance. T.K. Leigh can write them all beautifully.
Dating Games is the story of Evie and Julian.
I absolutely loved Evie! She is fierce, she is sassy, she embraces her quirks. Even when the person who is supposed to love her doesn’t. The way that you read about Evie’s insecurities makes you love her even more! She has a group of ride or die friends that every gal wishes they had.
Julian is an enigma, wrapped in a riddle and surrounded by secrets and scars. It was moving to see how he adapted to his “relationship” with Evie.
There is a bit of a mystery in this story, you get hints early on, so play close attention, don’t rush through this story, savor it!
The chemistry between Evie and Julian is a slow burn of epic proportions. Julian, holy swoon, that man has game! From small touches to his words are just wowza…. To see them both navigate their arrangement, from beginning to end was something that I didn’t want to see end.
I have yet to read a book by Ms. Leigh that I haven’t enjoyed immensely and Dating Games is just another jewel in the crown of her success as a writer.
I absolutely loved this book. While this is packed with humour there is also a vulnerable side to it as well. Evie the fiery, sassy, redhead & Julian the handsome billionaire with loads of secrets, who she meets while unloading her dumping by her boyfriend of 12yrs, in a bar.
These two have an arrangement for a few months with her being his pretend girlfriend. As usual it turns out to be more. Of course there is more to it than that but I don’t want to spoil the experience as I went into this blind.
I could say their love was epic but as this only takes place over a few months it seems like it was longer. Saying too much would take away the feels you get along the way.
This is not some silly chick lit it’s actually more than that with a host of great secondary characters to add to the mix.
Our couple brought out the best in the other helping them get over their own personal issues. The author nailed it with the slow burn & chemistry & not totally focusing on the sex. A truly great read.

Wow where do I start. I am totally in love with Evie and Julian. Evie is stubborn always has everything planned out and lives life to her own beat. That is until that ordered life is thrown for a loop. She is left wondering what happened and starts to realize what she has been missing out on. Enter Julian. He see her and is intrigued with the captivating woman who marches to her own beat and has to get to know her better. This is their journey of realizing that what they thought they wanted out of life is not what they want at all. How wanting something you think is out of reach isn’t.
Just when you think you figured out what is going to happen there comes an unexpected twist and it makes you love these two more that you did before. I couldn’t put this down. 5 stars isn’t enough for this book and I can’t wait to see what is next.
I just love it. It have everything, a spunky heroine , a romantic broken Prince Charming, lot of humour, some uncommon situations who keep you reading until you reach the end.
