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.

Wow this was an excellent romance I love T.K. Leigh writing style ! Every novel I’ve read of hers I fell in love with and this one didn’t disappoint! I loved the fact that this is a story about a writer and escort getting together but Julian is so much more than an escort this was a excellent romance with guaranteed HEA ending . I loved the characters in this story great plot well done T.K. Leigh well done!!!
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Great book on standing up for oneself, having good friends, love and a good man.
This is a really good romance, with superb dialogue that sucks you in and seduces you as the story unfolds. Really good chemistry and story development.
I love a good fake relationship story. And this one was tons of fun!
This is probably the nicest love story I’ve read in a long time. Written entirely in first person with one viewpoint, the author delves deep into the main character’s feelings. There’s some sex and foul language and a happily ever after ending. Well written with wonderful characters.
**3.5 stars**
I enjoyed this! It had humor, had some emotional moments, and definitely kept me interested. I am a fan of this author’s writing style. She has the talent to easily pull me in, and she did just that with this book. Plus, I’m a sucker for a fake relationship romance.
I read out of order…I read book two first (loved it!) back in February. I’ve been meaning to get back to this series and glad I finally did. Can’t wait to read book #3!
I listened to the audiobook and I’m thinking I might’ve (maybe??) enjoyed this more had I read it. The female narrator wasn’t terrible, but she wasn’t my favorite.
This book was so needed after a lot of heavy books. The humor was great. I love a great fake relationship, but add the slow burn between Evie and Julian was a great bonus. Great writing, wonderful characters, and just the light hearted steamy book I needed!
Sweet story. Very romantic. But a bit long. There are some things I didn’t see coming. A couple of things I don’t understand. But it end quite happily!
I absolutely loved this book. It was not at all what I was expecting in the best way. It hits you in the feels.
Really enjoyed the depth you gave the characters. Enjoyed the humor in the dialogue and story. It had the backdrop of a very serious subject, but was handled in a good way and loved their HEA.
If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. I thoroughly, totally, did not want to put it down, immensely enjoyed this book. T.K. Leigh has a wonderful way with words. I just love how she puts things. Made me laugh, warmed my heart. Even the love scenes are more love then the gymnastics of describing sex. She made every person in the story feel real.
Loved this multilevel story. Wonderfully imperfect characters who are just trying to survive. I really enjoyed this book and will look for more stories from this gifted author!
You really like this woman who could not stop complaining about the way in which her longtime boyfriend broke up with her on the night of her 30th birthday when she fully expected him to propose. She caught the eye of a guy who needed a date for his summer in the Hamptons. He has issues too but there is a really happy ending.
T.K. Leigh writes some really great books.
I loved the characters, the chemistry between them. And, of course, the happily ever after!
Wonderful summer beach read
Sassy and romantic. It makes you laugh and pulls at your heart. Every female wants a prince charming in her life. It reminds me that hope springs eternal for finding him and true love
I did not expect to be enthralled, but I was. A Cinderella story for certain and one that carried me away.
Didn’t grasp my attention
