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.

Dating Games was a sweet and delightful read. The story flowed from one page to the next and kept me entertained. I was pulled into Evie and Julian’s lives. They had their ups and downs but we’re so perfect together and I was cheering them on. They were very likeable characters. I felt their emotions and saw their growth. I liked the drama, passion and surprises in this story. All the characters were great. I’m looking forward to Chloe’s story next.
What do you do when your boyfriend of over a decade dumps you on your birthday? When you were expecting an engagement ring and not him saying it’s over? You get drunk with your best friends! Evie never expected her life to change in an instant. And she certainly never expected to wake up in the bed of another man! Or that that man will offer her the chance to make her ex jealous and maybe get him back in exchange for her help to get what he needs. But what happens when during that time you find out that what you wanted may not be what you thought it was?
I absolutely loved this book! Evie is absolutely awesome (as are her friends) and I loved her from the beginning! She is down to earth and isn’t afraid to tell it how it is. Along with keeping true to who she really is! Julian has so many secrets and issues but you can’t help but fall in love with him. Even when you find out his big secret, you still love him. Or at least I did! There are so many different aspects to how their relationship plays out that I couldn’t put the book down once I started it and I didn’t want it to be over! And the ending? It was beautiful!!
I loved this one. It has been a long time since I read a book from this writer. So glad I decided to read this one. Funny,full of romance,tender moments, a book you can definitely enjoy. Evie is trying to celebrate her 30th birthday. But her boyfriend of 12 years changes the happiness that should be her birthday. So off to the bar she goes. After that night her life changes in so many ways. Julian walks into her life but holds a huge secret. He gets her to agree to a game but that game Will change them both. Absolutely love Evie and Julian together. These two are perfect for each other in more ways than one. Amazing storyline amazing characters. Can’t wait until the next one comes out.Highly recommend.
I don’t know if I can find the words to express my love for this book! T.K. Leigh’s message in this book, the message Julian tries to teach each of his clients, spoke to me in a way I’ve not had happen from a book. I feel I read this book at the perfect time for what has crashed down on me in my personal life. I could go on and on with how this touched me and why, but you are not looking at this review to hear about me. What I can tell you is this is a book you DO NOT want to miss.
Yes, it’s a rom-com. Yes, this has some hilarious whit. But, there is also meaning, inspirational words that have touched me deeply. There is also heartache, deception, angst, and a twist you will not be expecting! There is also a love, a connection, that I hope I will find someday. Something I hope everyone has the opportunity to have.
T.K. Leigh has written a masterpiece! One I know I will read again and again!!
Oh how I loved this book, it was my first by T.K Leigh and definitely not the last. Evie and Julian are absolutely made for each other. Their banter was hilarious and their sexy, hot chemistry had me fanning myself.
I could not put the book down as I needed to know what happened next. The ending did not disappoint and I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a fun romcom and a love story.
Dating Games will take you on an amazing adventure. This story is a romantic comedy that will have lots of laugh out loud moments and it will make you scream at the same time. The sexual tension between Evie and Julius starts from the very beginning. The way to story flows will have you sucked in from the very first page. Evie is a hardheaded, sassy, fiery redhead and Julian is a handsome billionaire with tons of secrets. When Julian asks for a favor from Evie I knew that was going to be a roller coaster of a ride. Amazing Story! First of T.K Leigh five star reads of the year!!
Writer Evie Fitzgerald is blindsided when she gets dumped by Trevor, her boyfriend of 12 years. Evie wants to get back together with Trevor and when the handsome Julian Gage suggests that she date him to make Trevor jealous, she refuses because she thinks it would never work. When Julian proves it could work, Evie agrees to agrees to become Julian’s fake girlfriend for the next 2 months but what happens when Evie starts falling for Julian?
Dating Games is a funny, angsty and steamy story you won’t be able to put down
For everyone who loves a good rom-com that makes you snort, I’ve found the perfect one for you. Evie and Julian’s relationship and banter will make you laugh out loud. It’s hilarious because you don’t expect a man like Julian to have a sense of humor but the retorts he has, made me fall in love with him so much. He is so sexy.
Evie is my spirit animal and together they make the perfect pair. Add in a little drama and it makes this the perfect must read! I highly recommend.
Dating Games is a great read. Evie is a down to earth girl. She says what’s on her mind. On her birthday when she thinks she might finally be getting a ring her boyfriend dumps her. I instantly felt bad for her but she has amazing and funny friend, Nora and Chloe, that are there to pick her up. On her birthday, she ends up going home with a guy she calls Mr. Suit and then flees his house in the morning. She runs into him again when she is trying to land a story on an elite escort. Mr. suit is Julian. Jillian is sexy and sweet. He propose to help him out and help her get her ex back that she pretend to be his girlfriend for the summer. I loved how Evie didn’t immediately jump at the change but she finally does agree to it. I was a little leery of Jillian at first. He is kind of a mystery and he has layers. The more I read the more I wanted these two to get their happy ever after together.
I love a good rom com. This book was amazing! T.K has outdone it again. Evie is a woman that people can relate to. After being dumped by her long term boyfriend of 12 years, she goes to her friends and proceeds to drink and vent. Granted she told the bar, but she inspired someone who soon enough would capture her heart. How to describe Julian…. swoon!!! He is sweet and sexy. Of course, he has his secrets. The fireworks between these two are holy crap powerful. I love how he insists on calling her by her proper first name, Guinevere. There is so much to say about this book, but I don’t want to give anything away. This book is a must read. I could not put this down. I read straight through.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This is a fun book full of wit, humour, sexual tension and angst. The characters are fun. Evie and her friends make you want to hang out with them. Julian is the perfect man, he is sexy and loving and very thoughtful. The story is a slow burn but you will have trouble putting it down. It is a great read.
DATING GAMES by T.K. LEIGH is the story of Julian and Evie.
Evie thinks her life is going great…all planed out until her 30th birthday when he 12 year relationship comes to a end. Giving into self pity she lets loose and drinks to much which leads her on the path to Julian. Julian is handsome rich and has secrets that he is keeping. A bargain is made that if Evie does his pretend girlfriend he will help her get back her boyfriend. Sounds like a good plan where they both get what they want until Evie realize she wants something else. This was such a fun romance! Loved it and will look for more books by this author!!
Evie is my hero! More women should be like her, not afraid to be true to one self
.
Anyway, after reading the first chapter I was so ready to kill someone!
From what I have read from T.K Leigh until now, is that I never know what to expect next in her stories.
There’s just the right amount of humor and drama. Mixed with romance and sadness.
There’s a short step between laughter and tears.
Rocket Man by Elton John suddenly got a whole new meaning after reading this book and this segment had me laughing so hard. Then closer to the end of the book I was a teary mess.
Just perfect.
And now I got to watch Breakfast at Tiffany’s…
Amazing story with all the feels. Starts out with a sassy, sexy woman who does not know her own worth, dumped by the man she has spent the last 12 years with. Like many would, she doubts herself and what she has to offer. Enter a wonderful, but flawed hero who shows her what she really is and teaches her to value herself. Filled with great wit, sexy chemistry and well developed characters you root for as the story builds, this is a standalone in what looks to be a great series. Well written, this touches on a real social issue with care and compassion as well as reality but leaves us with hope and a HEA.
Evie is turning thirty and she thinks her longtime boyfriend is going to propose but he does the opposite, he breaks up with her. She is sent into a tail spin and ends up with a one night stand so she sneaks out first thing in the morning but then they meet again and they strike a deal, he will help her get her boyfriend back and she will be his fake girlfriend. That all sounds innocent enough until real feelings get in the way. This is packed full of laughter, crying and happiness. Well written story with so much fun and romance. Loved it.

My second top read of 2019.
Evie and Julian are amazing. The sexual tension in this book is so thick you need a knife to cut it!
When life hasn’t gone the way you want it to sometimes you need some reminders of why you are important and some help knowing you are enough and everything to someone.
This is a book I wish I could go back and read again as if I had not read it before.
There is so much I wish I could tell you but all I can say is you NEED TO READ IT! You won’t be sorry that you did.
I really enjoyed this Cinderella story it was fun and had me laughing and on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was going to happen next.
I love happy endings and this book didn’t disappoint.
Thank you for letting me read this book
This book was so much fun to read. I fell in love with each character as I got to know them. Its lighthearted, funny and at times will well your eyes with tears. It is a feel good read filled with smiles and tears. I highly recommend this book
Julian Gage is every woman’s wet dream. Attentive, complimentary, sexy as hell and just as broken. Evie is a planner to the extreme but when Trevor breaks up with her on her 30th birthday after 12 years she never planned on turning her break up into a public speech via stand-up comedy style at the local watering hole. Enter the sex God mentioned previously, aka her savior Julian. When he whisks her away to a fairy-tale summer she never planned on falling in love. Follow her Cinderella story and watch her grow into a real life Princess but will Prince Charming do to her heart?!
Love can’t be planned.
That phrase says so much about this book. I admit, it took me a while to get into this book and I almost gave up on it. I’m so glad I didn’t. There is so much to this book; feelings of inadequacy, lust, love, deception, secrets, chemistry. The haves and the have-nots. No matter how much we want to think differently, this is something that is still very prevalent in our society. But love doesn’t see any of that and this book makes that abundantly clear. Love is the acceptance of the good, the bad and even the ugly; most especially the ugly.
One of my favorite reads of the year so far.
