I’ve become such a fan of this author’s writing and in “Operation: My Fake Girlfriend” she showcases more of her brilliant balancing of witty banter and comical scenes. While this story definitely has its hilarious side, the relationship developing between Grace and Sebastian also lends itself to a softer, sweeter and more heartfelt side, adding an emotional layer that will tug at your heartstrings in between all the laughter. The storyline was engaging from the start, and I now have a new favorite fictional cat, Geraldine, whose character was an ingenious catalyst of some laugh-out-loud moments. The epilogue leads the way into the next couples’ book and I can’t wait for all the comedic deliciousness I’ve come to expect from this author and series.
Listened on audio: Narrators Sophie Hunter-Scott and Sunny Patel did such an amazing performance! I loved the British accents and together they captured the characters’ emotions and personalities perfectly, making it a fun and entertaining listening experience!
Very funny fake girlfriend to lovers story. Sebastian is happy being a playboy, but has to get a girlfriend for his grandpa to give him reigns to the family business – hello Operation My Fake Girlfriend. A hook up with Grace a few weeks before has her on his mind, and when he finds out she works for his family’s company, he enlists her to help him. Grace, a bit of a pushover, if we’re being honest, ran out on Seb after their hookup when she realized who he was, and was hoping to leave it at that. But his offer, and the offer to help with her ailing geriatric cat, Geraldine (a boy, btw), at the workplace, has her agreeing to the crazy scheme.
In true rom-com fashion, there are some silly moments, with lots of heated, steamy undertones. Sebastian is truly clueless when it comes to romancing a woman outside of the bedroom, let alone trying to be in an equal partnership relationship with one, so he does some face-palm inducing things throughout. Meanwhile, they are both fighting off their mutual lust, because it’s “only for a month”. There are some very funny, laugh out loud moments – a more than one are related to Grace’s cat. But there is also a nice amount of sweetness, as well as steam.
Overall, a quick, fun listen, with some heat in for good measure.
This is a fun opposites attract romance.
Standalone with no cliffhangers, the epilogue does lead you into the next book.
Grace is a good girl who always does for others, including agreeing to Sebastian’s crazy dating plan.
Sebastian is always in charge and will do anything to finally get control of his grandfather’s business, even repeatedly hurting a woman he is beginning to think too much about.
Can these two work or will she run when he screws up one to many times?
I listened to this on Audible.
I really enjoyed reading this story .
It was entertaining and definitely steamy.
The characters are great . It’s a very well written story . It is delightful and emotional .
Sebastian Stone needs to settle down so he can take over his grandfather’s company . He makes a deal with Grace Harper to be his fake girlfriend till he can convince his Grandfather to turn over the company . Things get interesting and doesn’t go as Sebastian first planned . I highly recommend reading this delightful romance .
Loved the story of Grace and Sebastian who both had many relationship issues to work through. Though Sebastian started out a player he really evolved into a more loving and committed human with Grace. He was also a good influence for her because he taught her how to be more assertive and have more respect for herself. Great read!
This book was a riot from start to finish!!! I love a good romantic comedy and this journey between Sebastian and Grace had me howling with each new chapter!!! Sebastian wants to show his grandpa he can be responsible enough to take over the family business by pretending to have a serious or fake girlfriend you can call it. Grace is a one night stand that he tries to convince to play that girlfriend. She is Witty and full of sass. Can this sexy charmer if a bachelor convince her to be his? So Damn cute and funny you won’t be able to put down. Definitely winner and must read.
I’ve discovered this author not a long time ago and let me just say that I’ll be stalking her forever.

Emily James is freaking amazing. Her writing is spectacular and so freaking awesome.
Just give her a chance and you’ll see.
Operation: My Fake Girlfriend is her latest release and explores the lives of Sebastian and Grace.
Sebastian seeks his grandpa’s approval. He was working alongside him in their company and needed to seek more success. But his pop’s always saw something that wasn’t right. He was getting a bit fed up with it but what could he do?
In order to gain control of the company he had to prove to his grandpa that he was able to care more about someone else than him. That he was capable of giving himself to someone but…
Grace had to move out because she needed a fresh start. She caught her boyfriend cheating on her with her roommate. Now she’s in another town making ends meet with her cat. One night stand was supposed to be just that until it wasn’t.
This was a sweet short story that melted my heart.
I really loved the plot, loved how it was written and I simply adored all the characters.
Like the greedy girl that I am… I always want more.
It was a great story that lifted my mind and heart.
I adored every chapter and I read it in one sitting.
