Great “fake boyfriends that aren’t fake” read.

The two main characters in this “fake but not fake boyfriends” story are both really likeable and I was cheering them on from the very beginning.
Julian is an adorkable history professor with some quirks. When he’s socially anxious he tends to ramble and he also rambles when talking about his passion - history. Ben is the owner of the historic Stonecastle B&B and is a genuinely nice guy but the business is causing him a fair amount of stress and he’s feeling under pressure.

Circumstances have Julian and Ben living together in Stonecastle as fake boyfriends but it doesn’t take long for the spark between them to burn bright. This naturally blurs the lines of the fake relationship leading to a miscommunication that causes some angst for them both, until a grand gesture has them back on the way to their HEA.

This is the second book in the Coleridge Cliffs series and I found it to be a very easy, enjoyable read.
I put this into the low-medium heat category with a bit of angst and a romantic HEA that left me smiling at the end. We also get a sneak peek at which side characters will get their story told next.
