Nala is a workaholic, but she loves her job as a fashion designer. Her friends and grandmother want to see her work a little less and enjoy her life some more. When a bucket list Nala wrote years prior resurfaces and her grandmother wants her to complete everything on that list before she can work on her passion project of making dresses for girls with disabilities. Eli is a hockey player and heading back to his hometown for his cousins wedding. Instead of going alone or being set up with some women his mom finds, he blurts out that he has a girlfriend….but he doesn’t and now he needs a fake date ASAP.

I loved the chemistry between Nala and Eli from the start. There was just a natural connection and flow between them. There was just something fun about their relationship and I loved seeing them go through Nala’s bucket list. There is the perfect mix of sweet, funny, and hot scene between them.

This story was super fun to read and hooked me from the beginning. I loved Nala and Eli, plus all the secondary characters. Especially, Sarina and Abby with their adorable princess dresses. Those two little girls really brought a special light to the story.
