This book was so much fun and so steamy, I loved it! I have previously read The Nanny and loved it, so I knew Lana was an author to be on the look out for. I’ve never read an omegaverse novel before, so I was a little hesitant but I’m glad this was my introduction into the omegaverse. (if you aren’t sure what an omegaverse is, @lana has an awesome guide on her Instagram about what it is and things to know!)
I loved the giant grump that Noah is, which is not surprise since grumpy sunshine is one of my favorites tropes. But to watch his growth and character progression through out the book was really amazing. I loved the Noah we got in the beginning but I’m obsessed with the Noah he was in the end. Mackenzie was adorable and I absolutely love her! She’s a young doctor, whose grandmother keeps setting her up on bad dates and to get her off her back tells her she is dating her incredibly hot but grumpy coworker. What could go wrong? (I’m not telling, you got to read to find out 🤐)
THE STEAM. I’m trash for a good spicy book and Lana did not disappoint in this department in the slightest. If anything the steam was essential to the plot considering this is an omegaverse novel and I think it was done very well. I rarely give books 4 stars for spiciness and The Fake Mate exceeded my expectations!
Overall I really loved The Fake Mate and can’t wait to see what Lana has in store for her readers next. I see she has a hockey romance coming out soon, uhhh sign me up!

✨BOOK REVIEW
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice:🌶️🌶️🌶️
In case you didn’t know, I haven’t read much by Tessa Bailey, but everything I’ve read I have adored. That is no different for Fangirl Down. This by far tops the list as my favorite Tessa Bailey book. Filled with lovable characters, an amazingly done grumpy x sunshine trope and a diabetes rep that was respectfully done it is no wonder everyone is in love with Josephine and Wells.
Thegrowth of both characters in Fangirl Down was fabulously done. I loved especially seeing Wells growth from his rock bottom to being the person he was meant to be. There were so many laugh out loud moments in Fangirl Down but also many moments that made me cry and cheer for their romance. (I’m sensitive, I cry at everything.)
THE SPICE. Tessa Bailey has been known as the “Micheal Angelo of dirty talk” according to interviews and reviews and with Fangirl Down I can 100% confirm that. The spice was well done and not cringey like some romance novels can be. It was real and fun to read, but I do definitely recommend this book to people who love open door spice and are 18+ years old.
Overall I loved Fangirl Down and loved how we got to meet the characters for the next book in the Big Shot series, Burgess and Tallulah. (The hockey play x nanny trope? Sign me up!!) I wish there was more of Josephine and Wells, the epilogue wrapped their story up nicely but I do hope we see cameos of them in The Au Pair Affair!
Would I recommend?: Yes
Would I reread?: Yes
Me and my girlfriends decided to have fun and read this. This is that last time I let them pick the book though.
When they sent me the link for the book on my kindle I was like: "Oh hell no!" Which they found pretty funny.
But then as I read through this I was surprised. Jenny defiantly put some in sight of a clubbing life and dirt bag guys. Some advice in here I could use were others I can't.
You are able to see into what Jenny thinks in this novel and I like that. It shows you that she isn't all that she seems.
I wasn't impressed with his book but I gave it three stars for the fact:
1) I like Jersey Shore
2) The advice is pretty helpful to some people
