I had to read it. I had no idea that people used the term ‘Canadian boyfriend‘ for a fake one ( to explain why he wasn‘t around) this was easy and sweet but covered some hard targets ( grief, eating disorders, therapy) I thought the therapy sessions were handled well, the sex wasn‘t overly spicy or formulaic. Romance isn‘t a go to genre for me but this was fun

Mirazzles I agree! It was a fun read! 5mo

I have to admit, I love the title. I think this is hilarious. “He‘s not fake…he‘s Canadian.”
So far, it‘s cute.

Both the concept and the execution of this book are killer. A former ballerina and a professional hockey player! They help each other heal with mutual respect and understanding! Therapy for all! Canada!! You can't go wrong with Jenny Holiday. #contemporaryromance

A ballet teacher and widowed father that plays for a Canadian hockey team find serendipity and love in this second chance romance that includes fake dating, personal baggage, and healing in this rom-com style sports romance.

This was one of my most anticipated this month and I was not disappointed! Very cute and sweet romance that does go into some heavy topics (TW for eating disorders and spousal death). My only complaint is that the FMC referred to the male love interest by his whole name for the entire book. 😬 That was cute for about a minute then it was just annoying. And unnecessary. But I really did enjoy it overall!

This was the type of audiobook that makes me walk a few extra blocks so that I can keep listening - great narration and a story that is sweet but not lacking in emotional oomph. Both characters learn some hard lessons on their journey and I always love well done character growth. What I didn‘t love was the blown out of proportion conflict. It was frustrating not necessary at all. #fourfoursin24 #balletcrochet

It's been snowing a little this morning. Dreary day. Going to liven it up with an ARC of Jenny Holiday's next romance. Book tagline is "He's not fake. He's Canadian."?
