The Accidental Girlfriend, an all-new hilarious romantic comedy from New York Times bestselling author Emma Hart is available now!
Top Tip: Don’t put out an online ad offering your services as a fake date. Someone will take you up on it. And it won’t just be for one night. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how I ended up being Mason Jackson’s fake girlfriend. He didn’t even want me to be. No—his sister was solely responsible for me being his date for his ten-year high school reunion. Now, she’s responsible for telling his parents our relationship is real. We have no choice. We have to act like this isn’t all a mistake, like it’s not all fake, like we’re totally, completely, utterly, head-over-heels in love with each other. Simple, right? Wrong.

The Accidental Girlfriend popped my proverbial Emma Hart cherry. And for me, the book was a bit of a mixed bag. It was witty and sweet and so dang funny. That being said, I found the humor a little forced. Almost like what ridiculous thing can I make her say next. And some of the dialogue, especially from Mason, was repetitive. There was something so endearing about Lauren that I couldn't help but like her. She spoke her mind no matter the subject. And what she was more than sure about was that she didn't want a relationship. Even with the super fun and charming Mason. How these two met was unconventional but totally fitting for them. As hard as they tried to fight it, there was no denying the chemistry between them. Both Lauren and Mason were reluctant to admit their feelings to themselves, let alone the other. It was a super slow burn with loads of sexual tension. And when they finally gave in...whew! hot!! But their secret was bound to come out, and when it did, all bets were off. A meddling sister, an awesome girl gang, a jealous ex and a sassy old lady added to the overall charm of The Accidental Girlfriend. While I feel like there could've been more time with Lauren and Mason actually together, I liked the way things played out. Emma Hart's writing was light and easy with no major drama but a whole lot of laughter.
Excerpt: “I’ve seen you eat nothing but junk. Are you one of those irritating people who can eat what they want and put on no weight?”
“Okay, first.” I held up one finger. “You look like you could walk into the cast of the Avengers, so don’t come at me with that. Also, I run. Every day. And I don’t always eat junk.”
“You run?” His eyebrows shot up.
“I don’t know if I should be insulted or not.”
“No, I just—you don’t look like a runner.”
“And you don’t look like Chris Hemsworth, but here you are on my sofa looking like a dark-haired Norse god,” I shot back. “What’s your point?”
He held up his hands, fighting another laugh, one that made his eyes shine. “Hey, I have a physical job. I rarely get to the gym, but I’m always moving.”
“Have you ever worked behind a bar? I’m not exactly running a call center back there. It never stops sometimes.”
“Do I look like I mix cocktails?”
Doing what he’d done just minutes before, I took a long, hard look at him, from head to toe.
It was a mistake.
If I were a sloth, I wouldn’t just climb him like a tree; I’d hang off him for a nap, too.
Lord, he was hot.
Focus, Lauren.
“No,” I said. “You look like the lone wolf who waits for the cocktail-drinking girls to accidentally spill their drinks on your shoes.” I glanced at the time. “Speaking of, I have to go and make those cocktails.”
Mason grinned. “You want me to come and get hit on by drunk girls?”
“As someone who has no say in your life whatsoever, I don’t care what you do.” I stood up and looked at him over my shoulder. “As your fake girlfriend, I’m a bit of a tiger, so I wouldn’t.”
“I know.” He snorted, following me to the front door with his laptop tucked under his arm. “I’ve seen you play the possessive girlfriend. If this weren’t all fake, I would have been a little turned on.”
I locked the front door and tossed my hair over my shoulder. “Please. You were totally turned on.”
He said nothing as we headed for the stairs.
“You can say something. That was a joke.” I glanced at him, heat rushing to my cheeks.
His lips pulled into a smirk, eyes flashing. “I reserve the right to not respond.”
