New York Times bestselling author Shannon Stacey delivers the feel-good beach read you’ve been waiting for.
Noah Stafford loves his life—his happy, single life. So what if he made up a fake girlfriend to stop his boss’s matchmaking? He kept things close to the truth—Carly really does have long, sexy legs and a killer sense of humor. She just happens to be his best friend. His wicked awesome and completely platonic best friend.
But now his boss is having a destination wedding, and Noah is expected to attend…with Carly, his girlfriend.
Carly Randall has no interest in living out a rom-com plot. But Noah is her best friend, so she agrees to help. Still, once they arrive on Cape Cod, she can’t explain the sudden butterflies she feels when he looks at her that way. Or why she doesn’t mind when Noah’s hands stray a little south of her back.
What happens on the Cape stays on the Cape.
Except not really, not at all, and once their sexy faux-cation is over, Noah and Carly return to a reality where everything’s changed. Going for it would mean risking their friendship…but forgetting how good they were together just isn’t an option.
What I thought about One Summer Weekend
Noah needs a big favor from his best friend -- that is acting like they are more than just best friends at his boss's wedding. It takes a little bit of convincing, but Carly agrees to help Noah with the fake relationship in spite of her friends warning her that it seems like some sort of romance novel, and you know how that ends up.
One Summer Weekend is a quick best friends to lovers story that just warmed my heart and reminded me once again why I just love Shannon Stacey's writing. It's sweet and swift and left me feeling good. Noah and Carly are just that good together. Perfect for when you want something short and a bit steamy.

Oh I really enjoy this author and didn't realize this one was coming. One of my favorite tropes is the fake relationship. Great review!
