Synopsis:
As an audiobook narrator, Clementine Cox
has no trouble mastering the voices of space aliens, elven warriors, or even
demon-possessed cats. But the moment she tries her hand at an erotic romance,
she’s stumped. With her deadline looming, she books a week at a secluded cabin
to restore her inner muse, telling her loving-but-overbearing family it’s a
romantic getaway with her not-so-existent new boyfriend to keep them from
worrying. She never expects them to invite themselves along to meet the new
guy. Now, she has less than twenty-four hours to find a pretend boyfriend in
order to save her job and, potentially, her sanity.
Workaholic Jake Donovan isn’t interested in a real relationship. After a broken engagement, all he wants to do is focus on keeping his brewpub, the Holy Grale, afloat. But when he finds out his favorite customer is in need of a fake boyfriend, and his business partners insist he take a long overdue vacation, he has no choice but to help Clem out. All he has to do is enjoy the sunshine, play nice with her family, and keep his hands to himself for the week.
But Jake’s not prepared to like waking up next to Clem every morning as much as he does. Or to feel so welcome by her quirky family. And as the line between real and fake starts to blur, he realizes one week might never be enough.

REAL KIND OF LOVE Excerpt

With a deep breath, she
opened her eyes to see Jake standing in front of her with his arms crossed. She
swallowed the bile rising in her throat, reminding herself that if
mortification could actually kill, she’d have been a pile of ashes by now.
“Tomorrow?”
“Thanks for playing
along. For the record, you die of Ebola tonight. Or dysentery. Whichever one
works faster.”
“Clem.” He tilted his
head toward her, voice deepening to a low growl. “Why do your sisters think
we’re dating?”
“I kind of told them I
was going on a romantic getaway this week so they wouldn’t tag along on my
vacation. Except instead of giving me space, they booked the cabin right next
door and now I need you to use that hammer to build me a tiny little coffin
while I curl up and die.”
“Wait a second,” Julia
said from the dining room doorway with Eli standing next to her, grinning. “You
lied to your family about having a boyfriend and now they think Jake is coming
with you on vacation tomorrow?”
“Of course you and Eli
overheard,” she mumbled. “I know it was a terrible idea but—”
“It’s a great idea!”
Clem wiped her clammy
palms against the ugly pair of basketball shorts she was still wearing and
tried to fathom the reason for Julia’s wide grin. “Sure, if you think watching
me dig myself into a deep hole with no escape is fun.”
“You don’t need an
escape. You need Jake.”
“What?” Her and Jake’s
gazes met like a head-on collision.
Eli rubbed his palms
together. “I don’t know what devious idea is churning in your brain, Sis, but I
have a feeling it’s going to be good.”
“It’s simple. I need
Jake to get out of my hair for the next week before he micromanages the wedding
I’ve been planning to death, and you need a fake boyfriend. It’s perfect.”
It would be perfect, the
devil on Clem’s shoulder whispered. Her family was so desperate to see her in a
relationship, they’d probably actually give her some space this week. Maybe
even enough that she could focus on the recording she needed to turn over to
the publisher two weeks from now.
But it was a ridiculous
idea. There was no way Jake would go for it. He had a business. A life. A fiancée.
Crap. “You can’t be serious?”
“Sorry, man,” Eli said,
raising his palms. “My vote’s with Julia. We outnumber you.”
Jake’s jaw clenched so
hard, Clem could see the pulse point ticking in his neck. Her heart thumped
against her chest as she waited for him to laugh at her. Or shake his head in
disgust. Because there was no way he would actually go through with this.
She braced herself for
rejection as he turned toward her, expression grim. “I’m game if you are.”
Holy shit.

Deciding to get away, she books a week at a secluded cabin. This is where her problems really start. To stave off her family worrying she indicates that it is a romantic getaway with a boyfriend who doesn’t exist. What Clem doesn’t count on is the family deciding to go along so they can get to know her boyfriend.
Enter Jake Donovan who doesn’t want a relationship, having been burned by a relationship gone bad. Jake is trying to keep Holy Grale, his brewpub afloat. When he learns of Clem’s need for a fake boyfriend, he decides to step in and help her out.
How hard can it be? A week relaxing without any worries should be easy, right?
Of course the best laid plans are often complicated. Jake finds it getting harder and harder to resist the beautiful Clem, not only that but her family is great.
What happens when Jake wants to change the goal posts? When he begins to realise that there could be more to his feelings for Clem and that it has the potential to become real, will he run or will he convince Clem to take a chance?
I really loved Jake and Clem; he will do anything to help Clem save face with her family. Her family were quirky and fun and led to several laugh out loud moments.
I really enjoyed reading Real Kind Of Love and cannot wait to read more from Sara Rider.
