Love You, Mean It by Jilly Gagnon
Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of Love You, Mean It by Jilly Gagnon. This is a fun HEA somewhat steamy romance and it is a fun read.
Ellie Greco is living in a small town running her family deli. She's the queen of mortadella. She quit her job trying to do costuming for Broadway when her family needed her but now she's in a bit of a rut. In comes Theo Tayler, high school boyfriend of Ellie's bff Bella. He's the rich son of a real estate family who is buying up properties all over town. When the Taylor company wants to bring in Mangia, a high=end emporium of all things Italian food related Ellie finds herself fighting for the life of her family deli.
When Theo gets a concussion, Ellie tells the EMT she is Theo's fiancée (think While You Were Sleeping) so she can accompany him to the hospital. After getting his memory back, he tells Ellie he wants to help her save the deli and keep Mangia out but she has to keep up the ruse of their engagement.
There's a lot going on - family issues, scorned ex girlfriends, meetups with families, "wedding" planning. Along the way Ellie and Theo realize that maybe there's more to this fake engagement then planned.
All in all a fun, quick fairly steamy romance.
