I absolutely love a fake dating/marriage trope and this one was in my top favs. I loved Owen and Colin. Colin’s whole vibe is just pure comedy and when you get to see past that comedy your heart just melts for him. Having Owen come out his shell and learn to well how to be Owen was amazing. This one gave me all the emotions, especially at the end. Geez my heart just ached for Colin. It was funny, sweet, spicy, steamy, cute, heartfelt and all around a great story!! Oh, let’s not forget the banter with Colin and Oliver, it was flipping hilarious! I’m excited to see what is next from Andi and JR!!
