I received this book for netgalley in exchange for a review.
I tried to get past this book for the most part it was enjoyable i just could picture some of things happening even in book world.. I just dont think fake dating troupe and being supernatural is something that intrigues me. The cover is beautiful and the book is still easy and enjoyable to read.

A funny cosy romcom that had me falling in love with a fictional place.

This is sticky sweet, but it works so well. The witchy vampire elements are low key and friendly, no blood sucking or cruel curses here.

The fake dating trope is not one of my favourites normally, but my oh my does Lindsey do if well!

All in all a great read and I will be checking out this authors back catalogue for more cosy fun reads.

I got this arc after the book was published and out in the world so I'm not sure if this review is useful, but thank you NetGalley so much for allowing me to read and review this! I'm happy to put my opinion out there!

I'm always up for a vampire romance, and this romcom was fun and sweet, but not particularly for me. This modern-day vampire romance has a classic romcom/hallmark vibe with an isolated vampire lord causing mystery and suspicion upon the town. When a new witch coming into her magic is tasked with finding a venue for their witchy rituals, our heroine makes a determination to use his mini-mansion and strikes a deal to pretend to be a couple which ends up benefitting them both. This was cute and fun but didn't feel particularly new or unique. I'm not really a fan of these modern vampire romcoms, so I don't think this book was made for me, but I think people who read romcoms and contemporary romances would really enjoy it.

this was quite cute. I liked going back to charming cove…a lot! I cannot wait to go back. I enjoyed the conversations about family and worth and trust and it was just both compellingly cute and deep!

A cute fake dating story and dual POVs. Syrupy sweet. I would have loved a bit more world building around the witch and vampire dynamics. Fun, frothy read.

I thought this was charming! Desperately wish it focused a bit more on the vampire aspects of a vampire romance but... you can't win them all. This was sweet and cozy, even with the disappointment on the vampire-front.

A cute fake dating romance. The writing was really easy to read and I really enjoyed reading about Emma and Alaric

There wasn’t much vampire specific plot to this book though which was the main downside of this story if you’re looking for a vampire romance.

If you’re looking for an easy enjoyable fake dating romance give this one a try.

⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ Rounded Down

This was a charming, cozy witchy novel set in Charming Cove world. This book is easily a stand alone or a great continuation of the series. It was an easy ready with low stakes. I was disappointed that the vampire elements weren’t really that exciting - they just put blood in their drinks and no other traditional vampiric elements apply to them. A trope that is not my favorite also occurred in this story, though I saw it coming from the get go. Overall, a charming read.

Thank you NetGalley for the chance to read this in exchange for an honest review.

The writing was easy to read and it steady pace an I enjoyed the light hearted small town romcom but I have to say I enjoyed book 1 a lot more then the second instalment I would still recommend this to anyone that enjoys a light hearted romance.

Thank you to netgalley, author and publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for a review.

It was an okay read it wasn’t what I was expecting but I do tend to read more adult now and this is more very YA. It had a cute concept but I was expecting a bit more going by the title. Love the cover though!

This book was so good! It was intriguing and really drawed me in. I'll be reading more of this authors work.

This book had a good plot and was fairly entertaining.
However I couldn’t get over how non-vampiric the main lead was. I wasn’t expecting a horror/morally grey character but felt all main characteristics were removed.
I did read to 75% and will probably finish at some point as there’s nothing wrong with the writing, I just couldn’t get invested enough in the 2 main characters.

this was a fun read! it really is the perfect little fall vampire book! it's not my favorite, but it also wasn't the worst thing i've read!

“She smiled, and I found that I wanted to make her smile like that every day, forever.”

3.5/5 ⭐️ How To Fake-Date A Vampire is a cute romantic comedy where the lines of fake dating become blurred. We get to explore more magical entities in Charming Cove. The book has a good pace and some character development for both Main Characters, Emma and Alaric.

Thank you to the author, NetGalley and Bonnie Doon Press for this Advanced Reader Copy (ARC).

I don’t hide the fact that I’m iffy when it comes to romance books, especially ones that are contemporary. Not really my thing, but if I do read romance I usually will go to those dark ones because why not? Crazy guys who you would normally stay very far away from in real life? Give them to me.
This is not one of those.
I think the thing that bothers me most with romance books is that the couple falls in love and lives happily ever after in, what, a week? If that? I know books are supposed to take you away, and aren’t realistic, but the insta-love thing just isn’t for me.
If you can’t tell by now, this really wasn’t for me. However, it was well written, the characters were cute, and I can see a lot of people really liking this one. It’s a title I definitely recommend to the romance lover, just not one I would read again.

This one had me with fake date a vampire. Fake dating a troupe that I enjoy. And I'm a buffy stan. So give me a rom com with a vampire and hooked. I enjoyed this one. I look forward to other books by this author.

I'd like to thank Netgalley and Bonnie Doon Press for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This can definitely be read as a standalone. I really enjoyed Emma and Alaric's world. This was a straight up clean romance. Not too heavy on the drama and was pretty light hearted. This was a pretty fun book to read and I like the banter between the characters. Super cute romance.

Although this is a part of a series, I read this as a standalone and although jumping into this world was very confusing at the jump because I was not expecting this to be a modern-day fantasy, with cars and modern-day tv shows, it was relatively easy to piece all the puzzles together. With that being said, I need to go get the first book LOL

But overall, really enjoyable, a light easy romp, perfect for those times you don’t want to think too much, but enjoy a bit of fun. The writing is smooth and easy with a touch of humor (like a perfect amount). I Loved it.

I just couldn’t get into this one very much. The characters and story just fell a bit flat. It wasn’t bad per se, just wasn’t for me.

I loved book one and was so excited to continue the series, but unfortunately, I just simply could not connect with this one! I'm not sure what it is about it, but it took me a few tries to get into it, by rereading the beginning. And then I couldn't really connect to the characters enough. Maybe this just wasn't the right time for me to read it, which happens sometimes. I will be reading the next book though, because I do enjoy the world created. Thank you for giving me a chance to read it!
