The (Fake) Dating Game by Timothy Janovsky
'This was such a fun read and I was completely obsessed with the characters and the game show aspect.' Amazon reviewer 'I absolutely adored this book!' Amazon reviewer 'It's such a fun read with lots of giggles and spice.' Amazon reviewer“Janovsky (New Adult, 2023) is an inspired choice to help Harlequin launch their new Afterglow imprint since he has a real flair for delivering sensually descriptive love scenes with steam to spare and a gift for crafting characters with whom readers can readily connect Pair this with a fun game show setting (think Supermarket Sweep) and a story line that is both humorous and thoughtful in its exploration of the grieving process, and readers are the real winners!” Booklist
'Honestly, this one sounds like so much fun and as someone who loves games shows, I’m completely on board.' – Culturess
'They’re both experiencing a low point in their lives, but this won’t stop Holden and Leon from being the cutest pretend couple. Especially if it means a chance at winning the jackpot in a national game show. Even better if it gives them an excuse to explore the magnetic attraction they are experiencing. A fake-dating romance with great character backstory and a genuinely surprising twist. You might shed a tear or two in the third act. A must-read for fans of Alexis Hall.' – Good Housekeeping
'A playful yet heartfelt romp through grief and new love… fun, fast-paced, and full of feeling' – Publisher's Weekly
'Fans of the fake-dating trope and game shows will find a lot to like here.' – Library Journal
'Timothy Janovsky’s breezy “fake dating” rom-com is ultimately rather sweet. Granted, there’s an episode involving FaceTime and a cucumber, but still. Holden grapples with grief for his mum, Leo has issues with an absent dad — together they help each other navigate life’s bumps even while looking for every opportunity to grind.' – The Times
