Freebie Friday #24

I had so much fun in September, reading whatever I’m in the mood for, that I thought of doing the same in November, where I read whatever I’m in the mood for from my Kindle, since I have been adding way too many books on there. The excuse I gave myself is that they are novellas or short reads, so they will be perfect for Dewey’s 24-hour readathon, but there is no way I can read like 40 in 24 hours. I also realised that in November, there’s another round of Readathin. So, in a way, I’ll kill two birds with one stone.

Hey Everyone

As you know, I’ve been trying a new thing for me, where I share a book I love and provide a free eBook link to it, if possible

I went into this book, thinking it would be light and easy to get into. Boy, was I wrong. I was searching for free books, thanks to my new, annoying hobby, and managed to get the whole series at once before I start to tell you that it’s best to read the books in order, since some elements might be lost otherwise. Kieran Callahan got it all: looks, a famous actor, and he’s straight, or so he thinks.

Entering the picture, we have Miles Rivera, who just got fired and dumped twice, which, as fate would have it, was roped into faking dating this actor. It’s the way they reacted to each other in the first half of the book that is what threw me off. However, I’m curious about what other readers think about it, which is why I’m doing this.

First Lines:

In the blissful moment between sleep and wakefulness, Miles Rivera doesn’t remember where he is. He almost expects to find Frank sleeping beside him as he rolls over and nearly tumbles off the couch. Sharp daylight invades his eyes as someone opens the curtains.

“Do you have any idea what time it is?” Chloe’s voice slices through the air.

 “Huh?” he mumbles, still half in a daze. The reality slowly sinks in as he recognizes Chloe’s living room.

“Three in the afternoon,” she informs him, bustling around and picking dirty mugs from the coffee table. When her eyes land on him, her expression softens with concern. “You should’ve taken the guest room. This couch is going to kill your back.”

Goodreads Blurb:

Miles Rivera is the biggest loser in the world. Who else can get dumped twice, lose his job, and end up living on his best friend’s couch? And when her brother shows up on the porch, Miles is officially, royally screwed.

Kieran Callahan is everything Miles is not: a famous actor all over the tabloids. Tall, gorgeous, with razor-sharp cheekbones, bottomless blue eyes, and a muscular body that turns heads everywhere he goes. Kieran Callahan is also straight. At least, Miles thinks he is. Having him wandering shirtless around the house is a distraction Miles can’t afford while figuring out how to get his life back together.

The cherry on top of that cake? Miles’ ex announces a sudden engagement to his new boyfriend and invites Miles over to their house for a weekend-long celebration.

Taking pity on Miles, Kieran suggests posing as his boyfriend. But the whole thing gets quickly out of hand. The public displays of affection are getting not-so-public. Their looks, kisses, and touches don’t feel so fake anymore. The lines start blurring. Or is Miles imagining things?

As he tries to navigate his feelings for Kieran, something else is going on in the house, something dark and sinister.
A sudden realization dawns on Miles, which he is horrified to say out loud.
