Today, HJ is pleased to share with you Emma Hart’s new release: The Accidental Girlfriend

 

Spotlight&Giveaway

 

Hi! Thank you so much for having me. I’m excited to be here to celebrate the release of THE ACCIDENTAL GIRLFRIEND, my brand new fake relationship romcom!

 

TOP TIP: Don’t put out an online ad offering your services as a fake date. Someone will take you up on it.
And it won’t just be for one night.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how I ended up being Mason Jackson’s fake girlfriend.

He didn’t even want me to be. No—his sister was solely responsible for me being his date for his ten-year high school reunion.

Now, she’s responsible for telling his parents our relationship is real.

We have no choice. We have to act like this isn’t all a mistake, like it’s not all fake, like we’re totally, completely, utterly, head-over-heels in love with each other.

Simple, right?

Wrong.

 

Enjoy an exclusive excerpt from The Accidental Girlfriend 

“Stop staring at me,” Lauren said without looking over her shoulder. She grabbed the toast as it popped. “What do you want on your toast?”
“No, and do you have peanut butter?”
“No. I hate peanut butter.”
“How can you hate peanut butter?”
“Because I have tastebuds. It’s Nutella, strawberry jelly, or butter.”
I sighed. “Nutella is fine.”
“No.” She turned and pointed a knife at me. “Nutella is not fine. Nutella is the nectar of the gods.”
“Oh no, are you one of those people who eat it from the jar with a spoon?”
“Only when Mother Nature sends me my monthly love letter.” She spread the chocolate onto my toast with a flourish, plated it, and handed it over. “Otherwise, I try to control the urge.”
I looked at the toast. “I don’t think I’m hungry anymore.”
“Was it the monthly love letter thing?”
“Little bit.”
“What else should I call it? Shark week? The red river? The hormone war?”
“Just referring to it as your period would suffice.” I sat on one of the stools. “And please don’t ever say ‘the red river’ again.”
She watched as I bit into my toast. “I thought you said you weren’t hungry anymore.”
“I wasn’t. But I’m a man. I had a moment, but it passed.” I tore another piece off with my teeth.
Lauren rolled her eyes as she tugged a stool around slightly and sat down. “Of course it did.”
My phone buzzed on the counter, and I leaned over. It was a message from Trevor asking if I wanted to grab a beer tonight. I replied that I did before sitting back down.
Lauren finished her toast before I did. I was about to speak when Henry bounded up onto the counter out of absolutely fucking nowhere and sat on my plate.
“That’s okay, Henry. I was finished.”
Lauren jolted around. “Oh, my God! Is he sitting on your toast?”
“Yep.”
“Henry!” She darted over and grabbed the cat, then lifted him up. “Now you have a Nutella butt!”
“Does that cat ever sit anywhere appropriate?”
“Yes, the window, but only when the sun hits it right. Ugh, now I have to bath him.”
“Better you than me.”
“Wait, you aren’t going to help me?” Her eyes widened.
I finished my coffee and laughed. “No. He’s not my cat.”
“He sat on your toast!”
“It’s not my fault your cat has issues. It’s not even an “If I fits, I sits” situation, Lauren. He just…sits. Whether he fits or not.”
She jutted out her lower lip. “Please. Have you ever bathed a cat?”
“No, and I don’t ever intend to. I don’t even think I like cats.”
“How can you not like cats?”
“Easily. I’ve met yours twice, and he’s sat on my head and now, my toast. He’s not really trying to endear himself to me.”

    That was hilarious! I can’t wait to read the book and find out if Mason stays to help Lauren with the cat. Their fake dating would be fun to read!

    Emma never fails to make one do a spit take while reading her books! Great excerpt! Thanks

    Sounds interesting. I’ve had lots of cats who would happily sit on plates but they’d want to check out the food first in case they wanted to eat it. lol

    I love Emma’s books! This one will be no exception judging by this. Lol
