Straight out of college, five friends with a dream joined forces to build success. Ten years later, their exclusive fitness club, Flatiron Five Fitness, is the hottest destination in Manhattan. People flock to F5F to get fit, to get lucky, and even to fall in love. The founding partners have been immune to F5F’s romantic spell—at least, so far...

Tyler McKay has a plan...
And it doesn’t include a serious relationship anytime soon. Between his day job and being a partner at Flatiron 5 Fitness, he’s busy investing in the future. But Ty knows that going stag to his sister’s wedding will encourage the family matchmakers: he needs a fake date, fast, in self-defense. When the one woman who hates him walks into F5F, Ty knows he’s found the perfect candidate—that Shannyn doesn’t play by anyone’s rules just leaves Ty wanting more...

Shannyn Hawke is done with love and romance...
She had her whole life mapped out, but it all went wrong. Now, she’s taking care of number one and living in the moment, with no concern for the future. If her college crush wants to trade a fake wedding date for physical satisfaction, Shannyn is in. But just one night proves that Tyler is everything she believes a guy should be, plus he takes it as a challenge to change her mind about him. Shannyn never wants to have her heart broken again, but she’s falling hard and fast. Can she remember that it’s just for show? Or will Tyler convince Shannyn to take a chance on forever again?

Just One Fake Date. Great read

Julia Kent fan

Fun and intriguing. Couldn’t put this one down. Loved this second chance love story!

Crazy not lazy

Just One Fake Date. I tried really hard to read this book. It was boring as heck. The author spent over 500 pages having the character decide whether or not to have her roof fixed. The characters were boring and the story didn’t flow. If u want to waste your time, read it. I’d rather go to the dentist!

Aedriftboy

Wow!. Never did my head spin so much at the back and forth banter of the two main characters. Lots of fun negotiations, creative solutions, and heart warming back stories for each character. Hope Aidan gets a story too and wished they explained more about Cassie, teased of an issue but no follow-up on it. HEA, great characters and friendships, a hard to put down kind of book. You will enjoy. on to read the rest of the series!!

Skiplayer1

Lovely. This story is very emotional and beautiful. I loved it and highly recommend it .

Julibpatel

Amazing read!. This book was a good read! It keeps you on your toes as you won’t expect what comes next! The twists and turns the characters take had me entrapped. I finished it so fast as I couldn’t put it down. Would definitely recommend!

Mommbee

Best book I have read lately.. First book in the series and it is awesome. The author does a wonderful job detailing each member in the book. You get to know the characters and why they make the decisions that they make.

NewEarthorBust

4 1/2 stars - Surprising. There are many “fake date,” “fake engagement,” and “fake marriage” premises amongst the romance genre. I can’t believe this one surprised me. Figured it would be mostly cliche, maybe good for a few chuckles. But, as others have said, the dialogue was great. And, the characters (even the supporting one) have a lot of depth. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and I bet you will, too.

Kath-lee

Just one fake date. Quick fun and witty read. The characters were fun and honest and a perfect match for each other. They made me laugh out loud a couple of times and so I enjoyed reading their story. Well done.

Jodiola41

A great read. It was a great book that keeps you guessing as to what the characters are going to do next.

Kenzee rose

Good read. This book starts off fast, not in a bad way. It keeps you interested and on your toes. Seeing the story from a different point of view is refreshing and delightful. Great read, go for it.

secrets revealed, history told, obstacles hurdled. Tyler McKay, one of the founding members of Flatiron Five Fitness, is desperate to blunt his Mother’s incessant attempts at matchmaking, and having a date to his sister’s wedding in a few weeks is part of his plan. When Shannyn Hawke, a young woman he briefly knew at college many years ago, appears at the fitness club for a photo shoot, Tyler throws caution to the wind and agrees to an outrageous deal where she would be his fake date for the event. The fact that Shannyn seems to enjoy provoking Tyler intrigues him, as he struggles to change her long ago opinion of him. As secrets are revealed, past histories told and obstacles hurdled, Tyler and Shannyn move closer to their eventual HEA. As usual with Ms. Cooke, her stories are well written, pulling you into the characters' lives from the first page, and unwilling to let you go after the last page. I highly recommend this book. A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book and my comments here are my honest opinion.

Just one fake date. Funny, sweet and a great read!

MarshaNelson

Story is very slow. ...

Kelechi O.

Great story line. The author took time to develop the storyline and plot of the romance and bonding between the characters.

Floridabridgelady

I really liked the story line.. Compelling story. Very much like real life.

Luzida117

Fake date. Was given an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion. Shannyn Hawke is a live in the moment kind of girl. She has been hired to take pictures of a gym called Flatiron Five Fitness. However one of the members is Tyler McKay who she had insulted while in college. Tyler McKay is one of the members of F5F. One of the things that Tyler remembers is Shannyn telling him that he was a smug entitled a-hole. Shannyn is willing to go on a fake date with Tyler in exchange for a night of sex. Must read to find out what happens.

stubborn, quirky and energetic characters. JUST ONE FAKE DATE is the first instalment in Deborah Cooke’s contemporary, adult FLATIRON FIVE FITNESS erotic, romance series focusing on the five friends -owners and proprietors of the exclusive Manhattan fitness club Flatiron Five Fitness-Tyler, Kyle, Damon, Cassie, and Theo. This is Flatiron Five Fitness part owner and financial consultant Tyler McKay, and photographer Shannyn Hawke’s story line. NOTE: JUST ONE FAKE DATE is the rebranding and rewritten story line of Tyler McKay first introduced in the original SIMPLY IRRESISTIBLE. The author has reworked and reimagined Tyler’s story so that it no longer resembles the original release including a new heroine whose personality is in complete opposition to the one before. Told from several third person perspectives including Tyler and Shannyn JUST ONE FAKE DATE follows the building relationship and romance between former college classmates Flatiron Five Fitness part owner and financial consultant Tyler McKay, and photographer Shannyn Hawke. Shannyn Hawke’s latest assignment finds her face to face with a part of her past she had hoped to forget. The odd woman out in a class of beautiful and sexy students Shannyn discovered that she was the only woman whom Tyler and his group of friends never considered worthy of their time. Fast forward twelve years wherein Shannyn is offered an opportunity to photograph the owners and members at Flatiron Five Fitness, an opportunity that finds our heroine falling in love with the man who had once broken her heart. Tyler McKay, along with his business partner Kyle Stuyvesant vaguely remembered our heroine but something about Shannyn pulled at Tyler’s rapidly beating heart. A one-night stand proved not to be enough for our story line hero so Tyler made Shannyn an offer she couldn’t refuse- a fake date for his sister’s wedding in exchange for a few weeks together to keep his mother and sisters at bay. What ensues is the acrimonious but building relationship between Tyler and Shannyn, and the potential fall-out as Shannyn struggles with past heart break and pain, and the realization that she is on the outside looking in as it pertains to the McKay family dynamics. JUST ONE FAKE DATE is a Cinderella story. Shannyn struggles to make ends meet, and Tyler is a man of wealth and stature. Shannyn is a strong-willed, independent and oft-times exasperating heroine who needs to be in control of her destiny and her life. Tyler McKay knows to stop his mother from harassing him about his love life, he is going to need to act fast, and Shannyn is the perfect foil to his mother’s need to control his life but Shannyn refuses to draw outside the lines, and in this sets a set of rules to be adhered, rules that Tyler is determined to break. The relationship between Tyler and Shannyn is a frenemies to lovers in which Shannyn battles between head and heart. Having suffered heart break in the past, Shannyn refuses to be placed in a situation where she could once again, lose her heart to a man who is unable to see beyond the truth, and in this, Shannyn is determined to take control, having the upper hand when it comes to losing her heart. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text. There is a large ensemble cast of colorful secondary and supporting characters including Tyler McKay’s partner at Flatiron Five Fitness: Kyle Stuyvesant, Cassie Wilson, Theo Tremblay, and Damon Perez: Tyler’s sisters Stephanie, Lauren, Paige and her husband Derek, Katelyn, and their parents Jeffery and Colleen McKay; Shannyn’s brother Aidan, and her best friend Kirsten. JUST ONE FAKE DATE is a story of family, friendships, business and love; of heart beak and revelations; of acceptance and hope The premise is engaging and inviting; the characters are stubborn, quirky, and energetic; the romance is spicy and moving.

Sat76

Absolutely brilliant. I really enjoyed this book. The challenges thrown down by each character and the gentle story line made this a delightful read. I loved the dialogues and glimpses of the stories of the supporting characters through the narrative. A much better modern love story than a lot of the usual ones out there.
