While We Were Dating

Trigger warnings: anxiety, panic attacks

Ben agrees to date Hollywood actress Anna Gardiner to help her win the role of a lifetime.

Ben Stephens (brother of Theo from book #3 in the series, The Wedding Party) is working at an ad agency when he helps land a campaign starring up-and-coming Hollywood actress Anna Gardiner. His attraction to Anna is immediate, but he tries to stay professional.

When Anna has an emergency and needs to go home, Ben offers to drive her to the airport. They won't make it in time for Anna to catch the last flight, so Ben offers to drive her all the way to her destination. This sets the stage for the beginning of their casual sexual relationship.

Anna's manager is drumming up ideas for good press before Anna tries out for her dream role, and he recommends using Ben as a fake boyfriend. Ben agrees to participate in the scheme, but if he isn't careful he might catch feelings.

I wholeheartedly enjoy every novel in the Wedding Date series, and they're great to listen to in audiobook format. Janina Edwards is this series in my mind almost as much as Jasmine Guillory is. Her vocal talent brings the pages to life.

Recommended for all romance readers and readers of women's fiction who are willing to try a contemporary romance.

Jasmine Guillory is the bestselling author of The Wedding Date series. She lives in Oakland, California.

I received an electronic galley copy of this title from the publisher through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I also received a digital audio recording of this title from the publisher through the Volumes App as a librarian review copy. I read the latter edition.
