Faking It Till You Make It by Sierra London is a wonderful small town romance that is both heartwarming and a fun read. Introducing us to a new series, this is the first book to a charming series, The Calvary Brothers. We are taken away to a little town called Service, where everyone takes care of one another and if you think you are just passing through, think again. We are introduced to the Calvary family, who find themselves in a challenge, to save their family business.

Trying to get away from her past, Amerie Walker finds herself in the middle of this small town with nothing but determination and ambition to pick up the pieces of her life and get the life she deserves. One thing she needs is a job and when she comes across a position at a veterinary clinic, despite some obvious underlying sparks between clinic doc Eli Calvary, he doesn’t want anything to do with this city girl breezing in his place. With her infectious personality and business savvy knowledge, she has everything he needs to help turn his struggling business around but he’s too stubborn and grumpy to embrace it.

When an encounter with the daughter of the family who is threatening to take everything away shows up at his door, he finds himself in a situation introducing Amerie as his fake partner not realizing the door he opened for both of them. What initially started out as fake, they find themselves slowly growing real feelings towards each other. When they both finally feel like fate brought them together, their past comes crashing in unraveling secrets changing their lives and those around them.

What I loved most about them is their chemistry and the evolution of their fake relationship into them being together. Their journey brought fun and tension to the book that made them addicting to read. The banter between them was not only cute but many moments you can’t help but laugh out loud. Not only them but the supporting cast of his family and her friend added to the charm and kept the book engaging. There was an authenticity of the characters including the people in the town that made you want to go for a visit.

Initially when the fake relationship trope was introduced, I thought it was going to be predictable but it wasn’t. It created an anticipation and want for them to be together but blended it with other plotlines that kept it fresh and page turn worthy until completion. This was the perfect introduction to a series that will have you interested and anticipating the second book. It gives the perfect combination of romance, small town charm and moments that will make you laugh. Between the charming characters and engaging storyline, this one will leave you feeling good.
