At the beginning of Elle Gonzalez Rose's Caught In A Bad Fauxmance Devin is headed with his siblings, his dad, his dad's girlfriend, and her son to spend winter break at the family's lakeside cabin. It's the first time they're going there in four years, the first time since his mother died.
Devin's family and the clan next door, the seo-Cookes, have years of bad blood between them. The Seo-Cookes had gotten wealthy off of a won on a bet robot Devin's father had invented. The animosity had been rekindled every year at the Lake Andreas Winter Games, a local competition that raises money for the community. The Seo-Cookes won so consistently the Baez clan (Devin's family) is sure it's through cheating.
This year the Seo-Cookes want to renew the competition. They have an offer the Baezes, who are financially struggling, can't refuse. If the Baezes win they'll pay off the rest of their mortgage. But if the Seo-Cookes win the Baezes will have to sell them their beloved cottage which they'll raze.
This is all out war. But while Maya, Devin's vengeance-minded twin, is whipping the family into shape to win, an unexpected plot twist is developing. Julian Seo-Cooke wants Devin to pretend to be his boyfriend so he can escape from a stalkerish ex.
While Julian made his proposal Maya was eavesdropping. She's sure this fauxmance will give Devin the chance to spy on the Seo-Cookes and learn their secrets and weaknesses…
…unless the romance turns real. And what are the chances of that happening?
On a purrrsonal note, Last weekend was mostly about writing a big paper for my American Community College class. But I also went to Governors for breakfast and on a road trip with Eugene. I found three cat shirts at the Belfast Goodwill. I am SO looking forward to yard sale season.
