My Project Fake Date Book Review - No Spoilers
Plot Summary
Project Fake Date: A BWWM Billionaire Romance from the Billionaire Bliss series centers on Nora, a model who lands back in New York City looking for a new start after fleeing threats in Paris. Trying to move forward, she ends up needing help—her older brother’s best friend, West, is a billionaire with the means and reasons of his own to play protector. He’s got a reputation as a playboy but needs to convince his family—and the press—that he’s finally settling down. When stalking threats against Nora intensify, West and Nora agree to a fake dating arrangement. Their public appearances become part security plan, part ruse for West’s benefit, but the line between fake and real starts to blur. This story brings together classic tropes like fake dating, brother’s best friend, billionaire hero, and forced proximity—mixing high society scenes with real vulnerability and a thread of suspense as Nora’s stalker looms in the background.
Why I Love This Book
What I love most is how this book balances sizzle with real emotional moments. The tension between Nora and West feels genuine—the “fake” situation amplifies their chemistry but also exposes their fears and insecurities. I connect with Nora’s awkwardness and her struggle to hold her own in a world that judges her looks but knows nothing about what she wants. West surprises me; underneath the billionaire bravado, he’s careful with Nora, determined to help her believe in herself, and the praise kink in their dynamic works without feeling over the top. Their friendship group pops with lively, real banter, and the pacing keeps the story light without skimming over the deeper stuff. Sometimes the plot is pure escapism, but the mix of playfulness and spice makes it hard to put down. If you’re looking for depth, you might wish for a bit more, but every “dating lesson” scene feels earned and fun. There’s still space for hope and self-discovery within all the steam—the story never loses its heart.
Who Will Like This Book
If you love fake relationship tropes, billionaires who actually care, and brother’s best friend energy, this one is for you. The story fits fans of BWWM romance and those who enjoy forced proximity, playful banter, and very spicy scenes that never fade to black. If you want a lighthearted romance with some underlying suspense, you’ll be happy—but if you need deep emotional drama or slow burns, you might want something else. There’s a lot of praise kink here, so if you enjoy a hero who boosts the heroine’s confidence, add this to your list.
