A Small Town, Fake Dating, Enemies to Lovers, Standalone Romance from USA Today and Amazon #1 Bestselling Author, Laura Pavlov.

Lulu Sonnet is the bane of my existence.
She’s caused me more physical pain than any man should ever endure.
From an accidental throat punch to a near death by shovel—
Don’t even get me started on that vicious pool ball accident where she almost robbed me of my family jewels.
She’s a hot little heathen, and what’s worse?
She’s staying in my brother’s rental house while I’m temporarily living in the guest house.
And now she needs a favor.
A fake boyfriend.
I’ll dote on her for a few weeks, she’ll return the favor so my boss’s daughter will stop nagging me, and then we’ll part ways.
It seems simple enough.
Until we end up in the same shower.
And then the same bed.
The lines are blurring.
She’s beautiful and fierce and sexy all at the same time.
But Lulu isn’t staying in Rosewood River forever.
The place I call home is just a pitstop for her.
But suddenly everything I thought I wanted is no longer important to me.
My fake girlfriend has turned my world upside down.
And now nothing feels right without her.

**This is book 2 in the Rosewood River Series. Each one can be enjoyed as a complete standalone. A HEA is guaranteed!**

So so good

Oh the banter! Loved it. This was an awesome instant enemies to lover’s delicious story. Loved every second of the audiobook. The narrators did a fantastic job. I loved how they transitioned from annoyed banter to falling in love banter. The 😍 I wore through this whole book is insane. I laughed out loud and squealed as Rafe and Lulu found their way to their HEA.

I feel like this review is a hot mess so I’m sorry pleasure forgive me my head is still a sappy mess after finishing this book. I love love loved this book and I could not get enough. I couldn’t wait to get to the glorious ending but at the same time I didn’t want to leave these characters. Loved the story and you should read it. ❤️

Chadwick Family is back!

We are back in Rosewood River and this time it’s for Lulu and Rafe.

These two were firecrackers from the very beginning. They have so much chemistry and I loved watching them go from butting neighbors to fake dating to more.

I like that we get to watch Lulu stand up for herself more and more as the story goes on. I also like that we get to see the softer side of Rafe.

We have plenty of family group chats, which are always a highlight for me! Those brothers/cousins are hilarious!

I can’t wait for book 3! The epilogue sets it up perfectly :)

Incredible!!!!

• Thoughts:
Perfection!! Straight up perfection!! I loved Steal My Heart. But My Silver Linning! Oh my heart! Loved it! The chemistry, the loathing, the side characters, the banter. (Ugh, chefs kiss) Seriously, their meet cute had me busting a gut! I adored Lulu and Rafe. Once they became friends, you could tell they just understood one another. Their relationship was effortless, They were a huge support to each other as well! You could tell they wanted the other to succeed in life in a big way. My review jist like the first book is not going to do this book any justice. I have a feeling this series is going to be a serisz where i have multiple book trophy formates.
When i tell you there is banter, trust me. Lulu dishes as good as good as she gets. She is quick amd lets be honest, knocks RaFe flatt on his butt. I also enjoy the text threat between the boys of the family!! Hilarious!! Rafe is a great, big hearted guy who has a ton to give!
Not only was the story well done, but the narrators that were closen couldn't have been more spot on!

NARRATOR THOUGHTS:
•Narrators: Vanessa Edwin and Sean Masters
•Duet Narration
•Listening at a 1.5 speed.
Vanessa and Sean killed it. I mean, i am gonna need more of these two in a pairing for audio! It was great. Vanessa is so good at delivering sass!! So good. She knoss how to deliver! Sean, ugh, he was brilliant!! These two are tight. I highly recommend this is the drink here


I always encourage people to read what makes them happy. If it sounds good, read it! My reviews are just that, my opinions. I do, however, hope they are helpful and provide a little insight in helping you to determine the next book you will pick up and read.
Happy reading, friends.

Favorite Couple!

Lulu and Rafe have hands down been my fave couple of LP! They were hilarious, hot, so freaking sweet and the chemistry sizzled from the first throat punch! The guy chat was freaking hilarious, Beef Cake was wise beyond his years and Lulu was unapologetically herself! I absolutely adored their story! I laughed so much! Their connection just drew me in from their meet cute! Lulu is guarded and Rafe doesn’t think he will find that great love. I loved seeing them break down each other’s walls and it was magic with their push and pull! I cannot wait to get to see the other guys fall so hard!

Spicy and fun romance story!

My Silver Lining, book two in the Rosewood River series is spicy, fun and absolutely addictive!
Rafe lives in Rosewood River and Lulu is visiting her friend, Henley while trying to put her life back together and they find themselves living near one another, but they definitely don’t mesh at first, but both are in need of a fake date for one event each. Can they but their differences aside? It seems they can because what starts out as fake turns into so much more for both of them.
I also had the added benefit of listening to the audio version of this story and the narrators did an amazing job that absolutely added to my enjoyment of this book!

Love the voice overs

I love a good romance novel!! This series is fantastic and always fun to read. Highly recommend..

Addicting 😍😍

Rate ♾️⭐️

HOLY SH*T!!! I am sooo grateful I got this early because I couldn’t wait for this to be released 😍

This was AMAZING — I loved the first book in this series and I loved Lulu when she visited Henley so I knew I would love her book but WOW it was so much better than I could of expected!

And even though there is only 2 books so far in this series this is the best between to two!

The way these two came together way amazing. They brought out the best of each other and the way they supported each other even when they were still “faking” it.

I truly don’t know how it’s going to get better than this but like every book before I will never doubt Laura Pavlov! I loved reading their love story but I knew I needed this on audio and holy crap did it take it to another level!

Fake Dating done right

Fake dating is seriously one of my fave tropes and this book does it in the best ways. The story was so heartfelt and the banter was top notch! The narrators were perfect for this couple and they did fabulously bringing these characters to life!

Laura Pavlov does it again!

Listen, this book is cute as hell. I loved the brother banter, Beef Cake sittings, and the main characters ate.

Lulu and Rafe

My Silver Lining takes us back to Rosewood River for Lulu and Rafe's story. Laura has made me fall madly in love with all things Rosewood River, and I never want to leave. Lulu and Rafe's hilarious fake dating, enemies-to-lovers romance had me hooked from the start. They have one of the funniest mute cutes I've ever read. Love at first throat punch? Yes, indeed.

Lulu is in the charming town of Rosewood River to spend time with her best friend, Henley, before moving to Paris to expand her jewelry business. She's also trying to avoid drama from her attention-seeking ex. Henley's boyfriend, Easton, offers Lulu his home for her stay. Rafe, Easton's brother, is staying in the guesthouse because his own home is being renovated. Things don't start great between Lulu and Rafe, but when both need a fake date, they agree to help each other out. Soon the lines begin to blur, and their pretend relationship starts feeling real. I could not get enough of Lulu and Rafe. The chemistry between them is fantastic, and their banter is some of the best I've read. They definitely knew how to get under each other's skin, and I loved every second of it.

With Lulu leaving for Paris in three short months she is determined to keep her emotions at bay. The tension was thick and I loved when they decided to give into their feelings for each other. I loved Lulu's personality. She is confident, strong, funny, independent, and knows exactly what she wants for her life. Rafe is the perfect book boyfriend. He is protective, patient, and genuinely cares for Lulu. Rafe was exactly the type of man Lulu needed. They were so good together and I loved how they showed up for each other. As always, Laura gives us the best characters and found family element. The Chadwick family is so fun and of course, my boy Beefcake is the star of the show. It was also good to get more of the Magnolia Falls crew. I adore this series, and can't wait to get to know the next Chadwick brother.

Narration:
Vanessa Edwin and Sean Masters perform this audiobook in duet. Their performances are phenomenal. Vanessa and Sean are two of my favorites and I could listen to them read just about anything. They are the perfect voices for Lulu and Rafe and brought them to life beautifully. Vanessa and Sean perfectly executed the banter between the characters and I could feel every emotion. This was an amazing listening experience and I highly recommend this audiobook.
