Mina felt she was never loved by her family due to her dyslexia. All her mama wanted was for her to marry a "nice Greek boy". She wanted to achieve something for herself, but her family's reaction is "Stop wasting time!" She was about to complete her hair salon, but to finish it, Mina had to go to the one guy she shouldn't want... Her best friend's older brother, one of the bachelor contestants on the bachelorette show... And owner of his own construction/restoration company. Nick, who happens to be Greek too. Mina had a thing for Nick for a long time, but it's just to admire from afar. But when the fans of the TV show gets a bit crazy, Nick decided to ask Mina for a favor... be his fake girlfriend to fend off the rabid fans. But fake things tend to turn real...
It started out as "unrequited love on bestie's brother", but it became a lot more... Greek culture and stereotypes, dyslexia, "dating camp", reality show, fake vs real, fake girlfriend... there are a LOT of issues and layers to track, yet everything makes sense.

GRR Reviews Say You'll Be Mine by Maria Luis
Shaelyn left New Orleans after getting her heart stomped on, and only her grandma's declining health brought her back to town... She wanted to avoid Brady, the guy who broke her heart, but when a family member requested help, she had nowhere to turn except to Brady... // Brady wanted to the next promotion to be Sergeant in NOPD, but Shaelyn's return is about to wreck his plans. Brady can never resist Shae, esp. not when she asked so nicely. But when her request ended up affecting his case, he may have to choose between his career... and his heart.
Eh... the darkest hour was kinda lame, IMHO. Basically, the family member requesting help was a kid who never knew his father, and Shaelyn's an aunt of his. His father turned out to be a suspected murderer and Brady, being a homicide detective investigating the same case, can't say anything. The two didn't really tie together, and obviously, Shae ended up liking Brady despite the "betrayal".
