About the book:
A sex columnist and a news reporter realize a fake relationship can help them both professionally and personally—but they aren’t prepared for the real feelings that start to develop beyond the headlines...
Lucy Reid is a sex columnist whose views on relationships aren’t exactly optimistic. She empowers readers to embrace their sexuality and challenge the idea that you need a partner to be happy—until her editor points out their audience is mostly coupled up . . . and maybe it’s time for something (or someone) new. To buy herself time, Lucy impulsively claims she’s started a new relationship she can write about. Enter Marshall Oakley.
Marshall is the new senior news writer at Lucy’s company. When they meet at a work event, he reveals his ex of nine years is getting married, and he needs a plus-one to keep his family off his back. They agree to fake date until the wedding—Lucy can write about finding “the one” before proving relationships don’t solve everything when they “break up”, and Marshall gets a no-strings date to convince his friends, family, and ex he’s moved on.
But as they spend more time together, the lines blur and each begins to reevaluate their views on love. As fear gives way to misunderstandings, can they find the courage to rewrite their story with a happily ever after?
“In Let’s Kiss and Tell, Joss Richard gathers all the best elements of a fake-dating romance—blurred lines, confusing chemistry, physical affection that feels like more—and infuses them with an extra jolt of intensity. Lucy and Marsh’s connection is intimate, tender, and impossibly hot. It’s all set against a delicious backdrop—the high-stakes world of journalism. This book sizzles!”—Carley Fortune, #1 New York Times bestselling author
“On its surface, Let’s Kiss and Tell is a witty, bantery, tension-filled fake-dating romance that had me simultaneously giggling and blushing. At its heart, it is a sex-positive exploration of love, growth, and empowerment. Joss Richard's sophomore novel is a stunner!”—Falon Ballard, USA Today bestselling author of Toe to Toe
“Let’s Kiss and Tell is a scorchingly hot and deeply intimate romance full of complex characters and chemistry that jump off the page. I read it in one sitting, desperate to know how it ended but so sad when it was over! Joss Richard has quickly solidified herself as one of my favorite romance novelists.”—Natalie Messier, author of Every Version of You
“Joss Richard has done it again! Scorchingly hot, but also perfectly tender, Let's Kiss and Tell offers so much dimension and depth. Lucy and Marshall are full, complicated characters, and I loved watching them work through their preconceived ideas about love and relationships. Joss Richard is a true force in romance, and I cannot wait to see what she does next!”—Naina Kumar, USA Today bestselling author of Just a Highland Fling
“As a former sex and relationships editor (with my very own drawer of gifted sex toys), I was pleased to read a book that celebrates a woman’s sexual autonomy, championing an FMC that’s both confident and vulnerable in and out of the bedroom. Joss Richard’s sophomore novel is a triumph and a fake-dating romp for the ages. This one’s for independent lover girls everywhere.”—Iman Hariri-Kia, author of Female Fantasy
“Joss Richard is an expert flirt. The banter in this book should win an award.”—Allison Raskin, author of Save the Date
