My Swoon for this week comes from:
The Fill-In Boyfriend

First - The Blurb:
When Gia Montgomery's boyfriend, Bradley, dumps her in the parking lot of her high school prom, she has to think fast. After all, she'd been telling her friends about him for months now. This was supposed to be the night she proved he existed. So when she sees a cute guy waiting to pick up his sister, she enlists his help. The task is simple: be her fill-in boyfriend—two hours, zero commitment, a few white lies. After that, she can win back the real Bradley.
The problem is that days after prom, it's not the real Bradley she's thinking about, but the stand-in. The one whose name she doesn't even know. But tracking him down doesn't mean they're done faking a relationship. Gia owes him a favor and his sister intends to see that he collects: his ex-girlfriend's graduation party—three hours, zero commitment, a few white lies.
Just when Gia begins to wonder if she could turn her fake boyfriend into a real one, Bradley comes waltzing back into her life, exposing her lie, and threatening to destroy her friendships and her new-found relationship.

Second - The Swoon:
This is probably more of a tease than a swoon but it made me laugh so I had to share it with you.
I can pay you."
He raised his eyebrows. "I'm sure there are services for that.Maybe you can try calling 1-800-HOOKERS or something?"
"You know the number well?”

Although neither character was overly appealing to me, I did enjoy the banter which occurred between Gia and Hayden. It was flirtatious and light hearted. Nothing overly heavy or emotionally draining. For me, The Fill-In Boyfriend is what I would call a cute read.
My rating: 4 out of 5
