Rex is the grumpy (but in fact super soft and lovable) romance hero of my dreams. She has also harbored a major crush on Rex since elementary school so her hesitance to agree to his fake marriage plan makes sense. Abby has sworn off dating after a particularly damaging relationship that left her in massive debt. This was one of the most realistic fake marriage romances I’ve ever read, with this trope usually being so over the top that it’s hard to suspend my belief enough to enjoy the story. Once I started reading about Abigail and Rex, I didn’t want to stop. I read a lot of and I’m a fast reader but it’s still rare for me to read a book in one day, let alone in one sitting, yet that’s what happened with this book. I think every fan of contemporary romances will find something to love about this book. This is the first book in Penny Reid’s brand-new series and while it has her trademark humor and charming characters, this feels like the beginning of something new and exciting for her “Pennyverse.” I’ve loved her other books and her writing has always been great, but I can see the growth of Reid’s writing in “Homecoming King” and I enjoyed every minute I spent in this new world.
