Fay and Oliver are old friends, but haven’t really seen each other in awhile. She is a partner at a city planning firm, and he is looking for a job. They meet up during an open house and start to realize their friendship maybe more than professional or platonic. The problem is that Oliver didn’t tell Fay that he has applied to her firm months ago. So he is afraid that Fay will think he used her.⠀

This book was a short, but enjoyable read. I thought the characters living in a career I wasn’t familiar with was fascinating. I did lament when it ended just as I was really getting into the characters but I do see that it is part of a series and #OpenHouse and #HouseRules are both coming out next year!!⠀⠀
Small Summary:
Romance blossoms between two city planners posing as newlyweds in this first in a bright new series by acclaimed author Ruby Lang
The last thing Oliver Huang expects to see on the historic Mount Morris home tour is longtime acquaintance Fay Liu bustling up and kissing him hello. He’s happy to playact being a couple to save her from a pushy admirer. Fay’s beautiful, successful and smart, and if he’s being honest, Oliver has always had a bit of a thing for her.
Maybe more than a bit.
Geeking out over architectural details is Oliver and Fay’s shared love language, and soon they’re touring pricey real estate across Upper Manhattan as the terribly faux but terribly charming couple Darling and Olly.
For the first time since being laid off from the job he loved, Oliver has something to look forward to. And for the first time since her divorce, Fay’s having fun.
Somewhere between the light-filled living rooms and spacious closets they’ve explored, this faux relationship just may have sparked some very real feelings. For Oliver and Fay, home truly is where their hearts are.
