One accidental kiss wasn’t supposed to change so much.

Dean Myers never meant to blow up his entire world in one night. But when he crashes Raven’s art show and pretends to be her husband, all to avoid the advances of a new employee at his family’s mountain resort, he’s halfway there.

Then he accidentally kisses her—his good friend Raven.

And now he can’t think about anything else.

Raven Lake has always been Dean’s partner in crime at work, and she likes it that way. But what if she liked that kiss even more?

After their marriage lie spreads, pretending to be his wife out in public is hard enough. Moving into his cabin—being that close to him all the time—might ruin her completely.

But a phone call changes everything. When Raven gets the opportunity of a lifetime, she might have to choose between her childhood dream and the guy she suddenly can’t live without.

Falling Close is a closed-door sweet romantic comedy with plenty of chemistry but no explicit content. This friends to lovers story can be read as a standalone, or as part of the Ponderosa Falls Wilderness Resort series.

The perfect fake marriage romcom
5 Stars
The perfect fake marriage romcom
Raven and Dean. Dean and Raven. The perfect, hilarious co-working couple.This is my first Sydney Muse book and boy, oh, boy--it definitely won't be my last! I loved this friends-to-more RomCom. Muse has a way of framing imagery that captivates my mind, heart, and soul. The words punched straight to my funny bone and the quirky characters were divine.Raven is all dark roses, spikes, and spookiness, yet she's got a soft center and loves bats.Dean is a handsome, rugged, bear whispering, outdoorsy prankster with a sharp mind, quick wit, and a heart of gold. And his charm? Off the charts.I loved the pranks, the lie that landed them in an off-the-road cabin, a one sleeping bag situation, and the shadowy attraction that kept them going in their ruse. I loved how they weren't perfect, yet supported each other so well. I loved the glorious swoon, hilarious banter and flirtations, glass blowing, and grandma's ring. Grizz the cat is the perfect companion for this unlikely duo.I'll be back soon, Ponderosa Falls!Content: mild romance (kissing, swoon); mild moment of peril*I received a complimentary copy. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own and were voluntarily given.*

Absolutely adored this book! I’ve been waiting in anticipation for it and it did not disappoint. Raven and Dean had wonderful chemistry and banter previously in the series and it just got better in this book. While taking in Raven’s art show, uninvited, Dean pretended he and Raven were in a relationship to deter a former resort guest who was clearly interested in him. “‘I have made the turducken of errors, but I swear I’ll make it up to you.’” When it turned out that she was staying around longer than expected, the fake relationship snowballed and they doubled down. “‘And this is what he gets for telling lies. If my son wants to be married, let him be married. Actions have consequences.’” Their friendship both strained and strengthened as it faced what could be…and maybe what they had both been feeling but failing to recognize for a long time. There was so much fun in this book. The banter was so good. I already loved Raven and Dean from before, but it was great getting to know them even more. Dean was such a sweet, cinnamon roll, fun male main character, and Raven, well…“‘Yeah, but she’s the good kind of prickly - like a hedgehog.’ It was the perfect way to describe her. Cute and sweet and mildly dangerous all rolled into one…” I enjoyed seeing learning more about Raven’s art and both of their pasts, and their interests. There were some beautiful swoony moments, lots of protective, affectionate, and sweet feelings. It was also fun to see more of the characters from earlier in the series. I can’t say enough about how much I love this series and author. She is one of my absolute favourites now. This story introduced the first main character for a new series and I’m here for it. I highly recommend this book and series. While this book three (or four if you count the novella) in this series, it can be read as a standalone. However I would definitely suggest reading the whole series just for the enjoyment of it. This is a closed door story with some innuendo and no harsh language.

I love how clean this story was and no swear words! Dean and Raven have been the best of friends for five years, but when Dean shows up at Raven’s art show, suddenly everything changes. I feel like this was one of the better fake relationship stories, since they were honest with their family and friends. Yes, they do sleep in the same bed, but nothing happens.

Sydney Muse has done it again! Dean and Raven are absolutely adorable. I love their banter. It is also great to have female character with a hobby that very unique. I have gone to a glass blowing class and I am happy to see this art form get it day in the sun!
