When Wade has an issue with a bold student who has a crush on him, he convinces Ari to pretend to be his girlfriend. Obviously, the arrangement benefits her too, since her overbearing mother will not stop trying to set her up. Before they know it, their arrangement becomes a bet and the competition is on!

I’ve been dying to know what was going on between Wade and Ari since I started reading the Falling for Autumn series, so I was excited to read Fall Fake-Out. I loved it! Wade and Ari really were perfect for each other. Their shenanigans had me laughing out loud. Two words: mustache comb! Oh my goodness, I was cracking up. I really enjoyed every moment these two spent together.

You know I’ve been loving this collection of stories. Autumn Ridge is full of cozy small-town vibes. I’m loving how all the books in the series are taking place at the same time in the same town, but we aren’t reliving the same moments over and over again. There is enough repetition for crossovers between characters, but it’s not redundant. I’m nowhere near bored. This is perfect!

Fall Fake-Out gets a 5/5 for fall vibes. There are football games, fall festival activities, homecoming, and a fall wedding being planned. I highly recommend this book as well as the rest of the series.
