Author's Summary: AU. Jensen needs to get married in order to get his grandfather’s inheritance and open his own law firm. Jared would do anything to help his best friend. The plan is simple- pretend to date, get married, get the inheritance, get divorced. But things grow complicated when one of them starts falling for his fake boyfriend. Can they find their happily-ever-after from all the lies they’ve built around them?
Review:
I’ve always enjoyed stories where “best-friends” fall in love, because as cliché as that sounds, sharing common interests and being able to get along is the basis for a satisfying long-term relationship. And if there’s great sex on the side, well, that’s just a bonus. The love Jared and Jensen have for each other is painfully transparent to the reader, but our boys are a little dense and it takes them a while to figure out the kind of love. Parts of the story were too saccharine for my taste, although my soft spot for cute and domestic Jared-Jensen made me happy to overlook that.
Leave My Heart out of This turns a common romantic-comedy premise into an unusually satisfying story that is bound to warm your heart.
