Publisher Description
In this charming rom-com filled with Chinese traditions and a family curse, an herbalist fake dates a star musician–perfect for fans of Helen Hoang and Jasmine Guillory.
Chinese herbalist Chryssy Hua Williams never actually believed in the Hua family curse. But after Break-Up #9, Chryssy stopped laughing. Now she and her aunties run a special healing retreat center for the broken-hearted. After all, there’s nothing a proper cup of herbal tea can’t fix...but Chryssy’s innocent run-in with celebrity cellist and bad boy Vin Chao has everyone brewing about a different kind of tea. So he offers her a deal: they’ll fake-date, he’ll “break” her heart (and increase ticket sales), and in return, he’ll promote her business.
It’s like Chryssy’s whole cursed love life has been leading up to this moment. But all it takes is one kiss—and a whole lot of unexpected chemistry—to land both of them in hot water . . .
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Fake dating blossoms into true love in this cozy and uplifting contemporary from Kung Jessen (Red String Theory). Chrysanthemum "Chryssy" Hua Williams is haunted by her family curse, which has doomed all Hua women to never find lasting love. After several painful breakups, she's resigned herself to a loveless existence, instead throwing herself into her work as a Traditional Chinese Medicine chef and acupuncturist who specializes in healing heartbreaks. Everything changes when Chryssy meets Vin Chao, one of the two brothers who make up the renowned cellist duo the Chao Brothers, also known as the Heartbreakers due to their reputations as serial daters. Chryssy and Vin soon realize they could help each other: Chryssy needs a brand ambassador for her new product line, and Vin could use a new relationship to distract the media while his brother recovers from his own recent heartbreak. They agree to pretend-date and then break up at the end of June, but despite their best efforts, the line between what's real and what's pretend blurs and feelings creep in. The narrative alternates between the leads' perspectives, but unfortunately Chryssy's and Vin's voices are often indiscernible from each other. Still, this is a minor flaw in an otherwise endearing love story. Anyone looking for a feel-good take on the fake relationship trope will be charmed.
