My Rating: 3/5 stars

Jake Donovan has given everything to his baby, the Holy Grale brewpub! His time, energy, money, and effort have all gone into his work leaving no time for relationships. For Jake, the sacrifice has been absolutely worth it when he sees the faces of happy customers and a bottom line that doesn’t suck. What’s more, after a disastrous long-term relationship that ended in anger, hurt feelings, and a broken engagement, Jake isn’t sure he has it in him to be a good partner to anyone.

Since the day the Holy Grale opened, Jake’s world has been the front end, serving customers, filling orders, getting to know his regulars, and generally building the business. Among his favorite customers is Clementine Cox, a nerdy, low maintenance customer who always sits in the same spot, always orders the same beer, and always has her nose buried in a book. Though she isn’t the most talkative of customers, she and Jake have had a conversation or two, enough for Jake to know she’s intelligent, kind, and someone he may want to know a bit better. You know, if he were the dating kind.

Jake has no intention of acting on his inclinations toward Clementine until the day she announces her home has been burgled and she needs a fake boyfriend!

Clementine loves her time at the Holy Grale. The beer is excellent, the atmosphere is just right for working, and the customers and staff are completely welcoming and friendly. The bartender, Jake Donovan is especially kind and absolutely steps up to the plate when her world comes crashing down. Between the burglary and her completely overbearing and overprotective family, Clementine needs a break. Intent on getting away from the madness and completing her current project, Clementine announces a week away at the lake. When her family insists on joining her, she further announces it’s meant to be a romantic getaway.

Now, all Clementine has to do is find a boyfriend . . . .

The week at the lake is unlike anything Jake or Clementine saw coming. Clementine’s family is completely crazy, Jake is taking his role as fake boyfriend seriously, and Clementine’s head is swimming and her hormones are raging. Though she is normally very quiet, Jake gets Clementine to open up and what he finds is a naughty, witty, utterly intelligent mind wrapped in a sexy package. Clementine finds Jake’s commitment to his role endearing and his ability to handle the madness of her family stupefying. No man has ever stepped up for Clementine like Jake has and within days the lines between friendship and lovers is blurred.

The Bottom Line: I’m just going to put it right out there: if it weren’t for Clementine’s family, this book would have easily been a 4½ to 5 star read for me! In many instances, I can overlook a single obnoxious character, but an entire family was more than I could take. EVERY member of Clementine’s family rubbed me the wrong way and made it hard for me to completely enjoy this book. With that out of the way, the moments between Clementine and Jake, both at the lake and at the Holy Grale were my favorite moments and I found it so easy to root for them as a couple. What I especially enjoyed were all of Clementine’s quirks and idiosyncrasies which Jake totally accepted and learned to work with because of his feelings for Clementine. Of the two, Jake showed the most growth as a human being and character and that growth was a completely natural and believable response to his time with Clementine. With the exception of Clementine’s family, I adored this book: Jake and Clementine, the sweet, sexy moments, the witty dialogue, and especially the unique setting of the Holy Grale. It’s on to book two, Make Me Fall for another round of good beer, good characters, and good story.

Real Kind of Love Books Brews Series Book 1 edition by Sara Rider Contemporary Romance eBooks Reviews

You know when you take a chance on an author you’ve never read before because the synopsis sounds good and then the book turns out to be fun and interesting? This is one of those occasions. I was a bit skeptical at the onset because the book takes a bit to get going, but once the story starts rolling, you begin to peel back the layers of Clementine and see the goodness in Jake. And boy are these characters worth getting to know. Clementine had me from the get go. Even though it took a bit for her to let others in, I felt a kinship to her quirky ways. A book narrator who prefers the company of her fictitious characters to real people, watching the greatness in her come out is quite entertaining…especially when you add in a man who becomes increasingly captivated by the woman’s hidden amazingness.

Jake didn’t start off as a character I really liked, but in the end, he proved his worth. He initially came across as too cold and cocky. But what’s that saying? The taller they stand, the harder they fall? But I think characters have to struggle to a certain degree in order to come out on the other side as a better version of themselves. But one of my favorites? Clem’s grandmother. I’d sit with that woman any day and share a glass of lemonade!

I’m sold on Rider; I’ll definitely want to read the other books in her series!!
I loved everything about this book. Sara Rider's characters have such great chemistry and banter. Highly recommend!
Well-paced romance with two likable characters who have 'faults' that are easily relatable. Fun secondary characters that showcased the hero / heroine's unique situation. Rider had me guessing as to how the conflict between the two would be settled, and when she did, it was done in a true-to-life manner. I read to escape but want a romance that is also believable.
4.5 stars rounded up. Fun and quirky. I loved the main characters and their interactions. Jake is an all-around good guy and Clem is very believable as an introvert. The family was a little too over-the-top in their meddling, which made it feel somewhat contrived, but everything else flowed great.
Light, sweet story about an introverted audiobook narrator (narrating a romance novel!) who ends up on vacation with a fake boyfriend and her extremely extroverted family. Nothing too complex, no bad guys, not much in the way of plot, but decent characters and funny scenes. The author managed to have fun in kind of an over-the-top way with the extroverted family without the main characters being 2-dimensional caricatures. They both have friends and families and careers, like normal humans. I believe this is what the magazine writers would call a beach read.
When you've got a loving but overly intrusive family who keep wanting to get involved in your love life, sometimes your only option is to introduce a fake boyfriend! The trouble is finding the man who will be willing to play the role for a week, in this case at a family camping event. For audiobook narrator Clem, she'd hoped to have some quiet R&R to work on her latest assignment, an erotic romance for which she's been stumped on how to properly voice the dominant male in the steamy sex scenes. Bar owner Jake is happy to help out Clem with her family (and provides some much needed inspiration for her work) and though they agree to no relationship or commitment while pretending to be together, it doesn't stop them from some steamy sex and the desire for more when the week is up. With interesting characters, a fun and lively family and a sexy romance, it's an entertaining and lighthearted read.
