BOOKSPROUT/Review by Jul 26, 2025/Pretending with my Ex's Silver Fox Dad The Ashford Landing Collection by Kyra Lang

 Pretending with my Ex's Silver Fox Dad Novel 

Review on at least one : Amazon  

I thought dating Kyle was my worst mistake—

until I met his father.

James Weston is older, colder, maddeningly gorgeous… and now my fake fiancé, thanks to a mutually selfish deal.

He’s Manhattan’s saltiest food critic. I’m the small-town chef with something to prove.

We’re supposed to play nice, pose for pictures, and simmer down after one last publicity stunt.

Instead? We’re bickering over cumin, burning through bedsheets, and crossing every line we swore we wouldn’t.

He’s infuriating. He’s intoxicating.

And he sees me in a way no one ever has.

But while he’s busy falling for the fiction…

I’m hiding the one truth that could ruin everything: I’m pregnant with his baby.

And if I don’t come clean soon?

This fake fiancé thing might turn into real heartbreak—with a side of custody.

MY REVIEW- TITLED:  10+ Keeper Story 

Her ex, Kyle was an insensitive, jerk !  He's got a lot to learn. And it will surprise you with how many ways he learns better !!! There's one area that Kyle and James both have to grow in and it's a dozy. 

Sage is a hard working, fun girl that made me smile as did Vicky, Talia, Jules Aaron and Nicky. Nicky is the friend who owns a Indie bookstore and became an instant friend when Sage hit the area ! She began calling Sage, Spice Rack at their first meeting on Sage's moving in day.That cracked me up  It also cracked me up when Sage got  so angry after her first encounter with James. And it was mentioned that she stormed into the walk in for a good ten seconds of "profanity therapy". I got to keep that phrase, lol. All of her workers became friends who had her back and it took her awhile to realize that not only her closes friends had her back but the whole town too ! In the beginning, James took her for a hick country girl with no real talent. That he'd been sent on a wasted trip by his editor Patrick an overly cheerful, overachiever who .was clueless about boundaries, feelings and everything else. He was only concerned with the cheapest, fastest buck. No matter what !!! It was that guys idea to force them into a fake relationship, to pretend to be in love just for ratings ! And the articles in Palate/Vignette plays a big part in this story. James worked there but wasn't sure how much longer he could deal with Patrick and this magazine and Patrick's threats and bullying. . Patrick's also got a startling unwelcome surprise waiting for him too ! Well done, James, well done !

Olivia is his ride or die friend, who only wants to be that ! She was sure she couldn't handle a love relationship with unfeeling James.  He begins to face some painful truths and wants to change.

Hilarious ! And "Hormonal Humus" is just one of the hilarious names of food that was posted to the restaurant menu. Loved that !

I loved Sage and James together through the fights,  the times that Sage one upped James, the angst when they failed and those two pink lines showing up.

By the way, the humor was off-the charts excellent and I ADORED that !!! 

Did I like the ending? I LOVED it and the Epilogue was the best. This book is a keeper, for sure !!! 

 I read this book through Booksprout and this is how I feel about this book !
