Can You Recommend Romance Novels Funny With Fake Dating?

I absolutely adore romance novels with fake dating tropes—they’re my guilty pleasure! One of my all-time favorites is 'The Unhoneymooners' by Christina Lauren. The chemistry between the leads is electric, and the forced proximity plus fake relationship setup had me laughing out loud. Another gem is 'To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before' by Jenny Han. It’s sweet, hilarious, and the fake dating scenario feels so authentic. If you want something with a bit more spice, 'The Love Hypothesis' by Ali Hazelwood nails the fake dating trope with STEM academia as a backdrop. The banter is top-tier, and the slow burn is *chef’s kiss*. These books are perfect if you want heartwarming laughs and swoon-worthy moments.

Romance novels with fake dating and humor are my jam, and I’ve got a whole list to share. 'The Kiss Quotient' by Helen Hoang is a standout—it flips the fake dating trope by having the heroine hire a male escort to teach her about relationships. The dynamic is fresh, and the humor is woven into the characters’ quirks so naturally. Another must-read is 'Red, White & Royal Blue' by Casey McQuiston. The fake friendship-turned-real romance between a prince and the First Son is packed with wit and heart.

For a lighter, fluffier take, 'Fake It Till You Bake It' by Jamie Wesley is a delight. A reality show contestant and a grumpy baker pretend to date to save his business, and the result is pure chaos and charm. If you’re into historical settings, 'The Duchess Deal' by Tessa Dare is a hilarious Regency romp where a scarred duke proposes a fake marriage to a seamstress. The dialogue is sharp, and the fake relationship evolves in the most satisfying way.

Lastly, 'The Hating Game' by Sally Thorne isn’t strictly fake dating, but the enemies-to-lovers vibes and workplace rivalry give off similar energy. The tension and humor are off the charts.

Fake dating romances with a side of humor? Count me in! One book that had me grinning like an idiot is 'Boyfriend Material' by Alexis Hall. The fake relationship between a messy PR disaster and a straight-laced lawyer is comedy gold. The British humor is spot-on, and the emotional depth sneaks up on you. Another hilarious read is 'The Spanish Love Deception' by Elena Armas. The fake boyfriend trope is turned up to eleven with a grumpy-sunshine dynamic that’s utterly addictive.

For something quirky, 'The Charm Offensive' by Alison Cochrun is a sweet, funny take on a reality show contestant fake dating his producer. The mental health rep and LGBTQ+ themes add layers to the humor. If you prefer YA, 'Tweet Cute' by Emma Lord mixes fake dating with a Twitter war between rival sandwich shops—it’s adorable and laugh-out-loud funny. These books prove fake dating never gets old when done right.
