About this book
What do you get when you serve a heap of exile with a dash of fake mating? A recipe for disaster.
Banishment for accidentally making someone into a hot bowl of soup with my uncontrolled food magic wasn’t on my to-do list. Luckily, my best friend has a plan for my return so unhinged it might just work. Join his wolf pack so his mom will teach me her mystical cooking wiles to prove I have my magic under control. The catch - I have to pretend to be his mate. No biggie, I’m just a work-obsessed human saddling a sunshine wolf shifter with my problems, including the illness I’ve told absolutely no one about. This should work out fine.
Because we agreed. We’re just friends… who have to share a bed after a fermenting mishap. And whose fake kisses grow a bit too heated. As we deal with whomever is stealing women in his small town. And avoid catching feelings. All while I master my food magic.
Those treacherous feels whisper he might be the person I tell my well guarded secret to, but he seems to be keeping an explosive one of his own. I need out of this mess because this is definitely NOT real and I have a life to get back to.
Right?
This is the third in an MF romantasy romcom interconnected standalone series in which a wolf shifter Alpha collides with an irrepressible kitchen witch who prefers food over love. Perfect for fans of friends to lovers romance and kicking your feet comedy--and anyone who wishes Assistant to the Villian had had a few more “kisses”.

Faking Your Mate and Other Recipes for Disaster was amazing. As someone who married her best friend and has dealt with continuous pain, this book really connected to me. I have loved this whole series and am said this is the last one, but it was an amazing ending to the trilogy too. Fallon (or Honey as Declan calls her) is our FMC. She is overworked (her own doing) and doesn't know how to ask for help. Declan is her best friend (and her fated mate, but she doesn't know that) and he takes her...

Faking Your Mate and Other Recipes for Disaster by Emma Eden is the third and final book in a series of interconnected books that can be read as standalone. I read the first two books in this series and loved them, but I LOOOOOOOVED this one. Declan is the sweetest cinnamon roll wolf shifter you’ll ever meet and Fallon is a too stubborn for her own good strong independent woman trying to navigate her magic and life with a chronic illness. As someone who has a chronic illness, I felt very seen....
