If the Ring Fits by Camilla Isley is a sweet, Cinderella-inspired rom-com with a modern twist. The premise is charming, the dialogue is snappy, and there's plenty of swoon-worthy moments for fans of fairy tale romances.

However, the story leans heavily on familiar tropes and doesn’t dive too deep into character development or emotional stakes. It’s entertaining and easy to read, but it doesn’t leave a lasting impression.

A solid pick if you’re in the mood for something cute and escapist, but not particularly memorable.

Fake dating, surprise pregnancy, forced proximity, and a cinnamon roll millionaire? Say less. 😍 I fell in love with Adrian and Rowena from their chaotic (and hilarious) bathroom meet-cute to their heartfelt HEA. This had all my favorite tropes—marriage of convenience, age gap, only one bed—and somehow still felt fresh and emotional. Rowena is such a strong FMC and I loved watching her rebuild her life. Closed-door but still tons of emotions, and honestly, I was swooning the whole time. Highly recommend if you love a feel-good romcom with heart!

I hadn’t read book one and so I’m excited to go back and read that as well as the next one in the series!!

I wanted to really like this series. I started the book after this right on its heels and planned to write a review for both but unfortunately I had to DNF the second. Both of those characters had their personality traits that could have carried a lot more of the story but it dragged. This is not the book though, and I should move on to this book’s review.

I think I would have appreciated this book even more if the starting chapter did not exist. Basically it’s a fake-wedding-for-work story. There are even old Indian movies with similar tropes! It is a good plot to watch unfold.

A techie feeling undervalued at work finds out she has a bigger problem than she could imagine. The other protagonist has just found out that his drive scares his boss into not wanting to give him a stronger role. The way the conversation picked up was entertaining. I find that the author does great conversation pieces. They can be funny at times but for the most part they are entertaining.

The relationship builds slowly and I felt the drag a little more in this than older works that I have read. Overall for people going in knowing the kind of story it could be, it will be time well spent. I tend to skim over the more graphic displays of affection.


I received an ARC thanks to Netgalley and the publishers but the review is entirely based on my own reading experience.

If the Ring Fits was such a comforting, tropey little treat. I went in expecting a fake-dating romance and got exactly that, with a grounded MMC who was surprisingly mature and emotionally consistent (a rare gem), and a STEM-loving FMC navigating some big life changes. I didn’t totally buy her as the classic “Sunshine” type, but I liked her all the same—her voice felt relatable, and the banter actually made me laugh a few times. The pacing was solid (didn’t drag, didn’t rush), and while the story kept things closed-door, the chemistry still worked.

Book 2 in the series and I am here for it! The first book was a fun rom com and while this one is fun, it is also more angsty which perfectly feeds the soul! A bit of fake date/engagement/marriage mixed with a dash of Cinderella. She's newly fired, single and pregnant, he's up for a massive promotion and needs to look settled in life. The meet cute is hilarious and the whole thing spins out of control from there! Of course, feelings happen and then the angst begins. I love the continuation of characters, the strong friendships among the women and the stand-by your women type of me in these stories. I absolutely can't wait to dig into the next book in the series! The author creates compelling characters, fun stories that deal with real life emotional issues and yet leaves you happily ever aftered in a manner that just makes you keep smiling for days!

I really enjoyed this second book in the series. Adrian & Rowena had serious chemistry. I really enjoyed getting both of their perspectives. Can’t wait to read the next book.

This book is pure rom-com sunshine with a delightful twist of chaos! It delivers everything I love in a feel-good romance: laugh-out-loud moments, sizzling chemistry, and two deeply relatable characters who stumble into love when their lives are falling apart.
Adrian, the charming yet flustered millionaire banker, and Rowena, the brilliant STEM heroine with a sharp mind and a tender heart, are an unexpected pairing that works so well. Their accidental engagement sparks one of the most entertaining fake-dating tropes I’ve ever read—complete with awkward one-bed scenarios, forbidden feelings, and all the glorious tension that comes from pretending to be in love while actually falling head over heels.
What makes this story truly special is how it balances humor with heart. Beneath the hijinks and witty banter lies a tender exploration of starting over, second chances, and finding someone who sees the real you—even when you're both a little bit of a mess.
This book had me smiling from page one and swooning by the end. It's a reminder that sometimes the best relationships come from the most unexpected beginnings.
I received a complimentary copy from NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving my review.

It's always a fun time when you are reading a new Camilla Isley novel and this was no exception.

I love the various ways this author can come up with totally plausible fake dating scenarios, but given how gross the initial meet cute as such was, I would strongly suggest not eating while reading the first few chapters of this book.

Once past that, Rowena and Adrian enter into an agreement for a fake marriage. Rowena has just been made redundant and discovered she is pregnant on the same day and has no desire to be anywhere near the father. Adrian discovers to be in line for his promotion despite his work being good that he needs to be more family oriented.

They come to a mutually beneficial arrangement, but as these complete strangers get to know each other, while trying to persuade everyone they are a legit couple, real emotions may appear.

Afterall the book opens with them heading in to get divorced with Rowena admitting something privately to us, that is rather interesting while the next chapters deal with how they got to that point.

With cameos of other Camilla Isley characters, this is a treat for the authors superfans.

And the story itself was amusing, and highly enjoyable. I had a great time reading this and wondering just how it would turn out.

I love fake dating stories and this one was definitely a winner for me.

Thank you to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

I love how easy Camilla’s books are to read, they have a really nice flow to them and this one was no different. I did like both the main characters but this isn’t a trope I enjoy personally, still a quick and easy read though!

I wanted to read this immediately after reading the first book in the Funny Feelings series(even though I am most excited for Hunter and Dylan).
Even though an arranged marriage is not one of my normal genres that I like, I wanted to continue with the friend groups series. I am glad I did. I liked it way more than I thought I would. I really loved how it turned out. 5 ⭐️

This was a fun and lighthearted read with a sprinkling of drama. The story was engaging from the start, with likeable characters and a plot that kept me turning the pages.

I especially enjoyed the chemistry between the main characters—it felt natural and sweet. There were plenty of cute and funny moments, and the pacing overall was great.

If you are a fan of the trope marriage of convenience then this book is for you.

I recieved an arc of this book in exchange for an honest review

This was such a terrific read. A really original 'meet puke' and two well-rounded characters. Some hilarious lines and terrific banter, and it had so much heart. And the chemistry was off the charts. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

If the Ring Fits is a charming romcom filled with fake engagement fun, chemistry, and heartfelt moments. Rowena, a down-on-her-luck software engineer, teams up with Adrian, a career-driven banker who needs a fiancée to impress his boss. What starts as a deal soon turns into something much more.

Camilla Isley delivers witty dialogue, lovable characters, and a sweet slow-burn romance. A perfect pick for fans of feel-good, trope-filled love stories.

Book 2 in the Funny Feelings series and it follows Rowena and her marriage of convenience to Adrian - who needs to find a pregnant fiancée to ensure he gets the CEO position at his company.

Lucky for both of them, they run into each other while throwing up in a bathroom of the building they work in. Rowena is suffering morning sickness and Adrian is upset he's lied to his boss - cue them meeting and agreeing to this scheme.

Initially Rowena's friends Nina and Hunter are against her plan. They would rather she stays in the apartment they share and they'll cover her financially but this isn't a long term solution so she feels like her best course of action is to go ahead with Adrian's plan. She moves in with him and it doesn't take long for them to fall into an easy friendship.

Friendship moves quickly to romance but Rowena is shot down twice when she propositions Adrian. He doesn't think he's capable of being in a relationship and he needs to prove to himself, and to her, that he can be there for her. That she won't come second to his job - like all his previous partner's have accused him of. But really, it takes the right person to make someone want to change and for Adrian, Rowena is it.

I liked the dual POV. I think all romance books should have a dual POV - I want to know what he thinks as well! But I do wish there had been no third act breakup. Rowena didn't even stop to listen to Adrian until the very last moment, as always, had they just had an adult conversation these things wouldn't happen!

Camilla Isley usually writes quite clean romances, but this one had a little spicy scene at the end from the first night Rowena and Adrian slept together and I loved it!.

I'm looking forward to Hunter's story in the next book.

Thanks to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for the opportunity to read and review this ARC.

Thank you, boldwood books, and the author for a free advanced reader copy of this book.

This book is trope salad. Accidental pregnancy, grumpy/sunshine, marriage of convience/fake relationship, one bed, billionaire romance, third act break up, single mom, you name it, it's in here. I found it enjoyable and cute, but a little cheesy. It was a fun, quick read.

“If The Ring Fits” is a laugh-out-loud, swoon-worthy slow-burn romance that delivers all the fake fiancée, one-bed, and "oops, we caught feelings" goodness you could want! Adrian and Rowena's chaotic "Meet-Puke" moment is the kind of unforgettable, messy magic that sets the tone for this witty and heartfelt love story. Their marriage of convenience starts as pure business, but between the sizzling tension, fairytale-worthy charm, and tender moments that sneak up on them (and us), it’s impossible not to root for them. The banter? On point. The romance? A+ slow-burn perfection. And while the spice is mostly closed-door, there's a bonus chapter for those who like a little extra heat. This book is pure fun, and I adored every second of it!

I can always count on Isley when I need a fun, light, cute, funny read and this was no exception. I thought the two main characters were cute together and I was rooting for them. I should add I love the fake romances trope so that helps! This isn't a book that you'll remember long after you read it but it's cute for when you need a mental vacation!

All my favourite tropes and written by Camilla means it’s a winner for me.It’s a fast paced story, drawing me in immediately.
Rowena has the worst morning ever, finding out she’s pregnant by her waste of space ex and then being let go from her job. Adrian a successful investment banker has invented a fake fiancée to impress his CEO, regretting this immediately.
Rowena doesn’t make it out of the building before morning sickness takes it toll, Adrian’s sushi doesn’t sit well and they both end up meeting each other in the restroom, at their lowest point. Adrian soothes a crying Rowena, an opportunity to solve both their problems presents itself. Rowena pretends to be his fake fiancée, Adrian will take care of her financially and ensure she sees the best neonatal doctors that money can buy. It’s only a year out of her life, all she has to do is play the part and not fall for him……we’ll see.
I love Camilla’s style of writing, she has me giggling and swooning at the same time. I love a good fake dating, mix that with a rich millionaire and unexpected pregnancy and I’m sold. The growth of both characters felt so natural, their chemistry was evident but what I loved most of all was the way they both cheerleader each other to follow their dreams no matter what it meant for their relationship.
Thank you NetGalley, Camilla Isley and Boldwood Books for this ARC, all opinions expressed are my own.

I just finished If the Ring Fits by Camilla Isley, and I am absolutely in love with this story! 💍✨ It’s the perfect mix of humor, heart, and just the right amount of swoon-worthy romance. The chemistry between the characters is electric, and their banter had me smiling nonstop. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough—there were twists, laughs, and plenty of moments that made my heart melt. If you’re looking for a fun, feel-good rom-com that will leave you grinning, this book is a must-read! Highly recommend! 💕📖 #IfTheRingFits #CamillaIsley #RomComReads #BookLover #MustRead

I enjoyed this. Fake marriage trope. A fun but kind of gross meet cute. A fairly light book with a nice, kind male main character. Some misunderstandings and a HEA. Overall I enjoyed it. It's the second book I've read by this author and I think I will read more - including the first in this series.
