A wonderfully uplifting read… A lot of sparkle and mischief… The characters are fabulous… A very relaxing read!

How far would you go to impress your boss—would you fake a fiancée?"
Adrian, handsome but workaholic investment banker, finds himself trapped in a web of his own making when he claims to be engaged to impress his boss. Enter Rowena, a brilliant software engineer whose life is unraveling—she’s jobless, newly pregnant, and feeling cornered. Their chance meeting leads to an unconventional arrangement: a fake engagement that solves both their problems.
What starts as a business-like partnership soon evolves into something deeper, as Adrian and Rowena navigate their personal struggles and discover that sometimes love blooms in the most unlikely of places. With laugh-out-loud banter, heartwarming moments, and just the right amount of chaos, this delightful story explores the magic of finding love when you least expect it.
If Adrian and Rowena were Olympic athletes, they'd definitely take home the gold medal for witty banter and slow-burn chemistry! Their dynamic had me hooked from page one, with every hilarious mishap and perfectly timed comeback making me grin like a lovesick fool. Adrian's charm and Rowena's strength as a single mom create a perfect balance of swoon-worthy moments and heartfelt connection.
This story is more than just laughs (although there are plenty!). It dives into the emotional roller coaster of love, trust, and what it means to take a leap of faith. I laughed out loud at their antics, felt a tug at my heartstrings during those tender moments, and, yes, may have shed a happy tear or two when my heart was just too full to handle it all.
Honestly, "If the Ring Fits" is pure rom-com perfection. It’s like the literary equivalent of your favorite romantic comedy movie—light, fun, and oh-so-satisfying. I can't recommend it enough for anyone who loves slow-burn romance, hilarious misunderstandings, and characters who feel like your best friends by the end of the book! It's a must-read for anyone seeking a feel-good romance with depth and humor. Thanks to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for this advanced copy.

I love anything that Camilla Isley writes and this book was no exception. It was the perfect start to the new year!

Adrian and Rowena have a very unusual meeting, but find that they are both in a position to help each other out. Adrian needs a pregnant fiancee and Rowena needs a place to live and time to figure out what she is going to do now that she has lost her job. They make an arrangement and you can probably figure out what that is.

I adore Adrian and how he treats Rowena from the start. He is the total fictional package. This book has banter, swoony moments, and a sassy robot.

Thanks to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for this advanced copy!

This book was great! The story was well written and the main characters had some great character development throughout the story and the romance was so cute and tension filled!

Another fun read from Camilla Isley that was just fun and cute.

From their first meeting to their situations, everything was so perfect and sweet I didn't want to put it down. Highly recommend for a fun January read

4.5 ⭐️

I really enjoyed this book. The meet-cute was perfect for this couple. Adrian and Rowena were a great match of personalities, strengths, and companionship. I think Camilla did a wonderful job with character growth and how these two complement each other.

Rowena ended an unhealthy relationship that left a lot of insecurities. Adrian has his own past that both motivate him and keep his walls up when it comes to a potential relationship. Adrian and Rowena continue to surprise each other as they tackle situations together. They build each other up while tackling their own insecurities. I loved Adrian’s reasons for delaying the inevitable, even if I was as ready as Rowena for him to give in!

Camilla brings forth some heavy topics but does it perfectly. There are plenty of laughs, sexual tension, friendship, and support to make this book a great choice.

Thank you to NetGalley & Bollywood Books for providing me with this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I'm confused as to like or hate this book.

Adrian needs a pregnant fiancee, and Rowena needs a... lifeline to keep her staying in New York for the foreseeable future. And she's pregnant.
I think this book convinced me that they're meant for each other.
Things that I like:
- Rowena and Adrian. I dunno I just like them haha.
- Rowena's support system, ofc! Nina, Hunter, Tristan and Dylan are in this.
- The set-up, characters, and tropes actually remind me of similar billionnaire romance BUT this book managed to bring playful and fun notes. And I'm all for a real cozy and not-gloomy feeling throughout the book.

Things that I find pretty disturbing:
- Rowena's wishy-washy attitude
- I can't relate to being pregnant and sipping (albeit virgin) mimosa and coffee / caffeinated drink in any form
- I just wish the postpartum part were discussed more in this book (cuz I'm a mom and for this part I could resonate with Rowena)

Overall, 3 stars for me! I love Camilla's but I think this book is a bit heavy.

Three cheers for Camilla Isley, who can write a billionaire romance without making him sound like a complete jerk, and a pregnancy romance that isn't gross! I actually loved the meet cute, it was hilarious and unexpected. The romance felt genuine and the spice was...nicely spicy. Can't wait for her next book (no pressure!).

Camilla Isley has yet to disappoint me, her ROMCOMS always leave me feeling warm and fluffy. She's become one of those authors for me that I just know that no matter which book of hers I pick up- I'm going to love it.
If the Ring Fits follows Adrian and Rowena who both after a horrific day that ends with them puking in the washroom and commiserating together- decide to get fake but real married. In this arrangement Rowena gets the stability she so desperately needs for her and her unborn child and Adrian can prove to his boss man that he is family man and a work superstar.
The chemistry between these two was delicious and I loved that Rowena was the one who was actively pursuing Adrian a bit more (get yours girl)!
Also as a consistent reader of Camilla now it was adorable and amazing to see other character cameos (such as from The Love Algorithm) I also love an interconnected standalone so naturally I am very excited for Hunters book!
Camilla Isley's books are everything I want to see from a romance novel and more, so if you haven't tried any of her novels I would highly recommend.

Wow, I was not expecting to be as taken away with this book as I was.
Immediately I connected to the characters and fell in love with them! Rowena and Adrian are quite possibly my favourite book couple of 2024!
The way the story travelled in dual POV was fantastic. The only criticism I have was that the last 10 to 15 chapters felt a little rushed but that could be because the first half was spent building the backstory.
I'm now going to go back and start reading some of the author's back catalogue!

This was a fantastic book! I previously read Nina and Tristan’s story in “This is Not a Holiday Romance”, and this was a great related story based on one of Nina’s roommates and good friends (although it could also be read as a stand-alone).

The characters in this book were well developed, they had a great sense of humor, and the story was believable and smooth - it was hard to put down! I’m not usually a fan of already pregnant/new love stories, but this one had a good balance. There were some difficult issues the main characters had in their past, which they had to deal with, but it was done well.

Overall, I would highly recommend this book and any others in the Funny Feelings series, or by this author in general! Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC and the chance to read and review this book.

I very much enjoyed reading this book! The meeting between the main characters was a little too coincidental, but it’s fiction so you gotta just go with it. I liked the dual perspective and how the relationship deepened as they spent time together. I would have liked to read more about the time right after the baby was born, but instead it jumped ahead three months. Throw in a mis-communication, a resolution, and then you’re at the happy ending.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for the opportunity to read and review this book prior to publication.

This is a delightful romantic comedy by Camilla Isley that keeps the reader engaged and wanting more! I’ve never read anything by this author and believe me, I’m going to now! Such a cute story and a roller coaster of emotions!

What a wonderful way to start the new year! I couldn't put this book down and ended up reading it in one sitting.

The story just lured me in; Rowena and Adrian's first "blind" meeting, their flourishing relationship, their brutal honesty about their attraction towards each other and how Adrian supported Rowena pursue new career goals. Kudos to Camilla Isley for also writing about postpartum depression.

If the Ring Fits is the second book in the Funny Feelings series. It has snippets of the characters from the previous book, This is Not a Holiday Romance - but can be easily read as a standalone.

3.7 Stars
One Liner: Cute!

Investment banker Adrian is a high-profile CIO with a successful career and no personal life. He is confident in his abilities but finds out he needs to impress his CEO and comes up with a non-existent fiancée. Where can he find one now?
Rowena is a software engineer who finds out she is pregnant with her douchebag ex’s child and loses her job on the same day. When her path crosses with Adrain, he offers an agreement that could help her find her feet.
Will the fake engagement and marriage lead to true love?
The story comes in Rowena and Adrain’s first-person POVs.

My Thoughts:
The book is standalone. I didn’t read the previous book in the series but it didn’t affect my enjoyment.
The beginning is quite a hook. The first chapter starts at ‘present’ of sorts and has high tension ending with a cliffhanger. Then, we get the flashback from both POVs.
The book combines quite a few tropes – fake dating/ marriage, age gap (11 years), one bed, surprise pregnancy, women in STEM, etc. I like that the age gap is not emphasized much after the initial mention. It doesn’t as such have a vital role but kinda makes the MMC appear mature.
Though the FMC is in STEM, it plays a relatively moderate role in the plot. This one focuses on their fake relationship and her pregnancy most of the time.
The FMC is cute enough, though I’m not sure the nickname suits her. She doesn’t really come across as Sunshine. Makes sense considering she has enough concerns about her future. She is quirky but even that doesn’t exactly hit right. We are told her ex didn’t like her humor but it wasn’t that weird, IMO. However, I chuckled a few times so the banter was fun to read.
The side characters are interesting (one couple is from the previous book). Another couple from a different book (I read that one!) also made a guest appearance. It was a nice surprise. Of course, the ex was a huge jerk (pretty stereotypical and has a teeny part).
Despite the sexual tension, the book ended up being closed door. Strange! Those who want to read the ‘action’ can subscribe to her newsletter.
The pacing is decent, moderate to fast, and keeps the story moving. Despite being the archetype, the MMC displays good growth. I like that it is steady and aligns with who he appears to be. No immature drama either (from his side).

To summarize, If the Ring Fits is an entertaining and cute romance if you enjoy the said tropes. It has a few issues but is a satisfactory read overall.
Thank you, NetGalley and Boldwood Books, for eARC. This review is voluntary and contains my honest opinion about the book.

A super hot investment banker & a recently fired software engineer meet throwing up in a bathroom and make an agreement that solves both of the problems that ended them there in the first place, by getting fake married… obviously it’s not as cut and dry as they would like because they’re both sexy competent adults who turn out to be perfect for one another. What follows was entertaining, engaging, but not overly memorable. I feel like I never got a good sense of the characters, I knew their motivations and understood them but I didn’t feel it you know??

Camilla Isley is slick for this one, sneaking in one of my favourite tropes of all time without me knowing beforehand. I was gonna read it anyways but then it was an accidental pregnancy & a marriage of convenience? Yeah I’m obviously down.

All that being said, If the Ring Fits was a fun, fast paced read perfect for anyone who’s looking for a cute romcom that involves a FMC whose weakness is hot and competent men (amen), and adults who text awkwardly.

Thank you to NetGalley & Bollywood Books for providing me with this ARC in exchange for my honest thoughts!

Had this as an ARC read as I liked the premise of the story and I was also drawn to the front cover.

When I first started this book I initially I didn't feel I was going to enjoy it, particularly with how the story first starts, but as I settled into it more and more, I realised I was going to be proved so wrong.

This story was heart-warming, caring and I so fell in love with the main characters Rowena and Adrian.

Both characters had their struggles at the beginning of the story and from their first meeting, it was obvious that they would look out for each other, particularly Adrian and the way he cared and catered to any of Rowena needs throughout was delightful.

I have never read any of Camilla's books before, but I will definitely be looking out for more in the future particularly 'It is not a Holiday Romance', the first in the Funny Feelings Series, which I have net yet read, but I will definitely be making sure I add this to my reading list in the new year.

This book had a great plot with intriguing characters. I’ll definitely be looking out for more from this author.

What a great book! I really enjoyed reading it. The slow burn was perfection and the chemistry was perfection. I loved the development of Rowena and Adrian's romance, how Adrian became protective over Rowena.

I also really enjoyed the character development of Rowena and what she went through and overcame.

I really enjoyed this as a romantic comedy element, it had that feel that I was looking for and was hooked from the first page. The characters were everything that I wanted and enjoyed the overall concept. Camilla Isley has a strong writing style and was engaged with the concept. I enjoyed the way this was written and used the marriage element that I wanted.
