Write Review

Rated 0

Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945), Adult & contemporary romance, Humour

A playful romantic comedy featuring dueling delis, fake dating, a shockingly awesome ex, and just the right amount of amnesia from the author of The Murder Weekend and Scenes of the Crime.

'Beautifully written, brilliant, and perfectly salty, Love You, Mean It is a total dream of a rom-com' LANA HARPER

'Delightfully tropey. . . Gagnon expertly combines humour and tenderness . . . This is a sweet confection' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
---------------
From duelling delis to fake dating . . .

Ellie Greco
loves her hometown and family-run deli, but she'd always thought she was meant for more exciting things than stocking the right tinned fish. Until a gourmet food department store moving in nearby threatens the very existence of Greco's Deli.

She pleads her case to Theo Taylor, scion of the property management firm that's about to put her out of business, but their meeting goes from bad (he's infuriating) to worse (no one expects the ceiling to fall on him).

With Theo out cold, Ellie panics, claims to be his fiancee . . . and almost passes out herself when amnesia means Theo actually believes her. The effects of the head injury soon wear off, yet Theo proposes that their "engagement" stick around. If they manage to convince enough people, they might succeed in ending the department store deal.

But when Theo's ex-fiancee reappears on the scene, Ellie is forced to decide between a blossoming friendship, her family legacy, and the burgeoning romance she frankly never asked for.
