Influenced Love by Shellee Marie

We were honored that Shellee would ask us to Beta Read her book, Influenced Love, coming out on Kindle Unlimited on February 22, 2022.

Influenced Love is about Alivia, a beauty vlogger, who gets sucked into fake dating another influencer by her fans. Enter Moe Gava, a Jason Momoa look-alike. Even though he looks like Aquaman, his personality has room for improvement, and his sexy assistant with beautiful eyes, Travis, steals Alivia’s attention. And if you thought two handsome men weren’t enough, Alivia’s best friend Dan, a professional baseball player, is having a rough time with his new wife, who is jealous of Alivia.

Alivia has a lot to juggle and a lot of secrets to keep, will she do it without losing someone or losing face? Will her fake relationship implode her entire influencer lifestyle?

Influenced Love is a love triangle meets fake dating romance where social media celebrity messes everything up.

I really liked Alivia. She has great boundaries, knows herself, and is a generally happy person to be around- circumstances and influential people in her life make everything hard for her. She falls for Travis, who is easy, calm, and steady among the whirlwind of her life. He supports her and wants to be around her. I was excited for her to find some steady comfort. But then there’s Dan, with his rocky new marriage, Alivia’s will-they-won’t-they. I was constantly rooting for one love interest and then another. This back and forth mixed in with all the hoops Alivia has to jump through because of social media kept me reading and energized through the book. -Ford
