Love Practice by A.F. Zoelle
A Good Bad Idea Story, Book 7
Wren Ferres
Does anyone know how to make Prince Charming fall in love with you? I’m asking for a friend.
…yeah, that friend is me. I’m secretly a little in love with my best friend and roommate. Okay, I’m a lot in love with him. Like, truly, madly, deeply in love with him. But it’s not my fault! He’s hot, French, and laughs at all my stupid jokes. He’s the prince of my dreams, minus the part where he isn’t actual royalty and not in love with me. Determined to change that, I come up with a brilliant plan to challenge Monsieur Know-it-all to be my dating tutor. I’m hoping that’ll tempt him into acting on our flirtatious banter.
If it doesn’t, maybe I’ll push my luck by suggesting some kissing practice?
Isidore “Izzy” Devereaux
Wren is flirty, quirky, très cute—and completely oblivious about how much I love him. His wild ideas usually make me laugh, but his request to go on practice dates to give him pointers? Yeah, that pushes all my buttons. Agreeing to his outlandish request means risking him discovering my secret. But, it also presents a tempting opportunity. This is my one chance to make him see me as more than just his best friend. It could be my only shot at making him my boyfriend for real.
I may not be a real prince like he teases me about, but can’t we still have a happily ever after?
Love Practice is the seventh and final book in the Good Bad Idea series. This novel features a friends to lovers, roommates, fake dating romance. Full of cute sweetness and sexy fun, every story ends with a satisfying HEA and no cliffhangers. Each book can be read as a standalone or as part of the series in order.

Cover Reveal Excerpt:
Chapter 1: Wren Ferres
Crossing my arms with a pout, I threw myself back against the couch. “Can I ask a dumb question?”
“Better than anyone I know.”
I ignored the dig, heaving a defeated sigh. “What’s wrong with me?”
Izzy didn’t hesitate to answer. “You’re a chronic procrastinator thanks to your perfectionism. That in turn feeds off your lack of self-confidence. Plus, you have a deep need to please everyone so they’ll like you.”
“Wow, I’m so glad to see your Psych 101 class really paid off. Looks like that four-hundred-dollar textbook was worth it after all.” I threw a pillow at him for good measure.
“Hey, I’m not wrong,” he said with a laugh, blocking it from hitting him in his perfect face. Jerk.
“No, you’re not.” I scowled in irritation. “Fine, why can’t I make it to a second date?”
“Maybe if you were more selective about who you went out with instead of accepting everyone you match with on a dating app, you would have better results.”
I considered what he suggested. “You’re saying my issue is that I should stop going for quantity and start aiming for quality?”
“Oui.”
It was a fair point. “That isn’t my only problem, though.”
“True. I believe you are what North calls ‘too thirsty’ to find a boyfriend,” Izzy said.
“Well, excuse me for wanting to be with someone who wants to fuck me into oblivion all the time.”
He gave me a patronizing look. “Oh, poor bébé.”
“If you’d just give in to the sexual tension between us, we’d both be much happier.” I was only half-joking. We built our whole friendship on me flirting with Izzy and him shooting me down.
“While you think that’s the answer to everything, it won’t fix your problems, mon ami.”
“Come on, you’d love to shut me up by making me suck your dick.”
He smirked at me. “We both know that wouldn’t make you silent.”
“It’s worth a shot.” I gave him my best puppy dog eyes. “May I pretty please blow you instead of jerking off all by my lonesome tonight?”

Even though we just met, it would be stupid to run away from love when all signs point to him being the one, right?
