I really enjoyed this funny, sweet, and perfectly steamy fake relationship romance, which featured likeable main characters and fantastic banter. I particularly appreciated that male lead Dallas Colter wasn't a stereotypical playboy jock. He didn't really party or hook up because he didn't want any distractions from his goal of playing in the NFL like his late father and older brother. His agent, Eli, wanted him to be more social, encouraging him to find a "responsible" girl to date so that teams and potential endorsers would see Dallas as well-rounded. The problem was that he couldn't think of anyone to ask until he met fellow college student Ryann Winters, the girl he'd just dumped on behalf of a teammate. She wasn't much of a partier either, but what really drew Dallas to Ryann was that she had zero interest in his popularity. In fact, she thought he was kind of a jerk, and the only reason she agreed to his fake dating plan was to teach him a lesson.

About "How To Lose at Love"
I needed a good girl to save my bad reputation.
With too much on my plate, the very last thing on my mind was a relationship—the football draft was looming and dating got in the way. I never understood why my teammates bothered with girlfriends. None of us had the time.
When my sports agent suggested that being seen in public with a respectable girl would be good for my bad reputation, I couldn’t think of a single person to help me out. The only girls I knew weren’t wifey material, and the ones who were? Might catch feelings.
Except Ryann Winters.
Responsible. Sarcastic. Smart. Ryann was perfect but there was one clincher: she was my teammate's ex-girlfriend and I had recently been paid by him to dump her.
Not the best start to a fake relationship…
