"You want to fake date me so you will have a date to your sister's wedding?" After a series of failed relationships, fifth-year college Senior Aiden Hastings has sworn off dating. He's more than ready to finish college and try again after graduation. What he doesn't expect was to meet Emily Bates during one of his summer classes. When Aiden sits next to her during class, Emily recognizes him from several classes they shared, even though they sat on opposite sides of the room. What she didn't expect was to quickly form a close friendship with him. With her focus mostly being on her school work, Emily never took the time to form many friendships or date; that was something that could wait until after her graduation. However, Aiden's presence in her life is causing her to question her previous decisions. When one of Aiden's ex-girlfriends is asked to be a bridesmaid at his sister's wedding, Aiden asks Emily if she would 1.) be his date to the wedding and 2.) pretend to date him to 'make it look real.' As they grow closer, the lines between pretending grow hazy, and Aiden and Emily have to decide whether to risk their friendship or their hearts. The Issue with Dating Aiden is the fourth book in the Hastings Siblings Series, but it can be read alone. It is recommended, but not required, to read The Consequences of Being Aiden first.
