Resumen del Editor

Hannah Donovan is not my type. Intellectual and career-focused, she’s a lawyer, and an intimidatingly beautiful one, at that. I’d rather pump iron than open a book, and the only reason I’d go to court would be for a traffic ticket.

She’s the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen. So how can I turn down her plea that I pretend to be her fiancé for one weekend?

But I never expected our pretend kisses to feel so real...or for it to lead to a wild night in bed that will forever stand out as the highlight of my sex life.

Our performance convinces everyone, but it was never meant to be more than a fantasy. A short-term gig before reality sets back in.

I can’t imagine ever being good enough for her, but I’m hooked. Now I’m determined to do whatever it takes to make this fake engagement real.

Each novel in the series is a stand-alone romance with a guaranteed HEA!

Something was missing

There wasn't anything particularly wrong with this story but there wasn't anything particularly engaging about it either. It was just ok. There wasn't really any depth to the characters or development of the core relationship.
