Story4 out of 5 stars 26
When Sam meets Leah in a bar one night, he's tongue-tied and leaves her with the mistaken impression that he's not interested because she's not thin enough. But when he finds himself helping Leah deliver a wedding cake to her ex-boyfriend's wedding, he comes to her rescue after a pushy woman insults Leah about her dating prospects and her weight - by proclaiming he's her fiancé. Leah is furious. Because that pushy woman is her mom, and now her family can't wait for the wedding.

But he never expected something as sweet as Anya Gage to wander into his bedroom during a party he did not expect to be having to borrow his phone. Knight tries to leave Anya to the life she deserves, with white picket fences and a man who watches football on Sundays - good, normal, and clean.

I have a history of picking the wrong guy. Gay? Player? Momma's boy? Check, check and check. Now I can't stop fantasizing about one of the customers at the coffee shop I work at between classes. It's just a harmless crush, right? It's not like I ever see this guy outside of the coffee shop. It's not like I'm going to see him while attempting to get birth control at the student clinic. While wearing a paper gown. While sitting on an exam table. Because he's the doctor. Shoot. Me.

Thirty days ago, my boss, Mr. Wolf of Wall Street, came to me with an offer I couldn't refuse: Sign my name on the dotted line and pretend to be his fiancée for one month. If I agreed, he would let me out of my employment contract with a "very generous" severance package. The rules were pretty simple: No intimate kissing, no actual sex. Just pretend to love each other for the press, even though I've secretly wanted to knock that sexy smirk off his face since the first day we met.

Your wedding day is supposed to be the happiest day of your life, right? That's what they say, at least. I went into that day hoping I'd get the happiest day of my life. What I got? The worst. I mean, you really can't get any worse of a day without someone actually dying. So...I may have gotten just a little drunk, and maybe just a tad impetuous...and landed myself in a dive bar somewhere in Alaska, alone, still in my wedding dress, half wasted and heartbroken.

It was just a typical Monday. Until the big boss asked me to make the pitch for a prospective new client. After two years on shaky ground at work because of my screw up, an opportunity to impress the senior partners was just what I needed. Or so I thought, until I walked into the conference room and collided with the man I was supposed to pitch to. My coffee spilled, my files tumbled to the ground, and I almost lost my balance. And that was the good part of my day. Because the gorgeous man who crouched down and looked at me like he wanted to eat me alive was none other than my ex.

The first time we met was at a party. Your ex arrived to show off the person he'd left you for last month, and you asked me to pretend to be your date. I was more than happy to help. You were attractive, smart and witty--and that kiss we shared? It left me wanting you for days. The second time we met was in my office on campus where we were both surprised to discover you were the new master’s degree student in poetry that I would be working with. You promised to be professional. I did no such thing. The late nights and intense study sessions spent alongside you majorly throw me off my game. I want you, and I fight with myself daily over this fact. I know I'm crass, that my sexual innuendos and dirty mouth annoy you, but I live for those two bright spots of color in your cheeks. If that's the only reaction I can get out of you, I'll gladly take it. You hate Mondays so every Monday I slip an anonymous poem into your bag and your smile gets me through the week. I think I'm falling for you, and I know it's wrong. I know that I'm only supposed to be the adviser to your program and nothing more, but here's the thing. I think you're falling for me too.

Publisher's Summary
It's rule-breaker Emily Foster's birthday, and like everyone at The Jungle Room, she just wants to get some action. Unfortunately she stumbles on the wrong kind, witnessing a mob hit. To protect her, she's entered into the Witness Protection Program with by-the-book Special Agent Jake Ward as her chaperone.
When the location of their safe house is compromised, Jake stashes Emily deep in the Texas backwoods. The city-girl might be safe from the Mafia, but she has to contend with a psychotic rooster, a narcoleptic dog, crazy cowboys, and the danger of losing her heart to the one man she can't have.
Jake's as hot as he is infuriating, and she can't help but push all his buttons to loosen him up. Their mutual, sizzling sexual attraction poses a dilemma: Jake's determined to keep her safe and out of the wrong hands; she's determined to get into the right ones - his.

Frustrating
There was a lot of funny dialogue but the heroine allowing the continued verbal abuse by hero without calling it out and blaming herself became frustrating. I enjoy good verbal barbs when they are clever and equal. But constantly calling someone stupid without remorse is abuse.

Fun book; but the heroine is an aquired taste.
I give the book a 4.5.. The narrator did a good job in my opinion. The book deals with losing and gaining family and love. The book was fun, with a lot of secondary characters that are interesting.
The heroine was a bit of a mess.
She was loving, insecure, fun and careless. Some times you would want to hug her and at other times you would want to throtel her. I would recommend if you are looking for a book if you are not looking for a perfect heroine. The heroine is loved in spite of her issues.

Female lead kind of a dimwit
Ugh I am having a hard time writing this. I want to say I liked it. The first half was better than the second half, which fell flat.
It didn't help that the heroine does some really stupid things. I dislike it when a heroine jumps to conclusions and acts upon them without thought. It's really not a good plot device.
Also, every single time I heard the hero's name spoken, my brain added "from State Farm"
The book had it's moments, the narration was decent. The side characters felt more fleshed out that Jake and Emily, which is odd since you are in Emily head the whole time.
The sex is a bit flowery and light on the sexiness. So if you are looking for some steam, there is not a lot to be found here.

So bad, I was embarrassed to be listening to it.
The lead female character was an amalgamation of every negative stereotype you have ever heard about women. She is whiny, stupid, fearful, incompetent, nagging, fearful of spiders, etc. (though sexy, so that must make up for everything else). I honestly started to feel bad for the male lead, who I knew was going to get stuck getting together with this woman, which I am 99% sure happened, but I couldn't actually finish the book (despite this being my only book while I was out of the country without internet access). That's right, I sat in silence, rather than go on reading it.
The writing was sophomoric too. I just couldn't endure one more cliche (awakening to birds chirping - kinds of cliches). I was hoping for a fun beach read, so my expectations weren't high. Is the romance genre really this bad? Maybe I should quit my day job and start writing. My apologies to the author. I don't want to sound like one of those internet trolls who bashes everyone. I just really wish we could raise the bar in romance novels. Does every male lead really need to be a firefighter/cop/private detective/prince? If anyone is considering buying this book, I recommend the Outlander series instead. Great romance. Great writing.
