I started to pull away from Nola, but she stopped me with a
hand on my waist. “Carol’s still watching.”

I didn’t bother pointing out her lie. No one stood in
Carol’s window, and Nola hadn’t bothered to look over her shoulder to
check.

I studied the face in front of me. Her fake smile had been

“How was the little wife’s day at work?”
Nola arched a smooth brow. “Little wife? Hmm, I think
you’re going to have to pick something different.”

“How about Mrs. HOA?”
She scrunched her face up as she thought about it. “No,
I don’t think so. I think I prefer ‘Your Highness.'”

She screeched when I ran my fingers up the side of her ribs.
She leapt back, smacking at my reaching hand, laughing loudly. “Stop
that!”

I made one more half-hearted grab for her. She glared at me.
“If you tickle me, I won’t share my pizza!”

I held both hands in the air in surrender. “When you

She narrowed her eyes at me as she opened the minivan door.
“I mean pepperoni and cheese.”

I shrugged. “Can’t blame a guy for trying.”
She passed the pizza to me, shut the car door, then smacked

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars
Smart, funny and quirky, Mr. H.O.A. is a fantastic fake marriage romance with interesting characters, witty dialog and a swoony hero. From start to finish, Bane and Nola had me hooked. They were playful and teasing as they fell in love while pretending to be married.
I pretty much read this lighthearted romantic comedy during a road trip, and it is definitely a binge-able book to take in poolside or on a rainy afternoon. It’s also a relatively clean read, if that’s your jam. There are some steamy kisses and touches, but this is a no-sex story.
Mr. H.O.A. is a sweet contemporary romance, with lots of crazy family drama and a couple you will fall in love with! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Carina Taylor writes zany romantic comedies that make you
ugly laugh.
ugly laugh.
When she’s not writing, you can find her chasing after three little boys,
ignoring her laundry pile, pretending to work out, drinking large amounts of
coffee, and consuming as many cinnamon rolls as possible.
