He’s my business partner, my good friend, and the man I’ve craved for years.

The catch?
We need to pretend we’re married to pull off this high-stakes deal.
So the clever, charming man with secrets a mile deep becomes my temporary husband, as we travel around Europe. Soon, we fall into bed, tangled together like newlyweds who can’t keep their hands off each other.

Because they change everything.

Excerpt:
“Are you a doctor?” she counters, but she lets me inspect her injury.
“I’m the doctor in the room,” I tease.
I ask where it hurts, and she points to her wrist, frowning. I run a thumb gently along that tender spot, that tantalizing place that can drive a woman wild.
If you touch her just right.
Which it seems I am doing, since Scarlett’s breath hitches.
“Daniel,” she whispers, her voice perhaps betraying her. “I’m fine. I swear I’m fine.”
I tuck my finger under her chin, lift it, and meet her gaze. “Are you sure?”
She nods, her eyes a little glossy. “I swear I am.”
“Let’s be certain.”
I lift her wrist to my face, my eyes on hers. Waiting for a sign. Waiting for more.
“Yes, please.”
So I bring her wrist to my lips and press a kiss to my business partner’s skin.
She lets out a low moan.
A groan works its way up my chest, and I swallow it down as I dust my lips over her pulse point.
I close my eyes, inhaling her, savoring the scent of her skin, of her lotion, of her Scarlett-ness.
I should move away. But she’s right here.
Images of last night’s fantasies flicker before me, along with the moment just now in front of the mirror, and how she looked at the reflection of her and me.
I open my eyes.
She nibbles on the corner of her lips, gazing down a me as I look up at her.
Is she thinking the same thing I am?
One kiss.
One taste.
That’s all.
I tamp down the groan in my throat as I breathe in.
Then, I take the next step.
I stand, gently take her uninjured hand, and carefully tug her up.
I reach toward her hair, tucking an errant strand behind her ear, testing to see if she’ll make that sound again.
That gasp. That hitch of her breath.
She does. It’s sensual and erotic, and it goes straight to my cock.
I do the one thing I’ve thought about doing for the last few years. The thing I’ve prided myself on resisting. I move closer, lean in, and press a kiss to her cheek.
It’s the same type of kiss I’ve given her every time we greet each other. But this time, I linger. I don’t back away. I simply brush my lips across her cheek and whisper, “All better now?”
Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars
I enjoyed this book, but I didn’t find it to be the laugh-out-loud romcom that I’ve come to expect from Lauren Blakeley. But Scarlett and Daniel’s fake marriage-turned-HEA was quite an adventure.
Scarlett and Daniel are business partners, and there’s been a simmering attraction to one another ever since they met. It’s not like they are hiding their mutual attraction, but since neither one wants a relationship, they figure it’s not worth risking their partnership for a casual fling. But that all changes when they are in France working on a business deal and pose as a married couple. They agree to pretend they are newlyweds for a week while scouting out hotel properties, give in to their sexual attraction, and then return home and go back to the way things have always been.
Except that’s not what happens. The more they get to know each other on a personal level, the more they find that there’s even more to like. Daniel has a lot of walls up around himself, and Scarlet is patient and understanding every step of the way. They’ve both experienced heartbreak, but are they willing to take the risk to be more than business partners with each other?
I really liked the openness and honesty between Daniel and Scarlett as they laid out their secrets and desires to one another. They connected on a deeper level than just giving in to the sexual tension between them, which I really liked. There is lots of dirty talk in this book — I kind of feel like that was more than usual from LB! And this book is set in France, giving it a beautiful backdrop and that vacation-fling vibe. But somewhere in the last 25% of the book, I felt like the initial sizzle between Daniel and Scarlett kind of petered out. I’m not sure why that happened, but I just felt like something had shifted and there was less focus on them as a couple at that point.
Overall, this book was a wildly sexy fake relationship story with a touch of instalove. I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
