Alex Carrington is a workaholic he and his family are very wealthy (Billionaires) and he has been set in his ways for a long time. His family always has a trip the same time every year and it's coming up his grandma deciding it's time for him to settle down get married and have children (she's not getting any younger) has put her foot down if he doesn't pick someone to marry soon she is going to pick someone for him in the heat of the moment feeling flustered on this call he says that he already has a fiance... only of course he doesn't the first person he can think of is the woman he spends the most time with his assistant Anika who isn't a huge fan of his at the moment. His family is both pleased and shocked by the news and they want to meet her as soon as possible, in fact she needs to come on vacation with them.
Anika Patel is a hardworking woman with a heart of gold, while she didn't want to go into her family business she spread her wings moved across the country and landed on her feet working for Alex who is a bit grumpy and overbearing at times but she knows him well enough now to work with him and predict his needs before he asks like bringing his coffee in the morning the way he likes it even when he doesn't ask... that being said she is completely unprepared for him to ask her to be his fake fiance for the week of his families vacation her first thought is 100% NO, but in order to get her to agree to this plan he offers to pay off her medical bills which racked up the year before after she had to have a surgical procedure.
Anika knows immediately this will be a mistake but she goes anyways how is she going to keep her feelings for him fake he's so handsome and she has been drawn to him in the past how will she be able to separate those feelings? When they are so close together and enjoying their time on vacation lines get blurred and things begin to feel not so fake, could they actually make a real relationship work?
I really loved some of the side characters like Alex's grandma is adorable! his meddling family is a great bonus they are in love with love. Some not so likable characters make an appearance as well for a bit of drama.
If you are looking for a feel good book that won't take long to read give this one a try --> this book is a really cute quick read (it's a novella) the main story is happening over a week long vacation but nothing feels forced because the author does a really good job with pacing and showing that while the couple is currently in a "fake relationship" they are naturally drawn together as they have worked closely with each other for several years and have had an office "fling" in the past.
Have you read any other books by this author? which one would you recommend to read next?
