Leo St. James now older and wiser but still handsome is trying to no longer live up to his college nickname "Pestilence" after an STI outbreak across campus (which he may or may not have had a part in... as there was a lot of partying and partner swapping going on at the time).
Amelia is a hard worker (freelance data analyst) and she has also worked hard to make sure that her sisters wedding goes off without any issues, while making sure everything is perfect she runs across Leo who is one of the groomsmen... she knows he has a reputation and she is not going to let him ruin her sisters day.
Leo is trying to move up the ladder at work and at the time it seemed better to just tell everyone at work that he was in a relationship in fact he has a fiancé (except he doesn't). Going with Amelia to pick up the cake for the wedding at a local bakery he unfortunately runs into his boss, who assumes that Amelia is his fiancé and then invites them both to a company retreat that Leo wanted to be invited to... now to convince Amelia to play along for the retreat.
Amelia agrees to go along with Leo to the company retreat and pretend to be his fiance but she wants something in return, her previous long term partner (ex now) left her with a lot of emotional damage due to constantly belittling her and she would like to be able to find someone who will treat her better, a true partner in order to do this she feels she needs lessons in seduction from someone who has a lot of experience (in comes Leo).
While at the retreat a mystery pops up when an expensive ring goes missing and someone at the retreat is the culprit... who else could have done it?
When his boss makes the announcement that he will find who has been lying to him and catch the thief Leo and Amelia begin to panic they don't even really know each other how are they going to keep pretending they are in love and on their way to getting married? Well it might not be so hard the longer they are in this situation together the more those fake feeling start to feel real.
*former playboy MMC *Fake fiancé/fake relationship *romantic comedy *pretty ridiculous at times
*mystery *fluffy read *one bed/room *drama *happy ending *read in order *some spice
have you read this series? have you read anything by this author before? what would you recommend?
Negatives for the book (I've compiled some of the things from peoples negative reviews as I thought the book was silly at times but I enjoyed this series):
- some people found the book over the top ridiculous/corny
- FMC grumpy and over the top irritated/angry with the MMC for no good reason
- FMC is too focused on lack of "bedroom" skills and self depreciating a lot throughout the book with no resolution as to how she started to feel better about herself/these issues
- MMC is also down on himself for different reasons, some readers found the self loathing parts of both characters a slog to read through
- repetitive inner monologues
- short amount of time for lead characters to fall for each other
