4 stars! 
 Full Review for 1001 Dark Nights: Bundle Nine at Of Pens and Pages. 
 I had a hoot reading this one! Plus points for the little fake relationship aspect and the tireless friends-to-lovers trope! After getting his heart broken by his ex, Sebastian "Bash" Prince founded Magnificent Bastard Consulting where he helps women scorned stick it to the men who dumped them. He has help in the form of his virtual assistant, Penelope "Penny" Picket, and although they've never met, they've become close friends through their digital correspondence. But when Penny makes a surprise appearance, Bash finds out how sexy his assistant, his friend, actually looks. Now Penny's the one in need of his services when she was forced to become the maid-of-honor of her ex who left her for her very own mother. 
 I love Bash! He's so charming and funny, and it was fun to read most of the novella in his perspective. I love their relationship and found their banter hilarious, and sexual tension steamy. And two words: Dirty. Talk. It was hot and not too wordy; just right to make me fan myself and hope to be the receiving end of Bash's naughty words. 
 If you're looking for a fast-paced, steamy, and funny read with a charming hero and heroine. This was my first Lili Valente read, but I'll be sure to read her other works soon!
