Afrodyt's review posted at Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews 
 Spencer Holiday has a BIG ego. I mean ginormous. To hear him tell it, he has a really good reason for that and personally, I love a cocky hero, but Spencer is something else entirely! He has a great sense of humor, he's smart and successful and comes from a strong family. He is an unapologetic bachelor bad boy that knows how to get what he wants. Because he's trying to help out his father, he gets himself in a jam only his longtime friend and business partner, Charlotte, can get him out of. 
 Now Charlotte is the perfect business partner for Spencer. She's brilliant, quick witted, and unafraid of busting his chops. I fell in love with her right away. Charlotte's my kind of gal because she just took care of business time and time again and also went after what she wanted with reckless abandon and no apologies. I can't tell you how refreshing that is! When it came to Spencer she was always honest with him and that's one of the many reasons I fell in love with this story. 
 This tale isn't all that original, but let me tell you something, Lauren Blakely hit it out of the park!! This book was outside of my personal preferences for a couple of reasons: 1) It was a very familiar premise, and I have a "fake engagement turned into real love" story on my all time favorites list that is pretty tough to dethrone and 2) Not only is this a single POV but it is wholly from the male perspective. That actually ended up making this story extra great. Being in Spencer's head the entire story as he navigates all the lies he's telling and the very real feelings that are growing for Charlotte was incredibly satisfying. The most beautiful thing about Spencer is that his friendship with Charlotte was more important to him than anything else. He was willing to deny himself all of his desires to make sure they maintained their primary relationship and that was not only admirable, but endeared him to me even more. 
 When it came to the sex, because it was all from Spencer's POV, it was like he was talking dirty in the best possible ways the entire book. His internal dialog is wickedly sexy. Now, as a sidebar, the audiobook is totally worth grabbing just to hear Sebastian York narrate this story. Complete.panty.combustion! These characters truly adored each other and it showed in their smoking hot, toe curling encounters. 
 I love this story for its complete lack of melodrama. It's hot, funny, smart and sweet. I suggest you one click this baby, pronto!
