Faking it led to making it.

Obviously, the cover of Big Rock is sexy, but the story is too. It's also extremely funny, cute, sweet and romantic. One thing I find interesting when I read friends to lovers story is that one or both are scared of ruining their friendship if they take it to the next level. It's interesting because I think a deep friendship with your partner, should be the cornerstone of the relationship. My hubby is my best friend in the whole wide world. My Mum and Dad are best friends and I'm pretty sure hubby's parents are too. I think because of this, my belief in a HEA for friends to lovers storyline is stronger.

This story is completely told from Spencer's point of view, and to be honest, I started out thinking he was a bit of a douchewaffle. It's probably understandable that he's a wee bit arrogant, considering he's good looking, rich, has a great family and strong friendships. It also helps that he's got decent "equipment" and knows how to use it...or so he's been told. Spencer is a manwhore and proud of it. He doesn't want a serious relationship and is happy the way things are. He has become a little famous in his exploits, and unfortunately, it could end up costing his dad a big business deal. His solution...change his ways and become respectable. Bring in The Fake Fiancee.

Charlotte is Spencer's best friend and business partner, owning and working in their three bars together. Their friendship is strong and they know they can count on each other. When Spencer comes up with his wacky plan, she, at first, hesitates but then decides it will work in her favour too. Charlotte has a pesky ex who won't leave her alone. She can use Spencer to make her ex finally accept they're not getting back together. Besides...it's only for one week.

They set ground rules and make plans and everything is going along swimmingly. And then they kissed. Sizzles and sparks set this couple on fire and because they know each other so well, the connection is intense. I could feel it jumping off the pages. Before long, their emotions get involved, but neither knows how the other feels.

I really enjoyed Big Rock and loved that it all started because Spencer was trying to help his dad sell his jewellery store, so he could retire. I did not like the family involved in the business deal. He was a sexist pig and between him and his wife, they were both narrow-minded and old-fashioned. I loved Spencer's best friend and sister and can't wait for their story.

This is a very sexy read and by the end, I was convinced Spencer really did know how to use his equipment. The romantic scenes at the end were very sweet.

If you're looking for a funny, lighthearted and sexy story, Big Rock would be perfect. I will definitely be reading more from this author in the future.
