Big Rock is a friends to lovers, fake relationship turned real, sexy Romance! Spencer and Charlotte have been friends since college, and now they're also business partners. On top of that, they occasionally pretend to be the other's boy/girlfriend to ward off unwanted advances. Except now, a misunderstanding during a business lunch has Spencer engaged to Charlotte. He didn't mean for it to happen, but he knows that dropping his playboy image will help his father with this business deal. Luckily, Charlotte agrees to the charade, but she has a proposal of her own.

Big Rock is told entirely from Spencer's POV. He's super cocky, but he's also likeable. He knows what he's good at and what he's got going on, but he's not a jerk. And he really is a great friend to Charlotte, and he gets along with his family! That's sadly quite rare but also refreshing. Spencer just wants to help his father, and hopes he and Charlotte can pull this off. As for what she wants in return, well, Spencer is hesitant at first. Sex with your best friend cannot end well, but they have some off the wall chemistry! Holy sexy times, Batman!

I really enjoyed Big Rock. It's a pretty standard Romance novel, but there's nothing wrong with that. I loved the characters and of course it uses my favorite trope so I was all in! I'm also glad that there was no unnecessary drama thrown in just for the sake of drama. Lies always catch up with you, as it does with Spencer and Charlotte. But it was all handled realistically and the ending was very sweet.
