For Hollywood agent Julian Hart, representing his best friend - megastar Carter Williamson - means it's nearly impossible to keep his personal life and career separate. To make matters worse, Carter's younger sister has been starring in Julian's wildest fantasies more often than he'd shows up on his doorstep needing a place to crash, suddenly his greatest temptation is sleeping down the hall. Free-spirited Ashley Williamson doesn't do commitment. Jobs, apartments, men - why let herself be tied down? But she's had a crush on her older brother's best friend for years and she's committed to making Julian want her, one towel-clad midnight encounter at a time. But just as things start heating up, their steamy flirtation is interrupted by Carter's east coast wedding. Ashley has no desire to go home and face her reputation as the family disappointed. But living with - dare she say dating? - a successful, sexy film agent could give them something else to talk about. Julian can't believe he agreed to fake a relationsp with the one woman he can never have. And it's going to take more than a little willpower to remember it's all pretend. Or is it?
After previously reading One Night with the CEO by this author, I decided to try this title after promoting it. Again, this book is the second novel of a series and a standalone.
Julian Hart and Ashley Williamson make an attractive couple, but circumstances have meant they've only managed to secretly admire each other from a distance. Thankfully, they manipulate a situation to overcome their issues to pursue a relationship.
Pretending He's Mine is a sexy romance where both protagonists have to learn to live their lives and follow their own dreams to suit themselves and stop living in the shadow of others.
Overall an enjoyable read. There was a point in the middle where the pace is a bit sluggish, but after it picked up again the ending is satisfying.
