A quick, fun read - the book follows the story of New York City Playboy Spencer Holiday. He's gorgeous, he's smart, he's successful, and (without any hesitation) he shares he is gifted in a certain area. Despite being well-endowed, he proclaims to be a gentleman and all around great guy - just ask his best friend Charlotte, cofounder and business partner of The Lucky Spot. The one agreement these two have had since college is that they watch out for each other and come calling as the "significant other" if any person of interest doesn't get the hint to back off. Spencer decides to "activate" this pact when his father's deal to sell his jewelry company is in jeopardy due to Spencer's colorful "dating" history. As the dutiful bestie, Charlotte agrees to pretend to be Spencer's fiancee for a week; but, what happens when pretend starts to cross the line into fantasy?
This book was absolutely hilarious and while the ending is predictable (come on, it’s a romantic comedy), the reveal towards the end was a bit of a surprise (and honestly created a few questions on the plausibility of it). Despite those few questionable moments, the banter was enjoyable, the steamy scenes were sizzling hot, and the brother/sister relationship of Spencer and Harper is endearing. Apparently there is a Book #2 that is the sister’s story so I will definitely be checking that out!
If you are looking for a quick read to put a smile on your face, I highly recommend this one!
