Synopsis: "How did you two meet?" It's the quintessential question asked to every couple, and the answer is usually some bubbly, lovey-dovey tale of being struck in the bum by Cupid's arrow. But Lottie Gardner's meet-cute was a little different. She was trolling a wealthy neighborhood in Beverly Hills, searching for someone to take her as his bride―you know, to make the arch nemesis who just fired her jealous. And billionaire Huxley Cane was conveniently stomping around the block like some sort of gorgeous ogre, mumbling about a business deal gone wrong. That's when they bump into each other. No sparks. No fireworks. Not even the first seed of blossoming love. But the next thing Lottie knows, she's scarfing down chips and guac, listening to Huxley lay out his problems, and then he tells He lied to a crucial client, and he needs a huge favor. A fake fiancĂ©e. He's talking living in his mansion together, going on intimate double-dates, and pretending they're head-over-heels in love…and engaged. It's ridiculous, but people do ridiculous things when they're desperate. And Lottie and Huxley both reek of desperation. So, she strikes up the deal. Except her one mistake might be accidentally falling for the incomparable, insufferable Huxley Cane.

My Review: I love the marriage of convenience trope. The reluctant relationship that leads to falling for each other gets me every time. This book doesn't take itself too seriously, which is nice to read ever once in a while. It contains fun banter, which I enjoyed. I would recommend giving it a read if you're in the mood for a fun romance story.
Review
"Don't let that cute cover fool you- this is SMOKIN' HOT, with sexual tension dripping from every page. I was HOOKED from the start, and I devoured it at an alarming rate, even for on eof Quinn's rom cons. And this IS a rom com, albeit a very tense and steamy one." - Jeeves Reads Romance
"Top freaking notch!! I totally have a new favorite MQ book. This story was so laugh out loud hilarious, my kids kept asking what was so funny! The sexual tension between Hux and Lottie was fan my face fantastic. These two take the saying there's a thin line between love and hate to the max. I cannot recommend this book enough."- LA.
