Another great f**king book that I was blessed with the opportunity to read as an ARC. This book was hotter than hot and it gave you all the feels because you just wanted our MCs to be together and get the happy ending and boy did they. This book had me hooked. I devoured it and I will happily read it again and again and again and again. It makes me want to go back and read books 1-4 because the writing style was amazing. The witty banter and the fake dating and omg it was just an amazing read 100/10 would recommend!

*This was an ARC read and this review is voluntary.*

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved this book! I went in with an open mind, as typically I read thrillmance or horrmance. However, this book was so enthralling, I kept wanting to read more. The interplay and sass between Naomi & Mason is *chef’s kiss*! I love the pace of the slow burn and watching the character development with Mason. You really start rooting for them to have a HEA. Also, the nicknames Mason gives Naomi?! *SWOON* This does follow other romance tropes: fake dating/engagement, opposites attract, out of my league. It’s great to see a romance that is updated and the characters seem realistic to current-day trends, lingo, etc. This isn’t your mother’s romance novel! This is reality TV encapsulated in a spicy read! This book is a part of the Flambé series, but all books can be stand alone. I am definitely adding the rest to my TBR list. Bravo, Elle!

This story was absolutely amazing. I love fake relationships and this story did not disappoint. Mason is such a character that I fell in love with him within the first chapter. This story has the perfect balance of plot and spice. I love watching Naomi develop throughout the story.
