ARC provided for an honest review.
This was my first book by Tory Baker but it won’t be my last! This book was quick, hot and over the top. Just like I like ‘em!
“I have to admit I like when you call me gorgeous—even if you are lying.”
“I’m not, sweetheart. You are fucking gorgeous. You’re so damn beautiful you make my teeth hurt.”
“Your teeth hurt?”
“Because I want to bite into you, mark you. Eat you so that your taste is always on my tongue. Possess you, own you… you can take your pick really."
Tabitha was adorable and Brody was such an alpha male! They had so much chemistry between them and it was great to read about. Also, it wasn’t all sex which I loved. They were friends and got to know each other. Which I loved because I need something else than just sex in my romance.
I really enjoyed this and I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next!

Tabitha Riley has been focusing her energy on her career and becoming a great nurse and receives flack from her family because of it. When her sister, Hilary, calls her to tell her that she is engaged to Tabitha's high school boyfriend, Robbie Stedman, she knows she needs a date to the wedding asap, even if it means creating a boyfriend.
Dr. Brody Miner is the Chief of Surgery and is surprised to hear that he is dating Tabitha and he knows that he isn't going to let this opportunity be wasted.
Can Brody prove to Tabitha that he is more than pretend?
This was a great book and I really enjoyed it!
I thought Tabitha was great and I hated her family! I loved that she was a good nurse and that she had goals that she wanted to accomplish and I was shocked that her family didn't approve.
Brody was initially a jerk but I loved how well he went along with everything! He had so much fun with it all and I was definitely impressed.
I thought the dinner Hilary cooked for Brody and Tabitha was awesome and I laughed my way through it for sure.
The wedding and festivities leading up to it was a shock for how badly Tabitha was treated by her family but I loved how Brody stuck up for her. I was so mad at everything that went down at the end with Robbie and how no one took Tabitha's side. I would have loved for everything to explode on the people that deserved it and not Tabitha.
The end was great with Brody and Tabitha!

Wow, this was... just wow. I love fake relationship stories, but even this is a hard sell for me.
When Tabitha's sister tells her she's getting married in two months and wants her to be her maid of honor, she thinks that's bad news. When she finds out that the groom is Tabitha's high school boyfriend - who dumped her when she decided to go to college and get a job - her immediate reaction is to lie and say she'll bring her boyfriend as well. Her, well, imaginary boyfriend. When pressed on details, she ends up describing the hot - but arrogant - doctor that all the nurses have nicknamed Dr. Asshole. You can guess what happens from here...
When I found out that the doctor's actual nickname was Dr. Asshole, I probably should've just dropped the book there, but this was for a challenge, so I just kept going, because how bad could this get really? Oh, it's bad, oh so bad. Brody - Dr. Asshole - decides to play along with Tabitha's lie, and then, inexplicably, decides that she's "his". A good deal of that seems to be based on the fact that since she's a workaholic nurse, she'll understand that his job comes first, before their relationship. Cue a lot of caveman-like alphahole behavior, plus some dubious consent sex scenes that were more of the "put tab a in slot b" variety than actually sexy.
Tabitha's family is complete one-note trash, and Tabitha is basically a wet noodle with no agency of her own or a life outside work. How she manages to stand up to Brody - the initial "meet cute" that catches his attention - is a mystery to me. In the giant showdown with Tabitha's family, instead of helping Tabitha grow a backbone and stand up to them herself, Brody punches the groom's lights out and then carries her off. And, OF COURSE, she ends up pregnant and quits her job by the end of the novella. Besides that, every single woman other than Tabitha in the book is a gossip monger, greedy freeloader, or clingy marriage-minded nurse - or a combination of all of the above.
I did like two things. Brody's attempts to find a nickname Tabitha liked (Tabberoni - because she loves pepperoni pizza - was my favorite) were hilarious, and Tabitha's sister's ridiculous cooking was giggle (and gag)-inducing.
Overall, this was a bunch of toxic nonsense, and I simply cannot recommend it at all.
