So many adorable moments and crossover references. I loved the meddling family's, fun dates, and just so many LOL moments to be had.
Even though Fiona and Dixon may have grown up in opposite worlds, they are more alike than they realize and it's only when they spend time together, peeling back the lies and layers, that they truly discover their true selves and really enjoy each other to their fullest.
The outstanding moments came in with the blend of the large Hartigan family and the Beckett's. While the Beckett's is smaller, they are no less meddling in family affairs. Dixon and his cousins come up with a dare, while highly intoxicated of course, to be the last man standing in love, before the end of the year. The dare is, somewhat childish, but the Beckett's never back down from a challenge and Dixon is by far one of the worst when it comes to never losing. He has to win at all costs, but he also sees no problem with this particular challenge. Love is something he never plans to do again so winning will be easy.
Dixon has been married and is currently a widow. He's vowed never, ever to fall in love again. Been there, done that, never wants to feel that kind of pain again, but he also never loses. He has to win at all costs. He plans to take on this dare, six dates, no falling in love, no problem. That is until he meets Fiona Hartigan.
Why would Fiona ever date Dixon, especially knowing it's all for a bet? She wants revenge. Dixon is the CEO of a cosmetics company and he's dismissed her three times for a meeting. Three...stood up, dissing her, ignoring her times.This is her chance for an in to present her Nana's products. She just needs to play it cool, help him win his bet and then she can ask him for any favor. It's a win-win for both of them. That is until she starts falling for the man vs. the CEO tycoon.
With lots of steam, adorable meddling family moments, and the best reason of all...a hot mama's boy...this book is a win-win-win.

An entire series of dating for convenience. SIGN ME UP LIKE YESTERDAY.
If you can't tell it's one of my go-to tropes.
Fiona is so awesome even if she doesn't give herself enough credit. Someone doing whatever she needs for her family is not the pushover she believes she is. We have all been there where it seems like it's just bad guy after bad guy, you find out you are the other woman. You are not to blame hunny he is. I love watching her start to love herself.
Dixon is ehh Dixon..... billionaire dude who doesn't want love blah blah blah not very memorable even though the story is 50% him telling it. But if you ask me in a month who he is I probably won't be able to tell you.
