Surprisingly steamy and I was here for it! Quick read, I couldn’t put it down! Hawkins has a fun way of pulling you in. Can’t wait to read other books by her!

This book was a low angst romantic read. I always appreciate when the author doesn't make the H a manwhore.
3.5 ⭐️ This is the perfect rom-com balance of steam and fluff, and you cannot convince me otherwise.
o Enemies-to-lovers.
o Fake dating.
o Billionaire hero.

o Grumpy/Sunshine.
o Age gap (7 years).
o Dog fostering.
This book begins with Barrett and Chloe finding each other to be complete opposites. She thinks he’s a robot-humanoid with no emotions in an impossibly handsome, very much human male exterior; and he thinks she's just her mother's too-attractive-to-keep-around assistant: his robot sensors screaming *major distraction alert*. But when, in order to close one of the most important deals in the history of his family’s company, Barret finds himself lying about having a girlfriend, he has a week to find someone to fit the bill and do it with no questions asked. After Chloe gets herself into trouble at her boss’ home, a deal is struck between them: she will be his date for one night and he will keep her secret. If only things were that easy…
This book is, in my opinion, the perfect rom-com mix of fluff and spice, and honestly I have a hard time finding books that hit that sweet spot quite like this one. Barrett’s dirty talk is honestly top-notch and, although I think Chloe is a bit of a pushover, I get that’s just her personality. I don’t love it, but I get it. The latter part of the book, especially the conflict, seems rushed and unnecessary, and although I know there are some big fans out there of the third act conflict, I’m not one of them. Some books just don’t need it. This one is a good example of a shallow conflict for the sake of drama.
It’s also very much ‘white, rich, American dream’, giving all the Hallmark feels. And I mean, I’m not complaining, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that, but it does bother me that I saw a lack of diversity in this book. Still, I know that there's a time and a place for this kinds of books and mine is apparently right now, cause I really did enjoy it.
This book doesn’t break any moulds, but it is fun, sweet and perfect for a chill day.

Especially with the whole billionaire, NYC brownstone owning, sex-on-wheels hero who ends up adopting the golden-doodle the heroine’s fostering.This book doesn’t break any moulds, but it is fun, sweet and perfect for a chill day.

This book knew exactly what it was and executed. Light, predictable, sexy, quick conflict and third act breakup that was easily resolved, and there's a dog!
Not much else to say about this one. A great little fake relationship fix.

I legitimately do not remember anything about this book. In my notes I gave it 3 stars.
Wait.. wait wait wait it's coming back to me... It was okay. A bit stale.
