Margo Moretti & Beckham Sinclair.
What a couple, what a book. It’s been a while since I’ve been this enamored with a book that I haven’t been able to put it down. When I wasn’t reading, I was thinking about this book. While I was reading, I never wanted it to end. This is my first book by Kat and it’s safe to say, I’m a fan.
More about the book itself though:
The opening of the book is our FMC Margo working for a lower level security company in LA, when her ex-boyfriends older brother shows up to the office wanting speak with her about something. He confesses that he bought the company she’s working for just for the chance to talk to her about this grand scheme he needs her help with. Basically, he needs a fake fiancé to placate the board of investors at his company who are upset that he’s recently been called out in the media for being a “playboy” & that he’s getting bad press to begin with (mostly to convince them he’s settled down by playing his fake fiancé for a year)
Despite their original reasoning for joining forces, the connection between them has been brewing for longer than they’re both willing to admit. It’s easy to see from even their first interactions that Margo is incredibly responsive to Beck, in all ways. And though he likes to act like every bit of the stoic billionaire, Beck is just as affected by her. The tension between these two is palpable, and had me on the edge of my proverbial seat until they finally gave in.
And lord when that rubber band finally snapped… 🥵
I love an angsty give-in to what the MC’s have been denying themselves of for pretty much half the book. It makes the pay off that. much. better.
And believe me when I say, it’s good. like 4/5 🌶️ good. Beck has a dirty mouth, and loves to taunt Margo every chance he gets. They’re both very vocal 😅
Outside of the bedroom, their banter is witty and comical at times. I love these two characters and I’m thankful to Kat for sharing them with us!
READ. THIS. BOOK.
