This book was a lot of fun! It’s a sexy and flirty romp about a fake engagement that turned out real, with two adorable kids who were the reason for the deal. Although at first, the writing felt a little rough, like a novice writer, the author found her pace and style and then the book flowed nice and steady and fun.
Jules is an upcoming lawyer in the New York firm of Harper, Wells & Milstein. She was working in a case with the son of the managing partner, and one day late at work, she had a close encounter with the guy who had his jewels hanging out of his pants. He was attempting a pick up and what he got was a black eye. Jules got fired, or should we say, encouraged to resign. With no other prospects, she accepts a proposal from Olivia, an acquaintance who runs a dating service. The proposal involves a fake engagement to the CEO of McAdams automotive, who is involved in a custody case.
Caleb McAdams used to be a playboy, when he was in the Formula One running circuit. He’s now grown up and cleaned up his act, but he’s afraid that his previous reputation will harm his custody of his godchildren. Ezra and Lottie are the children of his best friends who died in a car accident a few months ago. The children have an aunt who is challenging his custody, insisting they will be better off with a blood relative. Cal wants to honor his friends’ request and also, he loves those kids and wants to do right by them.
When Jules travels to Boston to meet up with Caleb, she’s whisked right off to the court to the custody hearing. When she arrives, she meets her fake fiancee and has a shock: Caleb McAdams is no other than a one-night stand she had three years ago, and the best sexual partner she has ever had. Since Jules needs the money and Cal is desperate for the help, they proceed with the deal, and a lot of chemistry, hot and sexy tense moments ensue.
The children are adorable and endear themselves to Jules fast. Initially she was a little reluctant to get much involved with them, but experience with a bunch of nephews and nieces made her the expert on kids, so she had to help Cal navigate the first days.
The book has several alternating chapters in which the action flashes back three years and we get to see how Jules and Cal met in Las Vegas and had their fling. Cal had never been able to forget Jules, because for him, it was an unforgettable night, too. There are also chapters in different POV, so we get to see what Jules and Cal feel about the other. There was much bickering, sex play, fun times, noisy children. Then life intruded and they had to get their grown up hat on. It was a fun book to read.
