This was an enemies-to-lovers, best friend's brother, fake dating romance. Jessie is pregnant but it's not the MMC's baby. She needs a temporary place to stay and her best friend suggests she stay with her brother, Drew. Jessie can't stand Drew so how is this going to work?
I love enemies to lovers... like it's literally my favorite. But I hate that the "enemies" part of this wasn't quite justified. Jessie hated Drew just because she knew she could love him. So it was her way of protecting herself, I guess. Also, I love some good pranks in a book but the gala one made me cringe. There's a time and a place for a good prank and to me that was just a little over the line. I did love how Drew stepped up to be there for her baby. He did not just fall in love with her - he loved the baby as well. I feel like the personality/humor in this book was the exact same as book 1 in the series, The Off Limits Rule. Jessie was a little much at times and definitely needed to mature a little bit. I loved Drew though. He was an ob-gyn and I loved to see him talk to his patients and how sweet he was.
Overall, it was a cute book, but it just isn't one that I would read again.
