Fun read. The relationship began as a result of the heroine's deception, but it was easy to see how the heroine fell into that and how/why she perpetuated the deception. One of those situations where you can see how someone might tell a little white lie in the heat of the moment, but then it becomes bigger and bigger and somehow you just never find the right moment to set the record straight. The banter is always enjoyable, and I love the way the relationship develops. There's the "obligatory" sexual content, but it's a great go-to when you're looking for a bit of escapism and romance.
