Sweeten the Deal by Katie Shepard

4.0

Caroline is an MBA student who is incredibly lonely. After receiving her grandmother’s inheritance and pretty much being cut off by the rest of her family, she wants to start living life a little bigger, but doesn’t know how. So she hired Adrian, a man she finds on an escort site, to be her fake boyfriend and help her become more cultured. Adrian is a struggling artist in need of a little cash, but Caroline is not at all what he expected. As they spend more time together, the relationship and feelings become a bit more real and lines get very blurred.

This premise is very unique and so much fun! It gave me Pretty Woman vibes and I was here for it. The dialogue was hilarious, my heart felt for Caroline and how she struggled socially, and Adrian was an A+ hero. This book was a quick fun read and I really enjoyed it!
