Cassia exposed her cheating ex and boss in a red carpet storm of fury, and years later, still can't live down the infamy, although it hasn't done anything for her struggling career. When she's asked to do a podcast on where she is now, she enlists the help of Malik, her tattoo artist and best friend, as a fake boyfriend so she doesn't still look so scorned. But what if he's not faking?
This was a wonderful story. I love Cass's spunk and personality, her vulnerability and fearlessness, and her hope. She was well-rounded and full of beauty, even in her stubbornness. Malik was stalwart, faithful, and so supportive. He smoldered in the best way, and I love the way he made any and everything happen for Cass. His devotion was adorable and although she calls him a puppy for his abject adoration, he was a big dog when it was time to be one. Their chemistry and passion wrapped me up; I didn't want to let them go, and I love how honest they were about their feelings.
The confrontation with her past had me worried for Cass, because she was a track star when it came to her emotions, but she proved me wrong and I loved that. Good book.
