One of my favorite things in romance books is when there’s brothers who will clearly always have each others backs, but can also get under each other’s skin like no one else. 

And when one of those brothers is a grumpy rancher, who does romantic things for you, while claiming he’s not into you? Sign. Me. Up.

Rhett and Paige are childhood friends, well, really he’s her older brother’s best friend, but she’s a lovesick teenager all the same. They have a falling out, and the book picks up 7 years later.

They both are in need of something the other can provide, so why not get [fake] married to fix it all? Nothing could go wrong...

This book was AMAZING. I am TOTALLY in my romantic suspense era, and Lex Martin has become a new favorite!! Rhett and Paige had sizzling chemistry, the most hilarious banter, and to watch him ardently fight his feelings for Paige makes the moment he realizes he loves her so much sweeter. 

And the twist???? Holy moly. It was a good one. I loved this book so much, I cannot WAIT for book 2!!!
