Big Rock by Lauren Blakely
3.0

Did I love this? No. Will I remember it in two days? Probably not. But did I smile my way through this? Yes indeed I did! I don't actually read that many contemporary romances (although I think my recent books may now start belying that statement), but the sub-trend of male pov is kinda fun. Here Spencer, only son of a jewelry store chain owner and founder of a hit dating app and current owner of a trio of bars in NYC, narrates the story. He claims that his best friend and business partner Charlotte is actually his fiance to appease a conservative, family-values potential buyer for his dad's jewelry business. Cue the fake dating.

Spencer is a playboy who's never had a real relationship but at least doesn't have toxic ideas about women.
SpoilerThe potential buyer turns out to be an incredibly misogynistic dick, but who, thank god, doesn't get to buy the business! And all important characters think his behavior is reprehensible.
All in all, not bad.
