Her Accidental Boyfriend
by Robin Bielman
Really cute contemporary romance set in the fictional town of Cascade, Oregon. Kagan is incognito, having fled New York, her domineering father, and the boring man he wants her to form a merger, er, a marriage with. Nobody in Cascade knows she's the daughter of a rich celebrity turned businessman. She's serving drinks at the local pub and flirting with her customers, like Shane, but never taking it another step.
But the not-quite-ex tracks her down, and to throw him off and encourage him to leave town, she claims she has a boyfriend, er, this guy right here, Shane. Shane is willing to go along with the ruse, and of course, they fall in love along the way.
It's steamy, not explicit, so while there are hot kisses and caresses, the reader doesn't get to SEE it go farther. This did not bother me, but if you're looking for more, you may feel frustrated. Kagan is something of an uneven character, one moment all confidence and poise, at others with a backbone like silly string. Shane is supposed to be something of a bad boy/playboy, but he really is too nice to pull that off. The big ending felt a little too dramatic and overdone, though sweet. The integration of family and friends was very well done, definitely giving it the small town flavor.
Overall I liked it very much, would recommend as a beach or airplane read.
