What do I look like, a baby machine?I swear all my family wants from me is kids. Or at least my mother does.But I’m the black sheep of the family. The one that left for bigger and better things.No farm for me. I’m a self-made billionaire bad boy now.Real estate is the game and making money is my thing.All is well in my bachelor-like world until I rent a cottage on my property to a beautiful … rent a cottage on my property to a beautiful grade-school counselor.
Sweet. Curvy. Smart as hell.
This woman shouldn’t be out of my league, but it feels like she most certainly is.
Good thing she falls for me too. I need a fake girlfriend to take back home, and I’m hoping she’ll be up for the ruse.
Which she is not. Go figure.
Things don’t always work out the way I plan, especially when she’s hiding something from me.
A baby. One I didn’t think I wanted until it was inside of her.
She’s walking away and I’m begging. I don’t need forever to win her back.
Just give me the weekend.
Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~ Weston

A sweet, romantic read. I enjoyed this love story between Elsie and Taydom! This book will keep you entertained from the very beginning. The storyline is filled with rollercoaster feelings of love, loss and angst. A well developed story. I received this book at no cost in exchange for my honest review.
Weston Parker has given his readers yet another wonderfully written bad boy romance story with a great storyline and endearing and likable characters. This friends to lovers/fake girlfriend story has the right amount of drama, flirty banter, chemistry that sizzles and jumps off the pages, suspense, twists, and passion, that eventually leads to a happily ever after.
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
A billionaire meets a plain girl who is after him for love and not his money.
Elsie and Taydom are a sort of friends with benefits, but it appears both of them want more but don’t know how to convey it. She is the first woman he has ever brought home to meet his family. Just because Taydom moved away, went to college, got into real estate and became a billionaire, his father considers him the iceberg that took down the titanic because he didn’t stay and work the farm.. A nail biter. The tension is so thick you could cut it with an electric knife. Now everybody’s feelings are hurt and no one knows what to say or do.. It’s a long road, but they finally all get to the end of it, apologize, reveal their real feelings and then live happily ever after. What a great book. Some things will have you wondering if it will end happily. fabulous book.
GIVE ME THE WEEKEND By Weston Parker
This is the story of Taydom and Elsie, and it is a sweet romance. He is a self made billionaire in the real estate business and she is a school guidance counselor. These two have tons of hot chemistry from the very start. They also have angst, drama, some heartache, and passion. Weston has hit another out of the ballpark with this satisfying story. This is 5 stars.
What started out as a ploy will have you all caught up in Taydom and had Elsie’s drama. Elsie had recently lost her mother and was getting her life back together when she met Taydom at a house showing. Taking him up on his offer to help her find a place will draw these two closer than either one expected and when he takes her to meet his parents under false circumstances just may cause Taydom the best thing he ever had. Will it be too late to correct his wrong and get back into good grace with Elsie? This story pulls at your heart strings and have you in Taydom and Elsie’s corner to make it to a happily ever after.

Taydom And Elsie’s Chemistry Drips Off The Page! Their Story About Family And Loss Brings Together Two People Who Aren’t Yet Ready For Love, Yet Love Eventually Finds Them Anyway. Taydom And Elsie Experience A Beautiful Transformation By The End Of Their Story. It All Culminates In A Tearful Ending.
Elsie Landrum, twenty-eight, is a guidance counselor and PhD candidate in Psychology at Central U in Dallas. Her career was inspired by her mother, who raised Elsie alone and teaches psychology. They remain incredibly close, so when Elsie gets the call and is informed that her mother died from a sudden heart attack, her world crumbles. With no remaining family, she gets by with the help of her long time best friend Beth, but even after two months she doesn’t feel fully engaged in life. She finally takes a step forward and decides to use some of her inheritance to go back to school full time and buy or rent something near her school.
Taydom Gaines, thirty-two, is the king of commercial real estate in Texas – though he still dabbles on the residential side because it is good for business. The mysterious billionaire is a sought-after bachelor playboy in spite of his rude manners and aloof ways. His hard work and devotion to the job eventually led to the founding of Gaines Inc. Taydom expects his emoloyees to work hard as well, and many have achieved great success under his leadership, including his best friend Andrew. Andrew still enjoys living the playboy lifestyle, but for some time Taydom has found it tiresome.
When Elsie arrives at a busy open house, she is surprised when a ruggedly handsome man singles her out but she happily engages in playful banter. For the first time in forever, she feels the stirrings of attraction. But men like him never go for women like her – she is girl next door cute and doesn’t obsess about her weight – so when she discovers he is the listing agent and he gives her his card, his attention makes perfect sense.
When Taydom sees the striking woman with curves across the room, he knows he wants her. He kicks himself afterward for not getting her number, then obsesses until he finally sees her again. Taydom doesn’t do relationships, so he convinces himself that despite his obsessive attraction, he can easily get Elsie out of his system. Somehow he finds himself renting her his guest house, and he knows he is in trouble.
Taydom and Elsie’s chemistry drips off the page! They quickly give into it, but neither has any expectations. They begin an undefined relationship and build a friendship, yet they continue to live in denial that there might be actual feelings involved. Their love unfolds slowly, eventually catching up with their chemistry, and both Elsie and Taydom experience a beautiful transformation by the end of their story. It all culminates in a tearful ending in which the couple gets their happy ending.
Taydom and Elsie’s story about family and loss brings together two people who aren’t yet ready for love, yet love eventually finds them anyway. The story is well-written. The plot is nicely developed. The characters are carefully defined and feel authentic. The story is written in first person. The POV alternates between Taydom and Elsie. I rate this book 4.5 stars.
I received a free advance copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Awesome romance between Taydom and Elsie. Lots of fun drama. Great chemistry between the characters. Storyline was interesting and well written.
What an amazing read! Taydom and Elsie were explosive, chemistry off the charts. Their story was emotional, love and loss. When these two meet, the flirty banter was awesome. Taydom is a playboy doesn’t want to settle down no way no how, no wife, no babies! Elsie has lost someone special to her and is t looking for anything but can meeting the right person change your mind? Loved their story, you will be sucked in from the start. I received a copy of this book.
Another great book from Wes Parker. His plots are always different and imaginative. For me, this one started a bit slow but I loved the story of Elsie and Taydom, both interesting characters who have a past. You and I both know they’re meant for each other, but it takes them awhile meandering through some interesting circumstances to get to the HEA.
Do yourself a favor and read this one.
The storyline was so beautifully written and the characters were so likable, believable and endearing! I loved the banter between Elsie and Taydom and their chemistry was instant and off the charts HOT!
