He wasn’t meant to be on my radar, he was definitely the off-limits guy. My brother’s best friend, my friend’s ex, but most of all he was my boss. Hawk Carnage resembled one thing, and one thing only. Sex. He used it, he knew it, he lived it. Hawk owned the largest lingerie company in the world, and I was his leading lady. In business. But now business and friendship were about to be crossed. The … about to be crossed. The lines blurred, and I was ready to dip my toes in the forbidden water. Because no matter how much I said I could refrain from Hawk Carnage, now was not the time.
He was to be my fake fiancé.
And I was about to sink into that forbidden water, with Hawk’s hands clutching my sides.
Lord help me because I was about to enjoy every moment of it.
Even if it was just for fun.
Even if it would ruin everything.
I was going to dive in head first.

One of my favorites I have read!
I enjoyed it.
I read and listened to this book. I truly enjoyed Hawk’s sense of humor and his sexy banter with Britta. He’s her boss, and her brother’s best friend, but she’s been crushing on him since she was a teen, and apparently the striking woman she grew into wasn’t lost on Hawk either. So enter the douchebag ex, who she caught with her best friend before their wedding. Hurt and betrayed Britta threw herself into work but Hawk was keeping an eye out for her.
This book has great characters, uber-alpha Hawk, sexy as sin Britta, the douchebag ex, her betraying best friend, and assorted brothers who would kill on Britta’s behalf if need be. The writing is witty, quick-paced and fun. However, not all is love and fake engagements. There are a couple of twists at the end that make the reader think there may not be an HEA.
The audiobook is amazing, Biff Summers’ voice is so smooth and sexy that you want to find him and let him read everything in your life to you. Felicity Hart does a great job bringing Britta to life, she’s feisty and bubbly. I truly enjoyed this book and will seek out more by this author.
*4 Stars*
I purchased a signed copy of this from Melissa Jane and I finally got around to reading it. Let me tell you, this was my first book by this duo, and I absolutely sped through it and thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
I was engrossed from the start and boy oh boy did I love Hawk Carnage. Hot damn.
I really enjoyed getting to know Britta and Hawk and also the secondary characters such as Britta’s brothers. I would like to read stories about them as well.
The whole fake fiance thing is a trope that I do seem to enjoy more often than not, and then throw in the despicable Roman and Rebekah, and other things that play out, and this was just one engrossing book I couldn’t put down.
I did think that things got smoothed over very fast at the inevitable hump in the road near the end of the book, but there was communication when that happened, so I wasn’t really bothered by it because unlike in other books, these two characters actually talked to each other.
All in all a really fun read, and I look forward to trying more by these authors in the future.
I always admire authors who can team up and write effortlessly (or so it appears). At no point in this story did I think “oh, this author wrote that part and that author wrote this”. The story flowed from one POV to another with no interruptions in style or subtext.
The story of Hawk and Britta is a classic “fake fiance” story. It has strong family values and friendships, romance and sexy times and a bit of a twist tossed in for good measure. I read it in one sitting and enjoyed it from the very first page to the last.
I very much look forward to reading more about the brothers in this story. I think I know who is next (fingers crossed).
Arrogant Fiancé by T.L. Smith

Nothing is better than a man who knows who he is and goes for what he wants. This book had me on edge loving every word and character. Britta and Hawk are a power couple. It doesn’t get much better than them together. Britta is a woman who has been hurt in the most painful way. By her fiancé and best friend the lay at her feet a hard lesson and the ultimate betrayal. Hawk is very intense, curt and demanding. He gets his fair share of lessons in this book as well. The author did a great job making this story flow together and giving the characters life. I liked that Britta was strong and soft. She held her own when needed but than you see her vulnerable side too. The supporting characters played a huge part in how our main characters act and move through their relationship.
Arrogant Fiancé by T.L. Smith and Melissa Jane was a fun read. From the beginning I was into the story and wanted to find out how things would play out. Hawk was the typical hot piece of man meat. You know the one you wished did exist and that you could jump
Him whenever you had the chance.Britta Valentino I felt was the beautiful heroine with the great albeit nosy and overwhelming family. I can’t imagine having so many brothers being so protective of me. Anyway overall I felt like the writing was good and that the story was fun and a great way to forget about reality. Plus the sex scenes were fun too. I would rate 4 stars.

Wow! What a great book, this is my second book by both of these authors and I loved it. I always fall for those forbidden romances and this one just might be one of my favorites
Besides the main storyline I absolutely loved the family element in this story as well. Another favorite is the big brothers protecting their little sister, those stories always seem to grab me.
Hawk was all alpha and it was written perfectly and Britta was awesome, she could be strong yet vulnerable and was a complete goof at times without even trying.
I loved the different elements that these authors brought in, and there were times when you really thought Oh My, can they get through this?
Both of these authors are already on my favorites list and I can not wait to read more from both. I highly recommend this book to anyone over the age of 18, there are quite a few moments in this story where you find yourself fanning yourself with whatever is closest to you.
I Loved It!!
Hawk Carnage….Very self assured, all things drool worthy, powerful in business and a womanizer like you wouldn’t believe. Yeah he’s got the lot and Britta wants a piece of the action.
But there are two things that stop Britta from entering forbidden territory.
One….Her brothers, although they love Hawk dearly they know what he’s like with his conquests. And two….
Hawk is Britta’s boss.
But circumstances are about to change their whole relationship.
Britta and Hawk are going to be thrown together to seek revenge on the coward that broke Britta’s heart.
A one time thing.
One night.
That’s all they need.
Yeah who are they kidding.
Guys what a read. I was hooked from the beginning. Flirtatious, funny, deliciously naughty and all things toe curling, Cocky Fiance is fast paced and I absolutely loved every minute of it.
It was instant love for me, falling head over heels for Hawk and his dominant ways.
Britta, what a chic. She’s sassy, smart, sexy and extremely driven and she’s simply gorgeous.
Britta’s brothers. Guys what can I say. They are what we all want in brothers with their protective nature which was nothing short of heart melting.
A cheeky, risque novel that shouldn’t be missed.
