Kate McLeod was desperate. Her younger sister was having her first baby, her younger brother was recently married, and . . . Christmas was coming. And in the McLeod household, Christmas was everything. Every year her parents’ house looked like an assembly of angels had puked everywhere. She was talking lights and glitter, garland and plaid. EVERYWHERE. All of that Christmas spirit was topped off … off with the annual McLeod Holiday Party, complete with mistletoe and happy couples and . . . her lonesome single ass. Kate, the one everyone tried to set up with their friend or cousin or coworker. Kate, the oldest and pathetically unmarried sister. Kate, the sad, single San Franciscan. Well, this year she had a plan. She was going to get herself engaged. A diamond ring on her finger was the perfect way to get her family to back off. And she had just the perfect guy in mind.

Loved this book! Yes, it’s instalove but it’s so well written with characters that are so fresh and fun that I couldn’t help but love it. These are 2 people who each have their own insecurities deciding to take a chance and end up with the person they’re supposed to be with. A very easy, enjoyable standalone read.
As I’ve mentioned in the past, I’m a fan of Elise Faber. I honestly have yet to read a story that disappointed me. Yeah, some are more than others but at the core of them all is an author that is multi-talented and has proven she pretty much write any trope well. The story of Kate and Jamie had me smiling from ear to ear from the beginning. It’s a sweet story with enormous spark. I couldn’t wait till the end but yet I didn’t want it to end! Jamie is as swoon worthy as they come, and Kate is gloriously likeable! When you have such electric spark between the leads and you blend in all kinds of family shenanigans, you have yourself a delightful afternoon read! (Just like any other Elise book lol) Go forth and enjoy!
Kate NEEDS her mom to let up wit the blind dates, and set ups. She is the oldest child and the only one not yet married. So she tells her she has a fiance’. Then has a few days to find one! She and Jamie have never met but are instagram friends of friends. She is crushing on him so messages him with her request to play her fake fiance’. Jaime immediately answers yes! Kate has no clue how Jaime is crushing on her and has been working his way into asking her on a real date! Jaime is the sweetest kindest man, just who Kate deserves. Love this romantic story!
Bad Engagement is a sweet, funny & steamy insta-love read that is definitely worth taking the time to read. This book was engaging from page one, made me laugh, has all the feels and a rooster on a leash, how could you not want to read it now!!!

Kate McLeod is the oldest of the McLeod siblings and the only one not married, much to her mother’s dismay. When her mother once again tries to fix her up with a blind date, Kate has had enough and tells her mother that she is already engaged and will be bringing her new fiancé for family dinner on Friday. Only problem is she has to find a fake fiancé by Friday. Kate decides that she is going to ask @Jaimethevet who she has been following on Instagram to pretend to be her fake fiancé and strangely he agrees. When they first meet there is an instant connection, but having their hearts broken in past relationships and their trust broken, both have trouble opening the door to let the other in. Can they learn to trust and to love and to give and to take and make this relationship work? Great quick read, lots of fun – would definitely recommend.
This is a fun, fast read that had me hooked from start to finish! I love this series and LOVED Kate and Jamie’s story! This is a feel good, fake fiancé, romance that gives you all the feels.
A must read book for sure!

Bad Engagement is sweet, funny and charming all rolled into one wonderful story and I enjoyed every moment of this lighthearted and fun read. There are also some emotional moments and real life situations about relationships and opening up and letting another person see your vulnerable side. It is never easy to completely put your faith in another person. This is about finding the right person for you and allowing yourself to fall and find your HEA.
Jamie and Kate meet though instagram when Kate asks Jamie to pretend to be her fiancé. They have had a mutual crush on each other for some time but have been too shy to do anything about it.
This is a highly entertaining story and Jamie and Kate come from big, nosy families, which add to the entertainment. I found it easy to like Jamie and Kate and thought they were perfect together. They make a great couple and are good for each other.
Thanks to the author for providing a copy of this book via Bend and Snap. The opinions expressed are my own.
Bad Engagement is a fun, sexy, entertaining read! I loved Kate and Jaime! Jaime has has a crush on Kate since following her on social media. When she ask him to be her fake fiancé it’s just the chance that Jaime needs to get to know her. The journey they take toward a real relationship was heartwarming, fun, passion filled and very enjoyable! I loved their witty banter! Once again Elise has written another fantastic story in the Billionaire’s Club series!
Bad Engagement (Billionaire’s Club Book 10) was such a fun read. It is book 10 in the series but can be read as a stand alone.
Kate & Jaime are so sweet together & I loved how they treated each other with such kindness & respect.
Am excited to read more of the books in the series.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

I loved every moment of this one.
I received a free ARC copy of this book from the author prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This is a short and sweet and hot romance between two people who meet online and then fall into love at first sight and get to know each other while being fake engaged. I absolutely adored it and am excited to get to know this new group of friends that are loosely connected to the previous characters from the previous books in this series.
Kate is very happy at being single but her mother not so much. So she tells her mom a small lie that she is engaged and then has to come up with a fiancee. Thats when she instagram messages Jamie the Vet and asks him to help her out by being her fake fiancee.
Jaimie has had a crush on Kate for awhile so he decides to go for it. They both fall pretty much into insta lust/love but Kate has a lot of hang ups and so Jamie has to fight for her heart.
I absolutely adored this adorable couple. I loved Kate’s friends and cannot wait for the story in this series.
Kate is sick of her family bugging her about the state of her love life. So this year when she goes home for Christmas, she’ll be bringing along her new *ahem* fiancé. Now she just has to hope the gorgeous guy she asked on Instagram to go along with the fake engagement, will agree. To her surprise, he does, and the the rest is sweet, sexy holiday fun.
I’ve been really liking this series, and I think this one is the best yet. Jaime and Kate are adorable together. Loads of chemistry, family shenanigans, and two sweet characters who find a fake relationship quickly turning to real.
This series keeps getting better and better. Kate blurts out to her mom that’s she’s engaged and now she’s stuck in finding herself a fake fiancé. She follows Jamie on Instagram so she reaches out to him and he agrees to go along with her plan to play her fiancé. I absolutely adored Jamie and want one for my very own! This story is wonderfully written, it’s amusing, humorous, and has such amazing chemistry between the characters. It’s an amazing story and one I highly recommend to everyone!
This is the 10th book in this wonderful series and is Jamie and Kate’s story. The holiday is approaching fast and as Kate is the oldest sibling and a single one at that, she is constantly under pressure from her mom who tries to constantly set her up with dates, and during one of these nagging sessions she blurts out that she has a fiancé, and now she needs to find one and quickly. Jamie is someone that she follows on Instagram, and she reaches out to ask him to be her fake fiancé which he agrees to. Let me just say that every woman needs a Jamie in her life! This is a beautifully written story which is entertaining, humorous, fun, and with sizzling chemistry, which all leads to an engaging and riveting story, which had me completely enthralled throughout this addictive page turner. I highly recommend this talented authors work for all readers.
Proof that sometimes finding love can come from taking a leap of faith. First you have to be open to let love in. This is a twist on love at first sight. A love story that fills your heart with warmth. Tow people both looking one ready for what comes next, the other blocking their own path. Together they break down barriers and build a connection that is unbreakable.
Passionate, fun, witty and hart warming this book is just another hit one the Billionaire’s club series. Amazing and passionate, Elise never fails to give us an exciting read!
This is the first book I have read by this author but it certainly won’t be the last and after reading Bad Engagement I’m left wondering why Ms Faber has not crossed my radar before now. The blurb excited me but this book goes way beyond anything I imagined.
Kate and Jaime’s story drew me in and captivated me from the first page to the last line and their story touched me on so many levels. Kate is the oldest sibling and her mum has been on her back to settle down and it’s on one of these occasions that she inadvertently blurts out that she has a fiancée, so get off my back….
Kate follows Jaime on Instagram and in desperation she reaches out and asks him to be her fake fiancée and come to the family dinner, she never expected him to accept and this when the fun and games begin.
Christmas is my favourite time of year and I love romances set in that magical season, so this book was always going to be a must read. This story ticked all my boxes, I loved the characters and the witty banter they shared, I loved the story and the sizzling chemistry and I highly recommend this entertaining, fun, quirky read.im now going to be playing catch-up with the rest of this series.
Faber takes the cynic route to romance. From bad idea to worse execution, Bad Engagement delivers a one-two punch to the heart and scores a TKO. Faber proves that romance is about more than just falling in love. Through the eyes a slightly neurotic heroine and a more than a tad clueless hero, we learn a valuable lesson. Kate and Jaime show us that life has a sense humor. The key is to find the bright side despite the heartache.
5 star Review Bad Engagement (Billionaire’s Club #10) by Elise Faber
Elise Faber is a new author to me and I am surprised I have not come across her before. When I read the blurb for this book I couldn’t wait to read and review.
From the first chapter to the last I was hooked. This is Kate and Jaime’s and story and it was an entertaining read. I love stories centered around the holiday season and as Christmas is my favorite holiday this was right up my alley.
Sometimes it’s hard to be the eldest sibling, particularly if your the only one unmarried and you are sick of people trying to set you up. When Kate inadvertently blurts out to her mother that she has a fiancee, the fun begins. She suddenly need a fiancee to take to her the family dinner and her mother’s holiday party.
Following Jaime on Instagram she reaches out to ask him out and is shocked when he agrees. Bad Engagement was a fun, quirky story with characters whose story you cannot help but become invested in.
What happens when fake feelings become real? Could this be the start of something wonderful? One click and find out.
This was a very fun read. Kate and Jaime were great characters that were very likable and I felt that they made a very cute and swoon worthy couple. I found Kate to be was very relatable and I think many readers will agree with me on that. Just a really enjoyable read. This is my candid, volitional review.
