I’m fake dating my ex’s brother…all on national television.GabbyI just needed a fake boyfriend to be on the reality show Desperate Househusbands with me to prove once and for all I was over my evil ex and living my best life.Too bad the only guy willing to do the job turned out to be my ex’s half-brother.Dimples are my kryptonite and he’s got two of them.RhettI was intrigued by her before I knew … and he’s got two of them.
Rhett
I was intrigued by her before I knew who she was.
And I admit, I signed up for the fake boyfriend position because I was curious how someone so successful could have dated my asshole brother.
Maybe it’s the way her edges soften at night when she cuddles up to me.
Or maybe it’s watching her rebuild her confidence brick by brick.
Maybe it’s just the goats stirring up repressed sexual desire.
Either way, I have feelings. Real ones.
Which is a bummer when my brother, the wrecking ball, comes back through the door, ruining everything we fought so hard for.
Where’s a goat to rekindle the flames when you need one?
Desperately Seeking Househusband is the third sexy RomCom stand-alone novel in the Reality of Love series.

This is another great book by Marika Ray. Gabby wants to get back at her ex-boyfriend of 5 years that cheated on her, by going on a reality show and showing how happy and in love she is. She doesn’t have a househusband, so she does interviews. OMG those were so funny, but she does not find a match. However the guy sitting next to her in the coffee shop, decides to ask, and applies for the job. Rhett is perfect, but unbeknownst to Gabby, he is her ex’s half brother. Rhett and Gabby have instant chemistry, and it is fun to watch their attraction and feelings for each other grow. Throw in some crazy, rich characters, goats, and all the camera’s for the reality show, and you have some very comical moments, but there is also some sizzling going on between Rhett and Gabby. The scenes with the goats – Oh my!! If you are looking for something to make you laugh and want great characters, pick this one up, I am positive you will not be sorry.
Desperately Seeking Househusband was a fabulous addition to the Reality of Love series. Gabby and Rhett, while seemingly opposite on the surface were perfect for one another. I laughed so hard throughout the entire story. Marika really has that magical balance of making a book funny, yet still romantic and sexy. Add in some reality TV craziness and adorable goats, and how can you go wrong? Spoiler alert: You can’t. I loved everything about this book.

I guarantee a great time reading it. Marika is one of my main go to for romantic comedies. She is a powerhouse writer and always delivers a great read for me. I loved this so much– add it to my favorites from Marika!
Desperately Seeking Househusband is a hilarious and romantic story about a couple who’s so different but perfect for each other.
Gabby needs a fake boyfriend to be on a reality show and she finds Rhett, a handsome, younger guy who needs a job. Together they embark in a fake relationship that turns very real in a matter of moments.
Prepare to laugh, cry and enjoy so many moments with the couple and their friends. Low drama level and Amazing characters.
I’ve loved all the Reality of Love books, but this one is my favorite! Rhett is a fun-loving red-headed hottie and my new book boyfriend. Gabby is gorgeous, but has this crazy laugh and that alone makes her so relatable!
I’m a huge fan of text conversations in books, and theirs did not disappoint. And let’s talk about the 8,000 amazing names for a certain part of the male anatomy that Marika came up with. I have favorites. You’ll have to read and choose your favorites for yourself.
Marika’s character development is always fantastic, and this book was no different. I loved watching these two work through their deep-seated issues together. Even her secondary characters got to work through issues and come up better in the end.
If you like hot red-headed heroes, slightly broken characters working to their own HEA, ridiculous reality TV antics, GOATS – yes, real goats, snort-laughing, and HOT s3xy times, this book is for you!!!
*I received this book ahead of time and made no commitment to leave a review, favorable or otherwise.*
I LAUGHED SO FREAKING HARD!!! Like tears rolling down my face hard! How crap I LOVE Marika’s writing, I’ve read quite a few books from here and they get better and better each time and Desperately Seeking Husband is no exceptions. Revenge is ALWAYS a good book!
This was a fun read. Revenge at its best is what Desperately Seeking Househusband by Marika Ray brings you.
Gabby is out for revenge. Her boyfriend of five years has been cheating on her and calling her boring. So what does one do to get back at a cheater? Go on a reality show of course! Only problem, she doesn’t have a househusband. So put an add out for one. She sits in a coffee shop interviewing wanna be fake househusbands. Aside from the guy with three nipples, she runs out of options. Fortunately for her, the very handsome guy at the table next to her overhears everything and signs up for the job.
Rhett is currently couch surfing looking to start his own business. A surfer boy throughout, his dream is to create custom surfboards for people. He’s listening to this gorgeous girl next to him talking to random men about pretending to be a fake househusband. Sounds like a great gig, he’s signed up. But of course, there is one little problem. Her ex is his step brother. Let the fun begin!
Marika Ray knows how to write a rom-com. She brings a funny story with a twist and lots of laughs. She creates her characters to have great chemistry which come out at the end when these two go from fake to the real thing. Thank you Marika Ray for making me giggle at night when I read.
This has to be one of the funnier books I have read this year, it was so well written and the concept of rich couples and being on reality TV certainly opened it up to all sorts of crazy scenario’s. The chemistry between Rhett and Gabby is hot, hot, hot! I would certainly recommend this book to everyone.
OMG! I have laughed SO much throughout this book! It will not disappoint!!! A MUST READ!!!!
OMG, that is one great story! I loved the characters. Laughed so much with this one. Gabby and Rhett have so much fun while working out their hangups. I highly recommend this book.
I received a free arc from the author and this is my voluntary honest review.
Gabby signed up for the reality show to prove something, but had to hire the nonexistent mate she had to appear with. Rhett makes you think of a surfer type but as you get to know him, his energy is infectious and he makes the story so fun.
I liked the story because the humor was great and Gabby and Rhett needed each other to get over their toxic relationship with the same man. They encouraged and supported each other. Rhett never failed to tell Gabby what he admired about her.
The story is a slow burn but worth the wait. The steam factor is relatively mild, but not absent any steam. There will be a nipple, sometimes three, and a giant Johnson (with many other euphemisms), unclothed individuals and yada yada yada. I plan to read more books from this talented writer.
Some great laughs and swoon worthy moments in this book! Rhett was a sweetheart looking for direction in his life. Gabby was looking at rubbing her exes nose in her new found happiness. I enjoyed watching their relationship develop and how they helped build each other up.
I loved this book. Romance always finds a way to bring two people together. I loved the ups and the downs with these two. It pulls you in and gets you hooked then it makes you wonder what will happen in the relationship. It’s hot, steamy and sweet all wrapped in one book! A page turner, that keeps you hooked reading page by page. The laughs, the emotions, and then to have people watching parts of your lives together. I love Marika’s books and will always read her books. It’s a book I highly recommend. Thanks Marika.
