#1. Don’t fall into his bed.

There’s one small problem…I’m REALLY bad at following my own rules.
Just when I think there’s a glimmer of hope he feels the same way,

OMG what a hot book! Alexis has done it again! You will not be able to put this book down. I could not wait to see what would happen next. Her characters are vibrant and full of life. The sex is steamy. There are misunderstandings, tense moments, lots of times where the line between acting and reality blurs, jealousy, and of course, HEA.
Cameron is sex-on-a-stick handsome. Rich, famous. He can have any woman he wants, and he wants a lot of women, just no relationships. When his potentially biggest client informs him his businesses are family oriented, and that he honors family values above all else, Cameron thinks he is in trouble. He knows it when he’s invited to spend a week with the client and his family. So he invents a fake fiancé. Now he just has to produce her.
Enter Samantha. Beautiful, but about to be evicted, Sam is desperate. When her BFF tells her that her husband’s best friend, Cameron needs a fake fiancé for a week and is willing to pay dearly for the privilege, well, what else is a girl to do?
Even though there is a contract in place, Neither Cameron or Samantha are sticking to it. The sparks fly between them. They can’t avoid their emotions, or the bedroom. Yes there is steamy sex. Watch as they try to overcome their barriers and admit they are falling in love. HEA is assured. But it is not an easy road to get there.
I loved this book! It is a keeper.

Samantha was down on her luck with her finances. Cameron needed a big win. Could a contract to become fake fiances be the solution for both of their problems? Sex, wasn’t in the contract. But both agreed that it was no strings attached. But could it really be? After all; pretending to be each other’s fiance means getting to know each other and getting close. But when is it too close? Can the terms on the contract stay intact or will things need to change?

Loved everything about this book. I’m 100% a fan of this author s writing always has well developed characters and storyline s that have enough heat and chemistry to keep me turning the pages.
Main characters are Cameron and Samantha. While the story line sounds familiar and has been done in other books there is something alluring about Cam and Samantha’s possible relationship that keeps me reading.
Best friends El and Griff help our main characters along the way making the reading even more enjoyable.
I enjoyed the ride. A little bit of steam, a little angst, and an HEA. Good Reading. I received an ARC copy of this book and am leaving my honest review voluntarily.
Another must read Alexis Winter. A fake engagement with twists. Page turning that’s interesting. So realistic coming home power off. Knowing exactly how long hot water last..small detail that could’ve makes more real. Also using the phone light to see, I use mine at night if have to get up. These small details make so relatable. I highly recommend. Quick happy read. With a hea
It was good to read how someone can change their mind about relationships. He was clear about his expectations from the beginning and she accepted that when she signed. Neither expected to like each other and that messed everything up. Their expectations were not realistic of each other yet they did come around to a really admitting their feelings. Good read

I received this book as an advanced reading copy and I would like to give my honest opinion about what I read.
This book will, make you cry, you will get frustrated with the characters, and they will make you laugh out loud at some of the lines that Alexis comes up for these two people that she has created. Both go into this agreement with eye wide open each with their own goals. However the gray lines start to come forth, and each is afraid of rejection of the other. The problems with these two is they don’t know how to communicate. The question is will the learn how before it is too late.
Samantha is in a real pickle right now. Since her friend Janelle or El I should say moved out to be with her fiance Griffin a few months ago her trying to make ends meet have come to the forefront of being impossible. She has even been working double shifts at the ER and that doesn’t even help. El comes to her apartment for their annual girls night of Netflix to discover that Samantha has had her internet turned off. She keeps asking Sam to let her help her but Sam has her pride and right now it is on the verge of biting her on the back end.
Cameron Styles is one of three partners in a law firm. They have been trying to land this one account with a huge grocery chain for the last several years. Mr. Smithfield has an appointment with them that afternoon but had to move it up to the morning because he was expecting his first grand baby any moment now. He needed to fly out of Chicago and get back to Georgia ASP. Cameron had really wanted his fiends and partners there on the meeting. They were the ones that had more of the moral compass that Mr. Smithfield was looking for. Not that Cameron was a bad guy it is that he was a playboy of sorts. He didn’t do relationship. He had his reasons why but I don’t think that even he really knew why. Mr. Smithfield was not convinced that Cameron was the right man to represent their family oriented company. In a moment of panic he told Mr. Smithfield he had changed and even had a fiancee now. The only problem was is that he did not, and he needed someone to find and fast. Mr. Smithfield had invited him and his fiancee to spend the week with them in Georgia in his guest house before he decided on singing a contract with him. He went to his friend Griffin to tell him about his problem.
Sam was leaving work when the doctor that she has been crush on for months now asked her out on a date that night. Of course she agreed. She even called El her exciting new on the way home. El also told her what she had over hear Griffin and Cameron talk about. El told her that it would be the perfect way to get herself out of her mess she was in. Sam however assured El that everything was fine. She rushed into her apartment turned on the lights and…nothing. She found some candles and went to the box that she kept her money and bills and sure enough there was the electric bill with a big fat final notice stamped on the front of it. Opening it she found that it would cost over nine hundred dollars to catch up with her past bills and the attitudinal to have it turned back on. More than her paycheck. Now she knew that she had to take the job offer with Cameron.
When they meet she didn’t let on any false airs about herself. She let him know exactly the type of person that she was. Though he didn’t want to admit it Cameron was drawn to her. He gave her the contract after their dinner evening she went home to look over it then agree to everything it said. There was on thing that Cameron had left out of it with out thinking and that was the sex part of the contract.
These two get together with one agreement but all they do is confuse themselves with their own feeling and not knowing how to interpreter the others. They do some insane things together but then again the unknowing know how to hurt each other as well. Will these two ever find their happy ever after? I guess that is just one thing that will have to be read to find out if and how.
Cameron is a high-power, high-dollar, big-city attorney with an unrestrained libido. Everyone knows he’s a man-whore, including a possible big client who wants an attorney to share his own family values. Cameron “invents” a fiancé to prove he’s turning over a new leaf and has become a moral, upright man. He hires Samantha to pose as his fiancé, live with him, and be on his arm as they travel for a vacation at the client’s Southern estate. Of course, we all know how those all-business-no-benefits things work out, right? This book is a quick read but, believe me, you’ll soon be reading as fast as you can while trying to catch your breath! Will it turn into the real thing, or will they just fake it till Cam lands the client? Hint: they’re both commitment-phobic, so it’s a long shot!

The story was amazing. The storyline is great, the characters are so opposite. Samantha, a struggling nurse who is in need of money to help her with bills and such. She is an independent woman who refuses to ask for help. Her best friend, El, is wanting to be there for her too. Cameron, handsome, powerful Lawyer in Chicago decides he needs a fiancé. Well low and behold, he comes to find the perfect candidate. The two hit it off really well becoming friends! Samantha and Cameron and are so different that I believe that’s what makes this story great. I love their HEA and can’t wait to see what comes next for them.

Samantha has been down on her luck lately. She works long hours at the hospital, is broke and about to be evicted when her best friend calls her with an offer she just can’t refuse but what will happen once the job is done??
Cameron is part owner of the top law firm in Chicago. While trying to land a big client his firm wants to represent the client tells him he is looking for a family man to represent his company, before he can even think about it the words flow out of his mouth. Now he needs to find a fake fiancé to help him land this client. Last thing he expected was the woman his friend suggests.
Lines will be crossed, words will be said but when the deal is done will they be able to walk away and pretend that the feelings don’t exist??
