Revenge is a dish best served cold or smoking hot if it’s in the form of Adrian Builder, America’s No.1 top model!
I can already see it… the headlines for tomorrow’s tabloids.
Female CEO of world-famous clothing line gets dumped for a model at her own label.
Damn it.
If only there was a way to exact revenge on my slimeball of an ex,
And also save my reputation at the same time.
Oh, wait…maybe … time.
Oh, wait…maybe there is.
What if I can change the headlines?
Female CEO of world-famous clothing line dumps her ex for America’s Most Sexy Heartbreaker.
There is only one problem though.
How do I get America’s Most Sexy Heartbreaker to fake it with me?
Especially when he is on a huge spree turning down all deals from my company.
The Jerk.
But maybe the nth time is the charm… yeah, right.
Honestly, I fully expected him to refuse this time as well…
Until he actually signed on the dotted lines.
Seems like he is interested in our contract… if there is me thrown into the equation.
Not that anything will happen with the smartass.
It’s all pretend.
And access to my heart is Forbidden.
No way am I letting another man in, especially one who could make panties burst with just a glimpse of his nuclear smile.
But when faking it gets a little too real…
Can I stop myself from falling for the big bad wolf of the fashion industry?

IT’S WORTH 7 STARS, EASY!
What a fun story! MY FAKE FORBIDDEN BOYFRIEND has so much wonderfulness to it I don’t know where to begin this review.
I loved the storyline. It was a bit different from the normal fake boyfriend ones I’ve read before. The characters are what really set it apart for me.
Each character, from main characters to supporting ones, was so well described that I could see them acting out the scene as if it was a movie playing in front of me. I could not stop until I finished it. Lost a little sleep, true. But it was well worth it! This book is a hit!
Rin is an executive of a fashion house. Aiden is a high fashion model who Rin propositions to model her new line. He also pretends to be her fake boyfriend to seek revenge on her scumbag ex. But things don’t always go as plan. Rin has such low self esteem about herself that she almost ruins everything.

I really wanted to like this book. The description sounded interesting. It took everything in my power to finish it. At some point, I had to skim through it. This wasn’t until after I had read about 75% of the book.
Rin was one of the most awkward, ill at ease, insecure, dispassionate, uncertain h’s that I think I have ever read. I don’t see how she could possibly be in charge of a corporation whether what they made was amazing, or trash. The woman seemed to only be able to have a conversation with her two friends.
I kept reading, thinking that after meeting Aiden and spending some time with him, she would stop with the not being able to complete a sentence. I seriously kept expecting this book to get better. Every time I thought she was coming out of her shell, she turned into a bumbling idiot again.
That level of insecurity throughout the book does not make a character likable, sympathetic, or endearing. I got no sense of chemistry between Aiden and Rin. I got NOTHING.
This book was obviously not for me. It came so close to being a DNF, because I ceased to care. The very last chapter and epilogue only made me feel like it’s finally over. I saw several 4 and 5 star reviews. I just don’t get it.
I could only recommend that you read this and judge for yourself. Just because it wasn’t for me does not necessarily mean you won’t enjoy it.

Unexpected layers hidden away
This was a wonderful book about a girl and her life with her amazing friends and the man who becomes the love of her life.
Rin is the President of a world-famous clothing line company. It’s a position she inherited from her mother. It isn’t her passion by any means, but she’s kept the company going very well, and wants to introduce a new line of clothing too.
She has the constant companionship of her two best friends, Aria and Cassie. The girls met each other when they all attended the same boarding school at the age of 12. They’ve been close ever since.
Rin gets dumped by her boyfriend Brad, and he starts dating a young model from her label. He’s an obnoxious twat, so I say good riddance. But, she’s hurt and her ever-supportive friends want to plot a revenge plan (well, Aria more so). There’s an LA-based model Rin has been trying to entice to her label, and he’s determined to be the best option in this jealousy plan to get back at Brad. In order to get Aiden to even consider an offer, they come up with a contract with a special extra offer. Will he take all that’s offered?
Aiden moves to Miami for a short time. There are dramas and confused feelings and expectations. Will this drive him away? How will everyone feel?
The characters were fantastic, very likeable (loveable really), and the kind of people you’d want in your lives (with the exception of Brad and Rin’s parents). As a lead, Rin was a breath of fresh air. She was so honest and had such great integrity. I loved the way her friends and Aiden appreciated those qualities, and that she never really wavered from them.
I loved the emotional and physical passion, and how they connected on so many levels. There were some wonderful surprises along the way too. I’d love to see a follow-up book about these characters, as they really pulled me into their story! If I could give it more than five stars I would! This is one I definitely would and will recommend!

I thought that this was a very good read. Overall. I found this romcom to be light, fun, sweet, cute, emotional and steamy. I liked Rin and Adrian a lot but admit to also finding myself irked with them on more that one occasion. For the most part though this was simply a enjoyable and entertaining book. I am electing to post a truthful review.
