SloanWhat do you do when your best friend’s guy cheats on her?Help her get revenge, of course.Getting caught by his brother isn’t part of the plan. The brother’s price for not turning us into the cops? I pretend to be his girlfriend to help him close a business deal.I’d rather go to jail than play the part of Caleb Stanton’s latest conquest, but my friend has been through enough. CalebWhat do you … friend has been through enough.
Caleb
What do you do when your boss won’t sell you his store because he thinks you’re a flight risk?
Produce a girlfriend, of course.
Blackmail wasn’t normally my thing, but I’ve got less than twenty-four hours. I’d rather extort Sloan for a date or two than disappoint my boss.
We agree to a fake relationship in return for silence. We agree to act like we care about each other. We agree to five dates only.
But we don’t agree to what happens next.
And we certainly didn’t agree to falling in love.

Endless EXCITEMENT
Laugh out loud fun, exciting, enjoyable dialogue, emotionally touching, steamy chemistry. Kept me engrossed and unfolded at a perfect pace. An awesome read that has it all that I enjoyed and would gladly suggest as a fun and exciting read!
It all starts with a little blackmail………well really with some covert revenge
Five Dates Only is the first book that I had read by R.L. Kenderson last year. Yep it took me a year to post a review so slap me silly. I was not sure what to expect with this “new to me” author but the book description looked like it could be a fun and hopefully steamy read. For the most part that is exactly what the author delivered with the story of Caleb and Sloan. The author did a great job with this well written, witty, funny and entertaining fake relationship story that also delivers on the sizzling hot chemistry. Add in some blackmail at the beginning of all this and it even gets more fun as both Caleb and Sloan make their way from fake to ………….. oh no feelings. Very entertaining and you will not want to put this one down once you start it.
I received a copy of this book for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
This was great!
I enjoyed the characters and the storyline. The humor had me smiling, and the writing style was great.
I’d read this again for sure.
A SWEET STORY OF UNINTENTIONAL LOVE
I received this book for free and am giving my honest and voluntary review
Caleb blackmails Sloan into being his girlfriend after she plays a prank on his brother with her best friend. The story leads to their feelings becoming real and them adventuring further into territory neither had planned. A good rendition of something coming from nothing.
So cute. A tiny bit cliched but you can’t get too much of a good thing . I really enjoyed it and found the main pair endearing even in their stupidity . Nice weekend read.
Caleb is a sexy man who wants to buy his bosses store as he retires . Sloan is a sexy red head that he needs to pretend to be his girlfriend . Caleb’s boss wants to know that Caleb is not going to give up on the store that he started and so Caleb blackmails Sloan to help him out . They have a relationship that they banter back and forth . This is a plot I have never seen before ! I was up until 4 am and finishing this the day I started it.
Oh my goodness I loved this book! I loved the relationship, whether forced at first and beautiful at the end, between Caleb and Sloan. As you know it doesn’t go from blackmail to love and I think you will love all the adventures in-between!!

I was in a serious reading slump until I picked this book up. It grabbed me, hooked me, and reeled me in. This book is very interesting in so many ways, and it’s also pretty realistic in the fact that I can see something like this happening in the real world. The characters have personality and depth so it was easy to identify with them.
This is an entertaining and funny novel. I thoroughly enjoyed this one and only wished it could have lasted longer.

h a good time happening within these pages. It’s got some kickin’ banter, impossible to forget characters and an awesome take on the “fake”.
Get ready to laugh alot and fall in love….for real. I received an ARC for an honest and voluntarily review.
It started out with revenge. Sloane and Caleb hardly know each other before the prank but at the first touch of their lips, there’s a zinge. The deal made them go through the 5 dates but everything that happened is on them. I love what the author did between the 4th and 5th dates. It made the plot more authentic. Perfect execution. [I received an advanced copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.]
Sloan is the kind of friend that everyone needs as when Melanie, her best friend, finds out her boyfriend hasn’t been faithful she is willing to be her partner in crime and get her revenge. The only downfall to the plan is that Melanie’s boyfriend’s brother Caleb knows what they did and he wants something from Sloan to keep quiet.
Caleb’s boss wants to sell his business however he doesn’t want to sell it to Caleb as he wants someone more secure in charge. Caleb is determined to show him he is the man for the job and if that means blackmailing Sloan to pretend to be his girlfriend, so be it. Let the fun begin!
Hot chemistry, witty banter and a relationship that starts to feel very real.
I just loved this book it was such a good fun read I would definitely recommend it to all. I love a good fake relationship story so this was a great fit for me I just loved the banter between Sloan and Caleb they also had great chemistry. A super read I ended up reading it in one sitting.
This is a well written fake relationship between Sloan and Caleb who’ve known each other for awhile and had an attraction but neither ever moved on it. Now he needs her help. They fake a love relationship but as time goes by it changes and becomes so much more. I loved their characters and laughed out loud at their bantering. These two are made for each other , now they just have to realize it themselves.The story moves quickly and smoothly and I loved reading it.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
The duo of Renae and Lara – R.L. Kenderson – write books which are sometimes contemporary, sometimes paranormal, but always steamy. Five Dates Only falls in the sometimes contemporary and definitely in the always steam categories!! Grab your cold beverage and let’s chat in the air conditioning about R.L. Kenderson’s Five Dates Only.
Let me just say, everyone needs a best friend like Sloan (I have a Sloan in my life – JW!) She is hilarious. She is smart and loyal. She is vindictive and will cut a heifer if you hurt her friends. So when Sloan gets caught ruining the car of the cheater who is dating her best friend, by his brother of all people, she allows herself to be blackmailed in order to protect her BFF. Sloan’s personality is absolutely the best! Love her! Want to hang out with her!
Caleb was the screwup, the black sheep. After his grandfather died, Caleb dropped out of college and took off to Europe for a year. That was ten years ago and people still think that he is a flake nevermind the fact that he has worked for one company since he was sixteen and is one of the managers. The owner is ready to sell the store and retire. What better way to prove that he is ready for the responsibility than to buy a house and have a steady girlfriend. Wait…isn’t Sloan a relator and isn’t she single?
Yes, I know this is another book about a “fake” relationship which may or may not become real (no spoilers here). Like I said, Sloan is hilarious and keeps Caleb on his toes. Underneath his playboy ways, Caleb is a good guy. This book was a fun, easy read with lovable characters that you will not want to miss out on. Five Dates Only by R.L. Kenderson gets 4.5 out of 5 propellers!!
What a cute story coupled with cute characters, fun storyline and plenty of steam, sizzling chemistry!
Caleb and Sloan have a “whirlwind” fake relationship going on. Of course you know how things are gonna fall, but the journey along the way is filled with fun, games, blackmail, and great sex!
These two ladies always bring a good story and their sexy is so good.
I loved the witty banter and thier fake relationship. The storyline was well written and the characterization was perfect. A trope I’ve not read much of, I thoroughly enjoyed Five Dates Only and can’t wait for the next story these two think up!
