No feelings.No lies of calling the next day, and no empty promises of not banging anyone’s mother.If I could act like I’ve never met a set of twins I screwed on the same night, thinking they were the same person, then I could do this. It was the perfect set up for a fake relationship and it was simple.We faked our smiles, we faked our laughs; hell, we even faked our love. It wasn’t real.But that … wasn’t real.
But that kiss was anything but fake, and the orgasm was anything but pretend.
Somehow my plus one had become more, and now I’m standing here with my underwear around my ankles wondering what in the hell to do next.

I wasn’t sure how this would turn out to be. I’ve really enjoyed M.N Forgy’s books but they’ve all been darker MC books. So I was a little nervous to jump into a book by her fun alter ego, Missy Blake, because it was just so different than what I’m used to. And honestly, sometimes it doesn’t work out that well. I can happily say that isn’t the truth here. I thought this was a great debut of a lighter contemporary romance.
Rae has spent the past year swearing off men since her past relationship. She’s focusing on working and partying with her BFF. When she runs into the man who helped saved her on one of the most difficult time unexpectedly, things take an interesting turn.
Max’s mother has been setting him up with date after date that all end in disaster. As his sister’s wedding approaches he’s told to bring a plus one or he will be set up again. When he runs into the beautiful woman he helped a year ago, the perfect plan comes together. He asks her to be in a fake relationship. No strings attach and a one month limit. Get through the wedding and then they break it off. Easy enough, right?
As Rae and Max spend time during their fake relationships, the chemistry is explosive. They’ve promised each other they would adhere to the rules, which is to protect them from wanting a relationship and falling for each other. As time goes on, the struggle is becoming more real. Will they be able to resist this pull and follow through with their original plan or will their attraction take them to the one place they promised they wouldn’t go?
I thought this was a fun book. Sure, we’ve read the fake relationship turns to true love story but Missy Blake is able to suck you into the story and keep you wrapped up in it, causing you to not be able to put the book down. Well, that happened for me at least. I think the banter between Rae and Max was super fun and kept me laughing. There are also a few twists in there that throw a little dab of angst.
Rae is fun, witty and full of life. I like that she has figured out just to be herself and she really doesn’t care what anyone else thinks. She’s carefree for the most part and truly just wants to live life. She can also banter with the best of them and she never lets Max get away with anything.
Max is a mix of brooding alpha and fun loving guy, which I think it just perfect. He’s charismatic and you can tell that he is very loyal to those that he loves. And once you see his vulnerable side, your heart will melt. He also has a deliciously filthy mouth that set my body on fire.
Overall, I enjoyed this book. It it is well written with an easy flow that will make you laugh, melt your heart and clinch your thighs.
So I started this story with an open mind as this was something completely different that the author has written. By me doing that I fell in love with the story. I couldn’t get over the crazy banter all the characters had with each other. The way the writing is in this story is like nothing I have read before it’s light and funny with a sense of seriousness to it. Each page was different and had some new twist to the story that made you come back for more. It was easy to get lost into the story and the characters, the world that they lived in with it being fake was the most ridiculously idea I have ever read about, but as I got into the story more and more I loved how it turned and bit them in there own butts lol Rae and Max made this story come to life and be more then just that fake relationship they started with but the love flew off the pages and you could really feel the emotions on every page. This story is so worth the read, you wouldn’t know how to stop. MUST READ!!!!
