Covered in tattoos, sarcasm, and muscles, Arthur McClellan is the best thing to come out of the kitchen since sliced bread. A billionaire from birth, his trust fund hasn’t stopped his drive to achieve his dreams of celebrity chef status. However, a dying wish from his mother has caused him to pivot his aspirations. Instead of being the “bad boy,” he now wants to join the ranks of the happy chefs … chefs of the Taste Network. It’s taken a lot of convincing, but he’s finally landed a show: a wedding special filming in the Bahamas. But the network doesn’t trust him alone. They want a romantic interest: a perfect, bubbly wedding planner to soften his edges. Arthur’s not mad when they pick a wedding planner he’d had a single, very passionate night with. In fact, she just might be the cherry on top of his food show cake.
Cassandra Kelly has been winning the wedding planner game for years, and she wants more: national coverage for her creative celebrations. So when the Taste Network offers her the position of wedding planner on their new pilot, Cassandra jumps at the chance. The only catch? She’s got to be the “girlfriend” of famous bad boy Arthur McClellan— a position not unappealing to her after a celebratory night of passion that left her with a continuous craving for the chef… and an unplanned bun in the oven.
Now, they’ve got to fake their relationship on screen while wading through their real relationship off. They both agree the baby should be kept secret until they’re ready to spill the beans. But when a careless conversation reveals all to the producer, who thinks a secret baby would make for a great reality TV series, they have to decide how real they’re willing to get and how much their romance can weather for their careers. For two people who want to live in the public eye, they must decide how much of their passion they want to keep private.

Will Arthur and Cassandra’s playacting lead to the real deal
Leslie is my #1 author as I love every one of her stories! Arthur is a celebrity chef who wants his own show on the Taste Network. Cassandra is a well known wedding planner looking for national recognition. So when they are offered the chance to be on the Taste Network together, they accept with the added complication of their one night stand. But will playing the needed part for the show bring them together? You have to read to find out and won’t put the book down until you turn the last page.
Chef Arthur McClellan is trying to change his image from the bad-boy tattooed billionaire, and he thinks that if he can get a show on the Taste Network, that will definitely do it.
Arthur had catered a wedding that Cassandra Kelly, wedding-planner, had planned, and they hooked up afterward with no strings attached. Six weeks later, Cassandra and Arthur are going to be shooting a pilot for a new reality TV show on the Taste Network, and the two of them will be partnered together in a fake relationship to spike the interest. And, she is pregnant from their hook up – something she plans on hiding! Pairing up the temperamental chef with a compulsively organized planner should definitely start some sparks flying around! Will going from career-driven to family-focused make waves in their relationship? Will their new reality bring them closer or drive them apart?
I enjoy this author’s books very much. This was a good story line and I loved seeing the characters change and grow here, trying to be the best they can be. Grab your copy and enjoy the “show”!
A grilled cheese sandwich does sound good.
Our billionaire is Chef Arthur McClellan and Cassandra Kelly is who the network sets up to work with our chef. The network wants to tone him down a bit and they think she is just the person to do it. Who knows maybe a fake romance? Just wait there are some serious challenges that these two will face. I will be honest these two characters sound so much like a couple I know like Arthur and Cassandra it works for them and who is to judge. Great job of writing this was a very entertaining story. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
There was just something about Arthur that immediately captured my attention. It might have been the different masks he wore to be what others wanted to see of him, it could have been his feelings of loneliness in the middle of a room full of people, or it might just have been all that vulnerability under his cocky swagger. Cassandra was good but she simply couldn’t compete with my love for Arthur. And the further we got into the story, the meaner she was to Arthur, the less I liked her. I was glad to see that she changed her tune and was able to meet him in the middle after he had his epiphany. And the ending was pretty darned cute.

Arthur McClellan (Billionaire) and Cassandra Kelly (Wedding Planner) get the job of their dreams, a job with the Taste Network. The problem is she is pregnant with his child from one night of hot passion. When he finds out she is pregnant everything he does and says upsets Cassandra. She decides she doesn’t need anything from Arthur. Only thing the chemistry between the two is strong. When they are caught with Arthur shouting to her tummy by the producer with cameras rolling everything changes. Like all Leslie North books this one has strong characters with a lot of chemistry and a HEA.

This was a good read. I liked the characters a lot and I thought that the storyline was fun. I do wish there had been more getting to know. one on one time between these two. As much as I liked them in the end, I didn’t feel the level of connection I would have liked. This is my honest, voluntary review.

Loved this book about the tattooed chef. The wedding planner is not so forthcoming. Thought it was cute the little girl (flower girl) came into the kitchen and told the chef she was hungry. They wouldn’t let her eat so she wouldn’t ruin her dress. So he fixes her an omelet. Well the wedding planner had something to say about that. He takes the insults graciously for a while. Interesting story. HEA.

Arthur was the chef on this very exclusive wedding that could really boost his career. Cassandra who was a well known party planner was making sure everything was running smoothly. Arthur and Cassandra get together throwing caution to the wind. They both received a call from the taste network about a show featuring both of them. They hired both to put together a wedding and the food. It seemed that the bride was becoming bridezilla and trying Arthur’s nerves. They also found out that they were be filming all the time they founds cameras everywhere. Arthur was getting tired of playing the Bad Boy persona. Cassandra meanwhile is getting sick all the time but she tried to hide it. Things started to get tense when the producers found out the baby
This is book two in the McClellan Billionaire series. It reads as a standalone book. I liked this story. It was fast paced and well written. It is truly a standalone since the characters don’t interact with any of the characters from the first or third books. It has plenty of heat and a good storyline.
Arthur McClellan is a tattooed, bad-boy billionaire who is trying to fulfill his moms dying wish, to be happy. Cassandra is a wedding planner and she plans everything in her life. She wants nothing more than to gain a show on the Taste Network. Arthur wants the same thing and to clean up his image. He’s tired of being the bad-boy chef. They worked together on a wedding and shared an evening of passion after the work was done. They walked away from each other never expecting anything else. Six plus weeks later Cassandra finds herself pregnant and they’re both on a pilot for a show on the Taste Network. They’re supposed to be faking their relationship for a reality tv show. What happens when reality tv starts to feel real.

I think that he finally understood true happiness when he met her. She was cheery where he was broody. They worked well for each other and that made them happier in the end.
