I pretended to be the girlfriend of one of the richest men in New York City. It was only meant to be the one time. I mean, it was the week before Christmas, I was shopping with my best friend and we were hungry and wanted to dine at the new swanky restaurant on the Upper West Side. For some reason the hostess misheard me when I mentioned Max Parker’s name. I’d been complaining that he was the … was the reason why I’d lost my job. Who was I to correct her when it meant that “my relationship” had caused a table to suddenly open up?
And then the next week I accidentally let it slip that Max Parker was my boyfriend to get into an exclusive club. And then there was the time when I saw that Chanel handbag and Prada shoes. I mean, it didn’t really hurt anyone, did it? It was just a little white lie.
How was I to know that my fake boyfriend would find out that I’d been using his name? Now he’s blackmailing me into playing his fake fiancé (Fiancée) in an arrangement that could only be classified as risqué. Turns out if I want to keep my apartment and not move home with my parents, I’m going to have to play along with his game. Only he’s going to have to go along with my rules as well and while he smirks at that idea he doesn’t know that I’ve got a plan of my own.

I can’t with the hilarity in this story. JS Cooper is quickly becoming one of my favorites when it comes to comedic romance. Max and Charlotte are hilarious and the back and forth had me smiling and laughing and just enjoying myself. The twist I didn’t see coming added to the story and their background and why they were the way they were. Lets not forget that they’re sexy and the chemistry is sizzling.
This was a funny enemies to lovers romance story. The email exchanges alone are worth the price of the book.
Charlotte Johnson is a flighty, irresponsible, shopaholic that adds liar to her list of accomplishments when she pretends to be billionaire Max Parker’s girlfriend in order to get seats in restaurants, admittance into clubs and discounts on designer fashions. It started innocently enough as revenge for firing her just before the holiday season. When Max finds out, he plays with her a bit before blackmailing her to pretend to be his fiancee so he can close a deal he has been working on for two years.

This story was definitely a cute one. What started as an almost vindictive move snowballed into a lie that got carried away. Then when they finally officially meet, everything begins to come together rather quickly. The emotional ride at the end was very sweet.

Charlotte was living the life she wanted in NY until it all came to crashing halt when she finds herself unemployed when her company was bought out. She feels betrayed as there wasn’t supposed to be any layoffs and if circumstances don’t change she will be homeless as well so when people believe that she is the girlfriend of the man who caused all these problems why not use that to her advantage as after all he owes her.
Max is a successful businessman who is surprised to find out he has a girlfriend but once he knows what Charlotte has done, he suggests a quid pro quo. What could possibly go wrong?
Fun and flirty this story balances humor, heat and heart into the perfect package.

Great story with strong sassy Charlotte and billionaire Max. She just lost her job and he is the cause but when someone hears her talking about him they get idea that they are dating so she goes along with it as it gets her and her friends into doors normally closed to them. As a reporter tries to get her story they end up kissing and what a kiss it is so happens the reporter is actually Max and he needs a fake fiancee which she has agreed to do or he will sue her for slander. This is a touching story with some twists in the end which is totally unexpected.
This short read is hilarious, sexy, and so sweet. To be honest, I wish this book had been longer and a dual POV so that we could get a better glimpse at Max and Charlotte’s past demons. That being said, this book really is amazing and there is absolutely NO dull moment in Charlotte and Max’s story. I love JS Cooper’s instalove- like stories and adored the interactions between every character especially Charlotte’s best friends. Charlotte is one of my favorite JS Cooper heroines! She’s witty, brave, fun, is hysterical, and outgoing. Max is such a catch! He’s rich, caring, handsome, quick-witted and brings all the banter! I could not put this book down and throughly enjoyed this couple.
It was fun read. You definitely will laugh and rooting for Charlotte and Max.
She thought that this billionaire was pot belly 60 years old. Finding out he was fit, handsome and his thirties change her life. She changed his life.
The banters, text messages and hot romance. Enjoy reading

Wow! That’s a story you don’t want to miss!!!

I’m intrigued when there are stories about fake fiancees, and this one is unexpected.
When Charlotte loses her job because of Max, she was angry with him. Then by chance, she ended up being his fictional fiancee without knowing him…
Then they met, and something sparkled between them!
At first instant attraction, then witty interaction and at last hot sex!
And there’s more surprising and sadly right!
Charlotte is BFF with Emily and Anabel and they’re funny and you’ll wish they’re your best friends too!
HEA is guaranteed, you’ll love it!

Prepare to sink your teeth into this happy, feel good storyline with a twist and once you start, you will not be able to put it down. Charlotte is a warm and caring woman who goes through a huge life change when the company she works for is bought out and leaves her jobless. Max is the sexy billionaire who has taken over Charlotte’s company and in essence gets her fired. The banter and attraction between the two is off the charts. Ms. Cooper really puts these characters through their paces and the hijinks that go on between them is rip-roarious. I cannot wait for the next book in this series!

Loved, loved this modern day love story of a pretend boyfriend who only becomes very real. The chemistry between Max and Charlotte is off the charts, witty banter, tension and fantastic sexiness these two are meant for each other. The connection that links them is a surprising story filled with both love and grief. It was nice how the author revealed this towards the very end to keep the reader guessing just a little bit. Readers not only will you be laughing but, there are some steamy scenes which will get you all hot and bothered. Enjoy.

This billionaire romance is totally unlike any other I have read before and I read a LOT. But this story was so witty throughout or perhaps better to say it had great humour, besides the +18scenes and besides the good storytelling that this author clearly manages extremely well. Overall it is a very good romance and is very deserving of the fabulous four stars I am giving it here.
