Regan and Zach were the 2 main characters and with them 2 always on an adventure trying to find out about her friends cousins grandmothers push to get him married was just hilarious. This book will keep you going and guessing the whole time.

I loved Reagan i loved how she always had her friend back, she was a funny and strong character,I felt sorry for Grant with having to even USE a decoy, F**k his grandma, im happy he got his love
Zack was a little hotty, he was loyal and smart, him an Reagan, yeah those two together was kinda hot!! I loved that this book wasn’t just a norml romance the mistery was a really good touch.
I would definitely recommend this book.!
Cute story! The 4 main characters, Grant, Reagan, Harrison and Zach were great! I loved the way they all got along and it led to a lot of humor in the story. This is my first book by this author and I really enjoyed her writing style and the flow of the story. I will definitely check out this author again in the future.
I really enjoyed this read. It took awhile to warm up to Reagan. Her first impressions were not great but slowly through the story, she grew on me.
I really loved this book! The characters were well written and completely likable! I’m not going to lie, there are a ton of characters introduced in rapid-fire, but once you get them down you fall for all of them! LOVED this storyline and the friendship between all the characters. I cannot for more from this author!
Not your “typical” romance but a really good read that will have you hooked right from the start. Zach is gay, but when he has to attend a family wedding he needs to keep up appearances that he is in a heterosexual relationship – in come Reagan his best friend who has played this role before. They haven’t been at the destination wedding for long when sparks begin to fly with 2 other guests and the groom’s best fraternity friends of old Grant and Harrison. What goes on from here can best be described as both a comedy and a mystery – Reagan wants Grant, Zach wants Harrison, a pregnant bride or is she? A grandmother who holds the purse strings, rules the family with an iron rod yet she’s clearly up to something. Thoroughly enjoyed this.
Such a great book absolutely loved it had me laughing many a times and kept me enthralled the whole time highly recommend it
S.E. Rose delivers a book that is jam packed with everything from hilarity and steam to drama and mystery with The Decoy. This entire book is like a nonstop adventure! A super fun nonstop adventure full of swoon if we’re getting specific. I was going from dying of laughter to a puddle of swoony mush then straight to “OMG! NO THEY DID NOT!” and back again from start to finish while reading this.
Reagan has been her best friend’s long term decoy when it comes to his family. For years she’s played the part of girlfriend so he doesn’t lose his inheritance, but all that begins to crumble at the wedding of her best friend’s cousin. With the immediate attraction between her and a groomsman Zach and a tangled mess of secrets that need to be unraveled there’s an endless amount of hilarious shenanigans and stolen steamy moments with these two.
This book had it all: comedy, some mystery and intrigue, vacation flings, coming out…everything! Reagan never thought that playing the decoy for her best friend would end in so much drama, handcuffs (not for her, mind you), and a fling-hoping-for-more. She helps her best friend, newfound friends, and fling figure out just WHY the wedding they’re all in a hot, humid, alcohol-laden beach paradise seems so fishy, but none of them EVER expected it all to turn out as it did!
Zach, Reagan’s fling and friend to the groom, isn’t really looking for more, but after meeting Reagan in a very awkward (for her) way, he can’t keep her off his mind. He gets lucky when he learns that she and Grant aren’t really together and swoops in for some vacation fun, which quickly turns into real feelings for a woman he never expected to find.
There is a little bit of OTT drama (and many laughs for me) in this read, but it meshes well with the whole plot and brings some serious amusement with it, so this book is definitely worth a read!
A•R•C ~ I was given The Decoy by S.E. Rose as an Advanced Readers Copy (A•R•C) from Give Me Book Promotions. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book.
5 out of 5 Stars Loved this book!
S.E. Rose has written an amazing romantic comedy with The Decoy. Reagan and Zach are perfect and so are Grant & Harrison. The four characters make the entire book so funny I was crying I was laughing so hard.
Reagan is Grant’s “Decoy” since Grant’s family would cut his inheritance if they found out he was gay, just like they did his sister Beth when she married an African-American Doctor, all thanks to Eunice or Grandma Satan as Reagan calls her. A horrible old woman who is just awful to everyone around her, she want’s complete control over her family in everything and interracial marriage and same sex relationships are things she will not tolerate she would kick you out of your rightful inheritance, one-word, WITCH with a capital B-I-T-C-H!
The story was amazing and so funny again I laughed out loud many times during my reading of this book, still have a smile on my face and it’s been hours since I finished the book.
Thank you for the pick-me up with your literary humor!
The Decoy by SE Rose is a lighthearted and fun read. It is full of scandal and clumsiness and laughter.
I just loved Reagan and Zach. They were so cute together, and I just loved Reagan’s attitude and Zach’s sweet alphaness. They were just so awesome!
I loved the story! It was so lighthearted and easy to read, and I was just so addicted! It was also so original, and funny as well. I couldn’t stop myself from laughing.
Oh and Grant and Harrison were sooo cute, and funny! I just loved them as a duo, and I loved Grant and Reagan as a duo too! I loved everybody (with the exception of a few). I just loved them all.
The Decoy is a great and funny read. If you’re in the need of a read to put a smile on your face, and laugh into oblivion, then this is the perfect book for you!
Cute, funny light read. Enjoyable story between harrison, zach, grant and reagan. Such an enjoyable book, laughed out loud
Loved reading about the adventures of Reagan, Grant, Harrison, and Zach. It’s a bit of comedy, steamy romance and a mystery.
Such a funny story with great characters Reagan, Grant, Harrison, Zach and Grandma Satan. Reagan is supposed to be a plus one at her best friends family destination wedding. Sometimes not everything goes as planned but that’s what friends are for. I enjoyed reading this. I received an ARC of this and volunteered to review it.
This is a very cute and funny book. I’ve been “decoy” for a good friend and this was spot on. This book has a closet gay guy, and his “decoy” bff, good looking frat brothers, a clueless groom, a conniving bride, snobby rich girl bridesmaids, the grandmother from hell aka Grandma Satan, hot steamy sexy scenes and unexpected love.
Really enjoyed the twists and turns of this new book by a new to me author! Great premise, wonderful meet-cute, loved Reagan and Zac’s dynamic from the start. Their chemistry was hot. Grant was the perfect comic relief on their drunken adventures. I loved the thrill of figuring out the mysteries behind the scenes of Reagan and Zac’s love story. I hope we hear more about their HEA in future books.
This book had a bit of everything. The storyline was fantastic and kept me interested and wanting more the whole way through. It had holiday flings, drama, humour and so much more. I absolutely loved this book so much. It was brilliant and I didn’t want it to end.
Highly recommended.
The Decoy is a book that needs to be picked up. If you love family drama, best friends that do anything for each other and out right laughing out loud then this one is for you. I love Grant, Harrison, Zach and Reagan so much. They all click together so well. Grant and Reagan have this amazing friendship. I love how she doesn’t mind so much stepping in and playing the decoy when he needs her for family events. The chemistry between Grant and Harrison is amazing. My heart was so happy for them. It was even filled with more love when it came down to Zach and Reagan. They are so hot together. Not only do you find yourself fanning yourself throughout this read but you will be laughing out loud. When these four are together you are going to have a good time. You really must read this to find out all the family drama that unfolds. A perfect one click read for any day ending in y.
