I’m not the most experienced with men, but I know a player when I see one—and I know the best thing to do is to stay away. But this guy is relentless. He’s also rich and not afraid to show me exactly how rich he is. Handsome as hell? Yup, he’s got that too and is totally aware of it. I’m not the type of girl someone like this chases after, which is why all his attention has me worried. I’d just … attention has me worried.
I’d just ignore him if I could, but he won’t stop until I go out with him.
At least he said he’ll settle for a pretend date.
So, I’ll give in just this once. If it’s not real and I’m just the pretend girlfriend he says he needs for now.
But how far does he want this pretend game to go?
The touches aren’t real, the kisses aren’t real, and how they make me feel can’t be real.
If we cross this line together now, there’s no way of knowing how real things could get.

OH MY TWINKLING STARS!!!
I love Lexi’s style of writing. She’s not the follower type, she’s the leader. She definitely has a way with words. She can make you or break you with just a few. This is one of those OHN! Reads that hooks you from the start and reels you in for the duration. I loved the characters. How they interacted. The back and forth banter and how the main male didn’t give up. The chemistry is white hot and explosive. The scenes were so realistic they were an amazing backdrop for this little bad boy. Throw in some twists and turns with a few unexpected surprises and you have one suspense filled, rocky road, deep feelings and we’ll even top it off with an HEA. Yep, you have your share of drama, heartache, self doubt and then they build that bridge and walk it together. Lexi makes everything she does seem effortless and smooth flowing without a blip on the radar. Incredible job Lexi, thanks for sharing this awesome read with us.
I enjoyed this easy to read, fun and fast steamy romance between Betty and Zach. Even though I felt a lot of the story was too unrealistic to begin to believe it’d happen in real life, that’s okay b/c the whole point of reading these books is to escape from reality in my opinion. Lexi didn’t disappoint with this one and I really loved how Betty didn’t fall all over Zach like every other female he’s known has. I received a free ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This book was fantastic and very entertaining. Sensual and extremely intriguing. Spicy hot and intriguing. A must read. I have read a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving my review.
I received an ARC from Ms. Aurora, and I am writing my honest review. Betty hasn’t had an easy life. Born to parents who didn’t want her and working in a small diner to pay for her education, Betty keeps her head up and keeps striving to better herself. When Zach comes in to her diner, she catches his attention because of the way that she holds herself and treats him. Zach comes from a very wealthy family, and he has always had his way. When the sassy Betty doesn’t fall at his feet and fawn over him, his interest has peaked, and he wants to get to know Betty more. When Betty is fired from her job and Zach has his father and a crazy wealthy female forcing him to become engages, will Betty and Zach work together to better both of their lives and help rid the negativity and pressure that they are getting from everyone or will they succumb to the pressure and follow what has been laid out for their futures? Ms. Aurora weaves a tale of love and loss as well as wealthy and poor. She takes you on an adventure where the girl next door Betty catches the eye and interest of the playboy Zach. There were twists and turns, and the plot will keep you guessing who will complicate things. This was a great quick read, and it does not end in a cliffhanger. I highly recommend this book. Thank you Ms. Aurora for allowing me to read your story.
What starts as pretense evolves into a genuine romance. Betty has her feet firmly planted on the ground. She’s a hard working waitress in a diner. With a desire to improve her lot in life. She sure doesn’t have time for good looking wealthy Zach. With charm and a bit of artifice Zach sees a way to get not only what he wants, but what he needs. The couple had chemistry in this pleasing take on a modern day fairytale.
Betty and Zach. I loved it.!! The characters, Betty and Zach and the story development exceeded what many similar books lack. In addition to liking the characters ,The relationship grows in a much more realistic way. The ending was predictable but well written I’ve read other books by this author, but I think this is the best one yet!
For all the fuss and furor that occurred at the beginning of this story, this turned out to be a really sweet romance. The main female character is a strong, capable woman who has endured tough times. The main male character is also a very strong and capable man who too has faced tough times. These two commence their relationship in an unusual way but they make their relationship work nonetheless. Delightful! Emotes happy feelings! 🙂
I received an advance review copy of this novel and I am leaving an honest review.
I loved this book!! The beginning of the book grabbed you and had you instantly wondering what would happen with Betty! Zach has issues of his own, but is immediately taken with Betty when he visits the diner!!
Zach has a hand in getting Betty fired and then tries to help her! Then the real fun begins!!!! Great Read!!
An awesome book. Extremely entertaining, captivating, and interesting read. I could not put it down. Wonderfully written with strong characters. I want to read more from this author. I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
I didn’t know what to expect when I received an ARC of this book, but I was hoping i would enjoy it. I loved it! The characters are great, though she is a bit over the top for my taste, but together i think they work well. he does what he needs to in order to drag her out of her comfort zone, trying to gain her trust, and she starts to without even realizing that she’s doing so. It is a great read!
Usually in control and well self- contained, Betty has to hold on as this adventure takes her places she never dreamed she’d go! Zach is no Prince Charming and Betty is too level-headed to play Cinderella, but these two have something that spirals out of control and makes them better together! I voluntarily reviewed an ARC and am leaving my honest opinion.
Betty lived a hard life and working at the diner was no difference. She was surrounded by workers who had no love lost when it came to Betty and treated her miserably. Her life changed in big ways when Zach chose to grace the counters of the diner. His attraction to her set into motion life altering changes that affected not only her but Zach as well. I voluntarily agreed to receive an ARC of this book for an honest review.
