>-< >–< >–< >–< >–<>–< >–< >–< >–< >–< >–< >–< >–< I voluntarily received a Courtesy Copy of this book from the author and am choosing to leave a review. >–< >–< >–< >–< >–<>–< >–< >–< >–< >–< >–< >–< >–< What I liked/Didn’t Like: I love it when the characters in a book are so well written they feel like they are right next to you telling you their story. Very well written book with an awesome storyline.
I love the book starting off mysteriously, not knowing where it was going was somewhat refreshing. Having a poor girl having to go into a pawn shop in order to depart herself from something so precious just so that she may survive is something so true, but unspoken half the time. I was a bit confused as I thought that Felicity has a relative needing her help, but then throughout the story, it turns out it only involves her. Liam is the hero of the story of course and he makes sure to buy the precious gem in order to get her to agree to his plan that involves her wearing an expensive necklace to a gala in order to catch a jewelry thief. The story may start off this way but does take some turns throughout the book. I would have preferred an extended end to this story, but it does end happily for both Liam and Felicity.
A fantastic interesting story that is well written and very entertaining. It is a suspenseful and intriguing story that is a rollercoaster ride of emotions with a bit of mystery, danger, and strong sexual attraction. Feliecity desperately sells her grandmothers antigue ring and Liam is tracking jewel thieves. When meeting at a pawn shop a agreement is made that he will give her the ring back if she will be his date at a gala and wear a certain necklace. With a strong connection and chemistry going to the gala where things don’t go as planned I was on the edge of my seat page after page till last one is turned. I voluntarily reviewed this ARC.
This felt like a Cinderella’ish story in that it had an unaware female, a dashing male, with some bad guys to add to the mix. The story moves along fluidly and reads very quickly. The characterizations of all involved were descriptive enough to get a good feel of each character. There was an excellent camaraderie between the main female character and her best friend. This reader can see another book on the horizon about the best friend. She was a very interesting character. All-in-all, a charming read. Good entertainment.

ONE SIZZLING HOT ADVENTURE!!!
Wow! Holy moly! Talk about going up in smoke. Whoa baby! This is one exciting, action packed, fast paced, hard hitting, nailbiting, page turning bombshell that’s as riveting as it is captivating. All the twists and turns, unexpected circumstances and unpredictable surprises around every corner make for one thrilling experience. A whirlwind of emotions and events increase the drama, tension, mystery, danger and suspense throughout as the plot thickens. The two main characters chemistry is white hot, off the charts, explosive as it heats up to combustible. The characters and scenes are written with such realism it really pulls this bad boy together beautifully. Lexi did a remarkable job bringing this read to life flawlessly. Fantastic job Lexi, thanks for sharing this bad boy with us.
Seriously well written! H hires h to be his fake gf for 1 night and wear a very expensive necklace. He never thought that he was putting her in danger, but he should have. Once it is brought to his attention he whisks her away to his mansion and keeps her there in hope of keeping her safe. but he couldn’t keep her safe from himself or his extreme distaste for commitment. His prior heartbreak has left him jaded. This was a great read that kept me turning pages cover to cover in one sitting.

Felicity is down on her luck. She finds herself at a pawn shop to pawn the only thing that means anything to her. Liam a billionaire who is inside that same pawn to track who is stealing from his jewelry business. Things begin to change when Liam makes her an offer she can’t refuse. This book is fun, sexy, and all together shocking.
This is a very good book. The story of the fake girlfriend to a real girlfriend was romantic but the meat of the story was about what was going on in between. I received an Advanced Readers Copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I loved the story and the thrill of the story. It has a lot of twists and turns with a lot of suspense. It is unique and a different story line than most. It is extremely well written and characters are beautifully developed. I loved how their personalities synced together. The support characters were a hoot that I think I smell a story that I would love to read about. Felicity is this sweet and caring young lady that tends to draw you in. Liam is this I want to be tough but have a really big heart. They were great together and the story is most definitely worth reading. I voluntarily review an advanced reader copy of this book.

Liam meets Felicity outside of a pawn shop when he returns her grandmothers ring that she had just pawned. He propositions her to be his date for hire (payment is return if the ring) for a special event for the evening. She is, of course, skeptical but is grateful for the return of the ring and agrees. Plus there is instant attraction on both parts.
Liam doesn’t provide all of the details of why he needs a date for the evening leaving Felicity exposed to a great danger that she is unaware of. This causes Liam to go into super protector mode.
This sets the scene for the story, but there is so much more. This story has romance and some suspense that keeps you wondering until the end of the book.
This one reminded me of the ‘Stonecutters’ series by the same author. I’ve reviewed a few other books in the ‘Real’ series and this one is my favorite, so far!
