When he needs a date for a high society function, he looks no further than the beach yoga instructor his dog has led him to … beach yoga instructor his dog has led him to several times.

A lovely fake engagement romance. I don’t read blurbs for Johnson’s books because I know I’ll love them all. So, this was unexpected in the best way. I loved all the different aspects.
I received a complimentary copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
Tawny and Tyler do things out of order. After months of trying to not let the other know they had noticed them, Tyler finally gets desperate enough to ask her out. Things quickly spiral out of their control and they find themselves engaged. Elana Johnson is the best at making the implausible plausible and fun to read. I enjoyed this book.
When Tawny sees her ex she panics and blurts out the first thing she thinks, and introduces Tyler as her fiance. Loved how he just went with it. They both had past issues they needed to work through and get past preconceived ideas. It turned a little rocky but in the end it was amazing. Really liked how they handled the ex and the reporter. Pretty smart.
Nothing is more aggravating than have a character in the story when One part of the romantic couple says “I love you” and the other part of the couple goes all crazy because of some stupid rule they gave themself and almost ruins everything! I dislike stupid women characters like that! I will not read this author anymore.
Further to the Billionaire Beach Club Romance series, Tyler Rigby has been nicknamed The Bashful Billionaire by the ladies on the island. After having made a fortune, his only desire is to sink into oblivion and avoid all references to his previous life. For the most part he is successful, until he finds it necessary to have a date for an upcoming charity event. For some time, Tawny has been the prime attraction for both Tyler and his dog Lazy Bones, but he has never worked up the courage to speak to her. Finally, allowing Lazy Bones to take the lead, Tyler asks Tawny to be his date – no strings attached. Unfortunately, at the event, Tawny runs into the man she least wants to see, and springs a surprise engagement on Tyler – not that he’s complaining. As the engagement spins out of control and becomes public knowledge, both Tyler and Tawny realise that they are attracted to one another, and the situation becomes more and more complicated. There was a certain amount of tension in this book, with an ex-boyfriend, a mother putting her oar into the works, and people with very little to do other than gossip. The story is well written, clean and can be read in an evening. Characters from previous books in this series appeared in this one too, although it is a stand-alone with a happy ending. I received a copy of this book for free as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.
