Rating: 4 out of 5

“Whatever happens is short-term. I think we can both handle that.”–KeganKegan Owens told a teeny tiny white lie to get her father’s lackey Brett off her back and out-of-town. Luckily, playboy Shane Sullivan played along, pretending to be her boyfriend. To their surprise, Brett doesn’t leave town, and Kegan and Shane are stuck in a ruse. Except, it doesn’t feel like they’re pretending anymore…This was a quick and fun read with such a sweet romance! I love that the little white lie brought Kegan and Shane together since otherwise, they were resisting the attraction between them. They both have reasons for not wanting to jump into a relationship, so it was great reading about them facing those fears and outside forces to be together!I love that Kegan decided to leave her father’s controlling ways and branch off on her own (I still can’t believe what a jerk he was at one point in the book). I love her views on marriage, and I can’t believe Brett and her father were pushing her so hard to be in essentially an arranged marriage! Shane was such a trooper to play along with Kegan, and I loved that he realized being a boyfriend–even pretend!–wasn’t as hard as he thought it would be! I especially liked that even though he’s a playboy, he was still nervous around her at the start before the ruse, because he really liked her. On a side note, I can’t believe his boss would be one of the obstacles in their way–grr…aren’t there laws about that?Overall, I enjoyed the book, especially how they ended up being there for each other despite the fact that they started off being in a pretend relationship. Aside from sexual tension, the love-making scenes are fade-to-black so I would consider this having a light to medium heat level. If you like quick feel-good romance reads, check this one out! This is a 4 out of 5 for me!(Originally published on my blog; I received an ARC in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.)
