If you're in need of a break from your heavier romance or YA reads, or want something quick that you can read in one or two sittings, consider picking up Temporarily Yours.Kayla and Cooper met at an airport. They were both heading to North Carolina--he to meet his boss and leave the country for his new job, and she was on her way to her younger sister's wedding. Kayla and Cooper hit it off and, to help Kayla get over her fear of flying, had a steamy encounter in the plane. Kayla made up a fake boyfriend to get her family off her back about her being still single and when Cooper found out, he volunteer to be her stand-in boyfriend... well, a fake-boyfriend-with-benefits (these two cannot keep their hands off each other!). It was perfect for Kayla and Cooper, who were both commitment-phobes. But then real emotions start to get in the way...Temporarily Yours has a really fun premise. Cooper and Kayla but had their hang-up but they were likable characters. I liked Kayla's quirk of saying random stats (she's an actuary). However, I thought their voices weren't very distinctive. The novel was in third-person and it went back and forth between Cooper and Kayla but there were a couple of times where I had to remind myself who I'm seeing through the eyes of. The dialogue (especially during their big argument) and writing in general got awkward at times too. It just didn't flow as naturally as in other Brazen titles I've read.Overall, though, Temporarily Yours was a fun, quick read--a good reading funk breaker. There were a lot of smexy, steamy scenes, just what you'd expect from a Brazen title, that will warm up you on a cold day.
