Whoa... whoa... whoa!!!!! Can I say I am obsessed with this story???? I read Never Say Never in one sitting... I skipped food, water, neglected my kids... well not really, but you know what I mean ;) ... AH-MAY-ZING!!!!!Chloe has had to put all of her dreams on hold to care for her mother who has been diagnosed with dementia. She has been through a nightmare secret relationship with a movie star in LA, and lost her dream job as a make-up artist on a movie set. She is now working at a coffee shop and tying to make ends meet to give her mother the care she needs for however long she has left. Chloe has hardened her heart towards men... especially stars... and has directed all of her attention and efforts to getting back into the make-up artistry business. Little does she know that a "pretend" date is about to change all of her ideas and any judgements she has made.Sander Chase is a HOT former boy band lead singer, and current judge on a talent show. His girlfriend left him for his band mate and friend a few years ago, and he now has to prove that he harbors no ill feelings towards them. His manager is wanting to reunite the band, and part of his requirements is for Sander to attend his former best friend and former girlfriend's engagement party. Sander has decided he MUST take a date in order to survive this night. Problem is Sander has absolutely no time for a relationship or room for a woman in his life. He decides he will get a pretend girlfriend, one with the same views on relationships. He will take her to the party... prove he is over his ex... bada- bing, bada-boom... band is back, he is making music again, and his mission is accomplished. Chloe is the perfect candidate. She acts as if she doesn't even know who he is, could care less if he is a star, and turns him down. WHAT?!?!?! Sander decides Chloe must be the one he plays girlfriend/boyfriend with and makes an offer he knows she will not and cannot refuse.Chloe of course accepts Sander's offer and they begin their fake "relationship". Problem is Chloe begins to see that Sander is not like her jack ass ex and has not let stardom go to his head. She begins to feel her heart soften and her hormones start to take over her thoughts. Can she do this? Can she pretend that they are lovers and not lose her heart? Is Sander feeling the same way or is this all a game of pretend for him? I literally devoured this story. I was hoping and praying that Chloe and Sander both would lose their hearts to each other and fall in "real" love. I could not put this book down without finding out the answers to all of my burning questions!! I give Never Say Never 5 stars on the knock my socks off scale! This is a MUST read!! Kudos to Aimee Duffy for her brilliant story and her web of emotions that sucked me in!
