Breaking News: Rugby's bad boy marries his best friend's little sister

If Renn Brewer would've asked me to marry him, I would've said no.

Why?

One, his reputation precedes him. His name is in the headlines at least once a month. Two, he's not just my brother's best friend. They're teammates. And three, I'm in my self-care era.

Unfortunately, a version of me equates self-care with bad choices.

The cocktail in my hand—similar to the one that got me into this situation—is the prettiest shade of pink. It's almost the same color as the giant rock on my left hand. And instead of discussing an annulment, I'm considering a 90-day marriage of convenience to the man I accidentally married in Las Vegas.

Renn didn't propose marriage. But he does deliver a proposal I might be unable to turn down.
USA Today and Amazon Charts Bestselling author Adriana Locke delivers a "spicy & sweet!" forbidden sports romance with a marriage of convenience that will make you swoon!

*Audio Review*
What happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas. Especially when you’re a famous pro rugby player with a bad boy reputation who wakes up covered in melted chocolate and married to your best friends sister and can’t remember how you got there..

There was literally not one thing I didn’t like about this book… well with the exception of Renn's father who is lower then pond scum and deserved to be drop kicked In the nether region but I digress…Blakley and Renn were pure gold. They had such a genuine affection for one another underneath all the flirty witty banter. I adored that Renn was more concerned with Blakely’s reputation and how everything would affect her over himself. I also liked that despite her sometimes overly emotional state, Blakely really looked out for her best interest, too. She had been through a lot, and though there was not a selfish bone in her body, she knew what she wanted and didn’t want that derailed in any way.

Avery Caris and John Lane were the outstanding narrators on this book. I enjoyed this pairing for these characters, while there was a lot of light hearted whit, fun and even funny moments during this story there was also plenty of emotion and heart and I think they did a wonderful job bringing all of that to life in a way that conveyed the growth of the characters without losing the heart of their personalities. Awesome job to both!

This is a story well written and well told. There were plenty of scorching hot spice there were laughs and there were tears and so many swoons.. I really enjoyed all the characters, Elle and Brock and Renn’s siblings were awesome. It was just an overall enjoyable listen that I most definitely would recommend

The author wrote these characters so that you felt like you personally knew them. She described him so well that as you thought about the characters as you read the book you could see what they look like and their mannerisms. I just love the way this family Family and Family and sister who lost their mother So closely knit knit together In defense of each of each other. Then you get the rugby player And his family with a dad worse than worst there's a surprise that the ending of the book which just actually made my night. You got a read this book I tell you it's really good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Accidental Las Vegas Marriage to Your Best Friend's Little Sister
Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2023
I absolutely loved The Proposal by Adriana Locke; it is an incredible accidental marriage - fake relationship love story. It is supposed to be a standalone book, but I am hoping that Adriana Locke writes a series for the Brewer siblings. Adriana Locke continues to prove that she is an amazing storyteller and continues to be one of my favorite authors to read. It was impossible to put The Proposal down and I loved every moment on every page. Who does not love hot sexy men, strong females, loving families, and friends, who always support one another? I really enjoy how the book is told in the first person from the perspective of the main characters. I love getting the insight and feelings from the different characters. I love how Adriana Locke always manages to create the "perfect" heroine, who is a strong, sassy woman on her own, to balance out the sexy, swoon worthy man. Adriana Locke continues to deliver all that and so much more. The Proposal is an accidental marriage - fake relationship love story and is filled with heartbreaking and heartwarming moments. The Proposal is the story of Renn Brewer, the bad boy of rugby and his best friend, Brock’s little sister, Blakely Evans, recently promoted as the new artist assistant at Mason Music Label. Renn recently signed a contract with the Tennessee Royals, and they made him sign a good boy clause. Blakely and her best friend and her brother’s girlfriend, Ella St. James head to Las Vegas to celebrate Blakely’s thirtieth birthday. Renn and Brock surprise them in Vegas to celebrate Blakely’s birthday. Ella and Brock return to the hotel room, and Blakely and Renn continue partying and wake up in bed together the following morning only to discover that they got married. Blakely agrees to continue her fake relationship with Renn for ninety days because of his good boy clause. I love the contract that they draw up on their way to their honeymoon. Conversation between Blakely and Renn flows so easily, especially their playful banter. I love how Blakely is always asking about Renn’s brother, Tate. I love that both Blakely and Renn share secrets with one another that they have not shared with anyone before, the secrets that both Blakely and Renn share about their families and discuss their plans for the future Blakely suffers from insecurities because of her upbringing and is hoping to find someone who will love her and is looking for a forever love and someone to start a family with. Renn on the other hand is not looking for a relationship. I love the chemistry between Blakely and Renn. As Blakely and Renn spend time together on their honeymoon, things quickly change between them, neither one is willing to admit their true feelings for one another. Some of their conversations between Blakely and Renn are truly heartbreaking. I love the surprise birthday gift that Renn had delivered and gave to Blakely. A heart-breaking plot twist occurs at Brewer home, which changes everything between Renn and Renn. I love the heart-to-heart conversation that Blakely and Renn have with Renn’s mother, Rory, especially the heart-to-heart conversation that Renn has with his mother following his breakup with Blakely. I love everything that Renn does to get back together with Blakely. I loved that The Proposal is more than just a romance, there are issues that both Blakely and Renn are facing that need to be resolved. I love how the storylines get so beautifully resolved. I love how the epilogue is the perfect ending to their love story. The Proposal is filled with poignant and bittersweet moments as well as plot twists that I have come to love and expect in an Adriana Locke love story. I love the characters and the family dynamic in The Proposal, the characters feel like family and friends. I enjoyed all the interactions between the Brewer siblings, it feels like real family love and makes me laugh at their teasing. I loved all the characters in The Proposal, and I am hoping that there will be more books with the Brewer siblings. Loved seeing Foxx Carmichael and loved that Blakely called him “Foxxy.” Who does not love family and friends that always have each other’s backs? I thoroughly enjoyed The Proposal, who does not love an accidental marriage - fake relationship love story. Highly recommend this incredible love story and am so hoping for other books in the series.

Man, oh man, did I love the banter between these two main characters. Their relationship and the quirkiness and the way that they could just joke with each other and push each other just made you enjoy the book more.

4.0 out of 5 stars I just love Adriana’s books????
Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2024
Adriana’s books are always filled with the perfect combination for a romance. Humor, swoon, spice, protective mmc’s… it’s the right amount of everything I love!

I adored Renn and Blakely so much. I knew Renn was a goner for Blakely from the first chapter. ☺️
This man was so protective and sweet to Blakely, considering the situation they found themselves in ????
He fought for her tooth and nail though, and I was rooting for them throughout the conflict at the end. I actually loved how this ended for them. I think it was done perfectly for them. ????

I’m excited for other books to come from the Brewer family! Can’t wait!

I listened to the audiobook, and John and Avery did a really good job of narrating. Made me love the book even more.

Highly recommend this book if you love accidental marriage of convenience romances! ????
