About this item



Brook

I might be down on my luck, but I’m determined to open the best all-inclusive wedding venue in the U.S. But first, I have to scope out the competition. The only problem is I need a fake fiance to pull it off. Even worse, the only man available to do the job is the annoying handsome Landry Hendricks. Because of course I need the help of the one man in town who hates me.

Landry

Oh, I only wish I hated Brook. Instead, I’ve been head over heels for Brook since the first time I rescued her. And the second. This girl has some seriously bad luck. But how can a gruff, loner like me ever hope to win the heart of a smart, sassy city girl like Brook? By offering her a bargain she can’t refuse… and making her think it’s all her idea, that’s how.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious and sweet
Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2024
I loved this book so much. It was hilarious, sweet and steamy. The banter between these two characters was perfect. I laughed out loud so many times and could not quit turning the pages. I may or may not have narrowly missed covering my kindle in Gatorade during a ridiculous snort laugh at one point. But let’s just keep that between us. Don’t miss this sassy, blurts whatever is in her head woman and her sweet, flirty, dirty talking man.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reverse Grump/Sunshine
Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2024
I love a good Grumpy/sunshine trope, especially when the grump only loses his grumpiness around Miss Sunshine. Everyone else is SOL. Hehe.

So why not a Reverse G/S romance? To be fair, Landry, our sunshiny mountain man, has a sarcastic streak a mile long but he’s equal opportunity sarcastic with everyone. He also comes with a wicked sense of humor. Landry was quite refreshing. He is laid-back, self deprecating and doesn’t give himself enough credit for his accomplishments.

Brook is a Type A grump. She’s lost everything she worked for in a fire but she is determined to succeed with a new career with her sister in Saddle Creek. But first she meets Landry while she’s stuck in a ditch and then again when she slips in her heels. Now she is really grumpy, which just turns Landry on!

All this to say that Landry and Brook end up together in a Fake Dating, Forced Proximity, One Bed predicament. That they get out of, with pleasure, $exy times, and cake! YUM!

I received a complimentary copy of this book and and I purchased a copy. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me!

4.0 out of 5 stars A short novella with tons of humor..
Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2024
I literally laughed out loud at this (a little too short) story, almost from beginning to end.

Loved Laundry and Brooklyn both when they were sparing & when they weren’t..

I rated this story a 5 because it was hot, hot, HOT! But it was also sweet and funny. A real trifecta!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and spicy
Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2024
Both are very likable, she's prickly and he's a Charming flirt. The romance is really sweet and comes together quickly. Sex is hot, well described and spicy. The story is fast moving and a whole lot of fun. Really enjoyed it will definitely reread it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious characters
Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2024
Couldn't stop myself from laughing through this one. From the heroine that can't stop talking to herself to the hero who sees all. Just when she thinks she got by with something, he lets her know she didn't. Their future is bright and full of laughter. Doesn't get any better than that!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Spectacular
Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2024
Kat Baxter never dissapoints! The plot, the banter, the hoty-hoty, swooony hero for the beautiful heroine. You have to be careful, so that book does not go down because of all that hotness. You will laugh and smile, and definitely feel a little (lot) bothered from all that sassiness and sexiness ;-)

3.0 out of 5 stars Steamy quicky
Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2024
I'm a Kat Baxter fan. This one was middle of the road for me. I didn't understand the animosity of the MFC towards the MMC and had a harder time with her sudden change of heart. Over all it was worth the quick read and a nice break from my stressful weekend.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
