This hot new romance was selected as an Amazon First Reads book for January which means Prime members were able to read this one early since it’s not out until February 1st. A TON of people took advantage of it and also shared their reviews online, which put this book #1 on the charts for contempo romances! I cannot WAIT to read this one, I am taking it with me when I go on vacation to Ohio in a couple of weeks. I love love and this book has a Valentines Day read written all over it! So if you are looking for something romantic to read for Valentines Day, this book needs to be at the top of your list!
So what caught my eye about this one? I loved the promise of a workplace romance that had a little bit of a fake dating angle. I also loved the premise of it being set at a makeup/cosmetic company with the main character being a bit of a nerd. I thought it sounded like an intriguing combo and was super excited to check it out. The author, Sariah Wilson, is a new to me author but I do know that Wilson has written several other well received romances.
Many readers call Wilson’s books ‘binge-able’ and I think this would be one that I could read quickly and in one sitting. Not to mention fell happy and content when it’s over. I love romances because they always end with a happily ever after and this book promises just that. I cannot wait to read it and see hot Anna and Marco come together and how the fake dating plot line goes. If you are a fan of contempo romances this is a hot new release that you should definitely get behind!
Summary
How can Anna Ellis, a geeky, brilliant, and hopelessly smitten cosmetic chemist possibly win over Craig Kimball, the man of her dreams—who also happens to be her boss? The answer is Craig’s empathetic (and handsome) CEO half brother, Marco. The makeup mogul knows Craig for the ridiculously competitive rival he is. Whatever Marco has, Craig wants. That can be Anna, if she’s game to play. All Anna and Marco have to do is pretend they’re falling in love and let the rumors begin. If the experiment in attraction works, a jealous Craig will swoop in and give Anna her happily ever after—if it weren’t for one hitch in the plan. There’s more to Marco than meets the eye. With every fake date, Anna’s feelings are starting to become dizzyingly real. (summary from Goodreads)
