Publisher's summary

It's only pretend...

And it's only three months.

I'm in the midst of scrawling "I quit!" onto his fancy cardstock letterhead when my boss corners me. He needs a favor, he says. And then he asks how well I can act...

Hudson Rutherford needs a fiancée.

With his old-moneyed parents forcing him to marry some bratty hotel heiress and his hedonistic, playboy lifestyle at stake, the only way to get them to back off is to make them think he's truly, madly, deeply in love...with me - his third personal assistant this year.

But I can hardly stand working for him as it is.

Hudson is crazy hot and well-aware. He's arrogant, spoiled, and silver-spooned. He checks me out when he thinks I'm not looking, and his life is a revolving door of beautiful women. Plus, he can't even pronounce my name correctly - how's he going to convince his family he's in love with me?!

I'm seconds from giving him a resounding "no" when he flashes his signature dimpled smirk and gives me a number that happens to contain a whole mess of zeroes...

On second thought, I think I can swallow my pride.

But, oh baby, there's one thing I haven't told him, one teensy-tiny thing that could make this just a hair complicated....

Here's hoping this entire thing doesn't explode in our faces.

Cute Light Entertaining

I am struggling with this one. The story is so cute and funny. The female narrator is great, but the guy? Omg, I just can’t. The character is described as so sexy, then the voice of the narrator sounds like the kid in the front row of class who raises his hand and corrects the teacher with “ACH-SHUally...” It is the most unsexy, nerdy voice ever. Plus it is quite feminine. It’s Sheldon Cooper which makes it hard to picture anyone but Sheldon Cooper.
When the female narrator does the guy voice he sounds, well, like a sexy man. But the male narrator makes it really difficult for me to get into this story.

The story itself is very charming. And maybe if I thought Sheldon Cooper was hot I could get into the narration.

EXCELLENT BOOK, WELL WRITTEN

The book was well written. Its story was unique and very believable. At the end of the book we are totally in love with both Characters. Maribel changes Hudson and brings the good side of him out....no bad characters only good ppl. I loved the ending alot. This book will go down as one of my favorites.

Unusual Family

Ahhh it was ok? As an avid reader of romance I found this one a bit lacking and I had hoped there wasn't such a happy ending. I know that's sounds awful. But I think a family should only have one mom and one dad. You will see if you listen to it.

The Perfect Illusion

Fun book to read, narration was good and writing just as much. It is one of those books that gives you a break from heavy reading.

Beautifully unexpected

This book was not what I expected, and that’s not a bad thing; it was beautifully unexpected. I enjoyed this story.

Wonderful and fun

This story was sweet and sexy. The characters real and full bodied. You feel the pain and happiness of all of them, even the ones you want to hate. Great summer or weekend read.
