It’s a simple business deal until things get personal.
I’m one of Toronto’s most eligible bachelors and CEO of
Rothwell Enterprises. I wear success like a well-tailored suit, but that
doesn’t mean I’m not at the mercy of others.
My heavily guarded trust fund is all I need to take my
business to new heights. But to get my hands on that money, I have only two
options: wait till I’m forty or get married.
With my fortieth birthday still years away, getting married
is the best short-term option. And when a woman walks into my office with a
problem of her own, I see a golden opportunity for both of us to get what we
want.
She needs a lawyer and I need a wife. My proposition? She
pretends to be my love interest and I’ll make her legal problem go away. It’s a
simple win-win situation.
If we play this right, nothing can go wrong…
At least, that’s what I thought.
My Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
West is one of my must-read authors, so I was eager to get my hands on this story, and she definitely delivered! Each new book is better than the last, and I know my romantic heart is in talented, well-qualified hands when I read a West novel.
Paige Hayes has family she's close to and a job she enjoys, but her living situation, not so much. When she finds her creepy landlord in her apartment without her permission, she mentions it to her brother who puts her in touch with a local guy who owes him a favor and can help Paige.
Zach Rothwell is far beyond just some ‘local guy’ as the heir and CEO of Rothwell Enterprises. While he should be running the show completely by now, his grandmother is withholding the trust fund he needs to diversify the company until Zach ‘settles down’. When Paige Hayes comes to him for help with her landlord problem, Zach realizes she may be just the girl to help him out. He proposes a business only, fake dating arrangement to Paige and she reluctantly agrees.
This is the point where my heart lets out a happy little “squee!” and I settle in for a delightfully entertaining ride. Because we all know the dating will turn real as feelings emerge, and the lies and scheming are bound to come back to haunt them. But there's still an issue of trust because, with both of them lying to everyone in their lives, how can they each know when the other is telling the truth?
West has a talent for bringing her characters to life, so that I feel like I’m experiencing the story as a close friend of the characters. Zach and Paige are both life-like and multi-layered with winning, authentic personalities that enchanted me from the first page. Their story is humorous, engaging and hot, their chemistry is undeniable, and there's just enough angst to keep you turning the pages late into the night.
Reading this book was easier than listening to audio because it practically read itself. I couldn’t get enough of this story and the characters and read it straight through. I wasn’t nearly ready to turn loose of these two, which is a good thing because they'll always own a piece of my heart. Run to the 1-Click and get your copy right away. Don’t even bother trying to guard your heart, because Zach and Paige will effortlessly own it.
