How did you two meet?
The quintessential question asked to every couple. And the answer is usually some bubbly, lovey dovey tale of being struck in the bum by Cupid’s arrow.
My meet cute (well not so meet cute) is slightly different. I was trolling a wealthy neighborhood in Beverly Hills, searching for someone to take me as their bride, you know, to make my arch nemesis jealous who consequently just fired me.
He was stomping around the block like some sort of gorgeous ogre, mumbling about a business deal gone wrong and attempting to finagle his way out of it.
And that’s when we bumped into each other.
There were no sparks.
Not even a hint of blossoming love.
But next thing I knew, I was scarfing down free chips and guac, listening to this man lay out all of his problems which led to his big ask . . . he wanted me to be his Vivian Ward, you know, from Pretty Woman--minus the frisky behavior.
We’re talking about living in a mansion, intimate double dates, and pretending we were head over heels in love . . . and engaged. Can you imagine?
The absolute audacity.
But people do crazy things when they’re desperate. And I reeked of desperation. So, I struck up a deal.
My one big mistake, though . . . big . . . HUGE? I accidentally fell for the incomparable Huxley Cane.

My Review
I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review.
I have to admit that it took me a bit to get into this book. I found Lottie to be a bit annoying and Huxley was way too uptight and kind of mean in the beginning. There was a lot of animosity between the two of them and even though I usually love banter between characters, this felt different for some reason. BUT once Lottie and Huxley got past that and were on the same page, this book improved for me. Huxley needed to loosen up and Lottie was the perfect person to help him do that. I loved their playfulness and they had wonderful chemistry.
I love the fake fiancé trope because it has the potential to be a bit unpredictable. Especially when the two people don't really know each other, which is the case with Lottie and Huxley. Through out this book they end up having to do some things that not only made me laugh, but made me laugh so hard I had tears in my eyes. Meghan definitely brings her signature humor in this book, so if you are a fan, you'll enjoy this one.
