Summary

Emmett Hill is the perfect gentleman - at least, that's what his PR team wants the world to think.

Tall, handsome, and wickedly charming, Emmett is in the midst of a career comeback, having landed the role of a villain in a popular TV show. The only problem is, Emmett has come a long way from the "nice guy" characters he used to play and his old squeaky clean image is quickly being tarnished by bar fights, womanizing, and bad-boy behavior. Considering he's two years shy of 40, it's an act he needs to drop. And fast.

Enter Alyssa Martin.

At 28, Alyssa is tired and ready for a change. Her job as office manager has grown stagnant and unfulfilling, while she's become continuously frustrated with Vancouver's lackluster dating scene, always searching for Mr. Right in a city of Mr. Wrongs.

When Emmett and Alyssa's paths cross at a mutual friend's wedding, their chemistry is off-the-charts hot, culminating in a steamy one-night stand. What neither expected was for the media to catch wind of their coupling - and run with it.

Contains mature themes.

Size 10 isn't fat. The 'I'm not thin therefore I'm fat and don't understand why the hot guy wants me' plot device is exhausting.
Other than that, this is a fun fake relationship romance.
Fake relationship is one of my favourite tropes.
Especially when one-half of the couple is famous.
I didn't really get a strong emotional connection between these two.
The spicy scenes were well-written, and moved the plot along nicely. But I didn't connect with Alyssa as much as I did Emmett. It felt like they were each holding back.
I wish there'd been more lead-up to the conflict.
I did enjoy this. It was funny and serious and spicy.

Funny and serious and spicy.
