Tease by Melanie Harlow
5.0

Melanie Harlow can do no wrong and this book is no exception. I asbolutely this new additon to the Cloverleigh Farms series. Felicity and Hutton have been friends since they were teenagers, but they mutally decide to go along with a "fake marriage" scenario until it becomes very real. Hutton is a hot billionaire, and I thought he would be cocky and confident and egotistical. He was, in fact, quite the opposite! I LOVED this about him and how Melanie Harlow decided to write him differently than any other billionaire I've read. He was shy and neurotic, and borderline OCD, always worrying about every little thing. His extreme social anxiety got in the way of things, but Felicity had always been the one person to really get him, flaws and all. Felicity has her own issues as well; she has such bad anxiety about certain situations that she will literally cut her own hair to cope. They were quite the pair together, and no one can deny they had some seriously sizzling chemistry. I just loved their friendship; from secret codes, to a fake engagement, to really being each other's "person", this was perfect. I love how they helped each other grow and become better people, without trying to change each other into someone they weren't. The spice was great too! I was not expecting Hutton to be like... *that*. I adored the epilogue too, as well as the bonus scene we got to see. This was such a great book!
