Thanks to Avon and Netgalley for this review copy. This is my honest review.

I was skeptical of the fake dating and love coach scenario but I am always down for trying to make a crush jealous. The turnaround of the playboy hero was quick and drastic but also felt realistic of someone losing their way and needed a rejection to be pushed toward the right direction. They both started the relationship from the misguided place but through a week grueling family trials, they found each other in the middle. It was a touching story of support and open vulnerability. 

As always Tessa Bailey books are super hot and the spice is on my level of pumping it home. In a drastically not Bailey fashion, there is no butt stuff?!?! Outrageous!

I will say I did not care for the side characters plot set up for the next book. Will I read it? Sure but it felt like it came out of the left field and was jarring in this otherwise complete story.
