Who is this sexy young Brit that fate dropped into my lap?
I don’t know, but I plan to enjoy him.
Nate Chandler is a pro football player looking to get back in the dating game after the disastrous end of his marriage earlier in the year. Hunter Colburn, the charming, young, British guy who is newly out as bi-sexual and looking to experience all the things he’s been missing out on seems to be the perfect choice. They’re both looking for a good time with no strings attached. But that plan quickly goes out the window when a bet and a fair amount of bourbon cause them to wind up married after a night together in Vegas. The fact that news of their nuptials gets out quickly leaves them stuck in their fake marriage until it all blows over, then they can get a divorce and forget all about it. The only thing they have to do in the meantime is not fall for one another… but you know how that usually goes.
As you can expect from a Lauren Blakely book, this was fun, sexy, and pretty low on angst. I remembered Nate from when I read The Boyfriend Comeback last year so I was happy to finally get back around to reading his story. He was a really sweet guy. He’d been hurt pretty badly by his ex but he was eager to get himself back out there. Hunter was a good match for him. Things were just easy between them from the very beginning. Life threw them a bit of a curve with the accidental marriage but I enjoyed seeing how they handled it. There was the teensiest bit of angst due to this but they communicated well and any drama was quickly resolved. They were also really cute together, I enjoyed seeing them get to know one another and ultimately fall for each other. Plus their chemistry was scorching. Hunter was inexperienced when it came to men but he was very eager to learn and to please Nate. And Nate was a good teacher! If you’re looking for a quick, easy, light read – this will certainly hit the spot!
