Melissa is terrified—and excited—at the prospect of becoming a mother. And if she’s honest, Donovan’s excitement about becoming a father is sweet. What’s not sweet at all is the pressure to use her pregnancy as a dramatic twist in their reality show. She craves a quiet life at the edges of show business and doesn’t want anything to do with the spotlight. In the end, though, Melissa knows she can’t hide completely if their show is going to bring in the ratings. Too bad that means she can’t trust a thing Donovan says to her while the cameras are rolling.
The reality is, though, she’s fallen in love with him, despite her determination not to. And now Donovan must figure out which will crush her less: killing her career-making show or letting her ignore just how right they are for each other.
This novel contains sexual content and profanity.
MY REVIEW:
The book opens with Donovan delivering, an idea to the network heads about using him as a bachelor in need of a wife,
quickly.
Of course, their would-be rooms in his
home that they would not be allowed in no matter what. His bedroom, his meditational room, his work
gaming room, and private gaming room.
You see he is the CEO of a multi-billion-dollar video gaming business and
a designer. This is a great way to gain
media coverage for his business.
Yet, what is driving this venture is the
million-dollar bet he has going with his buddy Nick after his other buddy,
Brian surprises them and really got married.
After the three had sworn off marriage.
So, Nick and he bet who would marry first. Donovan did not plan on losing.
On the first day of the pitch, he sees a
woman who catches his eye. It turns out
to be Melissa, who will be the producer of the show. He asks her to come for a business dinner
that same evening so they can go over things for the show. Plus, he can give her the floor plan and
which rooms are off limits. She
agrees.
Now, three glasses of wine and dinner later
she has already figured out going home in her car is a no-no. Where one thing leads to another. Donovan is hard to resist.
As much as Melissa hates the limelight in
order to provide a living and do what she loves she may have to make
allowances. That could cost the privacy she
cherishes. Her baby will be a part of this,
and she may have to be a bigger part of the show too. Something Donovan wanted all along so he can
have Melissa be the last woman in his life.
The two characters are rather hard to read
at times. You do see the depth of their
love as well as see it develop. I enjoy
the sexual tension and the humorous banter that follows. Even after their so-called one and done. Proving some can hold bigger connections then
you first think.
I give this: 4 stars. Provided by netgalley.com.
