"It was good, not my favorite. Your typical she fell first, he fell harder "

"I really enjoyed this book, it was the perfect weekend binge read. Maddie is a kind quirky wedding dress designer, Chase is the grumpy brooding CEO of the NYC department store Maddie’s company is contracted through. Maddie and Chase dated for six months and broke up, on less than amicable terms. Then months later Maddie finds Chase at her door step with a proposition - he needs her to be his fake fiancé for a weekend at home with his family. Maddie reluctantly agrees knowing it will be hard to hide their disdain for each other. What happens next was a cute, but predictable slow burn kind of story. Maddie and Chase have things in common that bring them closer together when Chase needs it most and it turns out Chase isn’t nearly as much of a grump as Maddie thought. Maddie has a hard time trusting Chase while they both fall in love but are too afraid to tell the other. Then in typical (and perfect imo) romance novel fashion we get our HEA. All in all, I’d definitely read another LJ Shen novel."
"DNF/basically finished at 86%<br/>Really couldn’t be bothered to read the rest, because, as usual, I got the gist. Because I’ve read this author before and she seems to have a knack for writing about total asshole men, I was really expecting the worst, but Chase wasn’t so bad, in fact, was pretty good, so 3 stars for him and Maddie. He really did have his work cut out for him in the beginning though, because the pretend cheating thing and overall assholerly to scare her away? That was pretty crappy. He did good with the groveling though"
"Couldn’t put it down. "
