Faking It

Faking It by Diane Alberts

 

 

I did not read any reviews before picking this one up and reading it, but I was surprised at the 3.8 star rating on Goodreads.com.  I loved this book; it was everything thing that I look for in a good book.  It had sexual tension, romance, sweet dates, fake engagements, a sassy heroine, and a hot hero.

This is a Cinderella story at its finest.  The banter between the characters and the strong spirit of Stephanie was a great match for the hot, uptight Derek.  I devoured this book in one sitting and did not want it to end. 

The only way this book could get better is if Ms. Alberts announced she was making it into a series and give Aaron his own story, maybe involving the wedding and introducing the other guys.  Just a suggestion.

Synopsis:

Derek Rory never meant to propose to his best friend's little sister. But when her boss tells a family-oriented investor he's Stephanie's fiancé, Derek can either play along or let her get fired. He's hardly one to turn away from a damsel in distress. If only that damsel wasn't adorable and sexy with a laugh that could melt any cold business mogul’s heart.
When a business proposal becomes a marriage proposal, Stephanie Miller tries to keep it strictly boardroom. But when things get hot under the table, it's all they can do to stay apart. As the tangle of lies drags them deeper into the underhanded world of business politics, Stephanie finds herself in over her head—not just with her job, but with her "fiancé." His eyes are cold, but his kisses light her on fire. If she's not careful, she'll end up faking her way into a real romance
