WANTED: A SITUATION-SHIP
I’m a single female that’s tired of relationships ruining my life. However, there are times when a date would be helpful. If you’re a single man, preferably mid-twenties to late-thirties, and are in a similar situation, we might be a match.
Candidate must be handsome, charming, and willing to pretend to have feelings for me (on a sliding scale, as the event requires). Ability to discuss a wide variety of topics is a plus. Must have your own transportation and a (legal) job.
This will be a symbiotic agreement. In exchange for your time, I will give you mine. Need someone to flirt with you at a football party? Go, team! Want a woman to make you look good in front of your boss? Let me find my heels. Would you love for someone to be obsessed with you in front of your ex? I’m applying my red lipstick now.
If interested, please email me. Time is of the essence.
A joke turns into a full-fledged opportunity, as Brooke–feeling low and insecure, due to her family and how horrible they are–puts up a fake ad for a date.
From that point, joke or not–Brooke gets her date. In the form of her co-worker/friend, Moss. Brooke and Moss have never stepped over the line; remaining just friends and colleagues for the entire time they’ve known each other. Even if they may secretly be attracted to each other.
But once they start “fake dating”, the lines get blurred.
Brooke and Moss were an exceptional couple. I really enjoyed watching their relationship progress into what just seemed entirely natural for the two of them.
The only thing I didn’t like was the conflict in this was just…well, stupid. Moss literally loves Brooke but just can’t say the words. He’s a commitment-phobe. For a reason, though.
That part was a struggle.
But, all in all, this book was a steamy, sweet, perfectly wonderful quick read!
