My Review

I LOVED this story. I was quickly consumed by Jade and Jackson! I truly did not want to put this book down.  They were complete strangers but 1000% attracted to each other and their chemistry was off the charts! This book is sexy, sweet, fun and all around awesome!

"And now that man is standing in the shared balcony space as I am, and for the life of me, I can't take my eyes off him."

And so it begins ... these two people are single, on vacation, so why not spend all their time together?! What started out as a way to avoid triplets, Tuffy, Buffy and Muffy, ended up being a vacation they would never forget. They are pulled toward each other and it was absolutely delicious. Jade thinks Jackson wouldn't be attracted to her in her normal life. Being in an exotic location brings out her creativity and starts the pretending. However, Jackson is truly attracted to her (vacation or not) and treats her like a queen. I enjoyed watching them get to know each other (as much as they would allow the truth to come out) however, they couldn't fake what activities they enjoyed doing or things they liked eating. It may have started out as fake, but emotions can't be ignored. I don't want to say too much to give this story away, as I believe it's better to be read without too much knowledge of what's to come. I enjoyed the twists and turns this story took and how things overlapped. This book brought all the feels and left me with a book hangover. Be prepared for Jackson to become your newest book boyfriend! Hurry! Run, go grab this AMAZING book today! 




I laugh and find myself tempted by her hand, which sits on the metal table. After our impromptu snogging session, Jade put on a nice little sundress which has my imagination running wild and some strappy sandals. Her toes are painted a turquoise blue. I found it a little weird at first; normally I see reds or pinks on toes, but rarely a blue colour. I quite like it. I like it a lot. In fact, I’ve yet to find something about this woman I don’t like. 
“And yet, you didn’t. I came over and kissed you. You could’ve punched me, kicked me in the nuts, or groped me. I’m grateful you let me kiss you the way I did.”
She blushes again. “Why did you? I’m sure there are other, more beautiful women at the resort that would’ve been happy to oblige you.”
“But then I wouldn’t be here with my pretend wife, trying to get to know more about her.”
Her eyes don’t waver from mine as she takes a sip of her cocktail. “Do you really want to get to know me?”
“The fake you, yes. I don’t want to get cornered by one of the triplets and not know my facts.”
“Are they in fact, triplets?”
I shake my head. “I haven’t got a bloody clue, to be honest with you. Fake tits all look the same at the end of the day.”
Her mouth falls open into a sexy little O and images of other ways I can make that happen pop straight into mind. “I named them Muffy, Tuffy, and Buffy. The names seemed fitting,” she says with a shrug. 
I crack the fuck up. “Then that is what we’ll call them until they leave.”
“Do you know when that is? Or what room they’re in?”
I lean over the table and pick her hand up. “They leave after us, and no, I don’t, thank goodness. I don’t care either. I made you a promise and I always keep my promises.” I bring her hand to my lips and let them linger against her skin until a passer-by makes a comment about us being in love. 
Not love, lust though, and I couldn’t be happier that I chose her to be my distraction this week. When I finally let go of her hand, she picks up her drink and finishes it. 
“Want another one?” I ask, already standing by the time she nods. I lean down and kiss the top of her head, inhaling the scent of her shampoo. The smell of grapefruit assaults my senses, making my heart race. I groan as I walk into the restaurant. I could’ve easily waited for the waitress to come back to us, but I needed to step away from Jade for a minute. She’s fucking deadly with her innocent façade and I have a strong reason to believe I’m going to fall victim to her and love every minute of it. 
When I walk out, there’s a bloke talking to her as if it’s an everyday occurrence. I have never been jealous of any man until now. The pure rage I feel, watching him talk to my pretend wife almost takes over my body, yet I find the will to let it go. Who am I to stand in the way of her potential hook-ups?
