Pretend It's Love

This was such a fun read! This is the story of Paul Chapman and Libby Harris. The story revolves around these two people but it's also about so much more. They thought a pretend relationship would benefit each of them but oh how they were wrong. Her issues with her parents were not the tragic kind but still broke my heart. His last relationship was horribly scandalous and it wasn't him who made it that way. Libby and Paul definitely have some issues. Will they solve them before it's too late?

This is a fun romance with some sexy banter between main characters. There was definitely some steam coming off of my screen. This is my first book by this author and I can't wait to read more.

Once I started reading, I wasn’t able to put it down! Looking forward to more by this author!

What an exciting love story, Stefanie has done it again! Once I started reading I couldn't put it down until I finished, I had to know if Paul came around or kept his head in the sand.
Libby is set to launch her new business, Libby Gal Cocktails—a line of girlie infused vodkas and cocktail mixes. However a female reality celebrity has beat her to the punch by a month. Now all the businesses she had lined up for her launch are backing out and dropping her like flies in favor for the celebrity. Libby's father wants her to stop her nonsense and go back to medical school. Her parents have never shown her the unconditional love and support that she's seen with family's around her.
Paul enjoys being the bar manager for the bar that his brother runs. However he feels like he couldn't measure up to his brother's success, he is always in his shadow. When he finds out that Stella, his ex is going to not only be at his brother's wedding with her husband who is not only Paul's cousin, but the guy she cheated on Paul with, but she's pregnant too. He knows he's got to figure out a way to find someone he trusts enough to bring to the wedding, it's in six weeks!
Libby needs a bar to take a chance and showcase her cocktails and Paul needs a perfect girlfriend for the wedding. It's a perfect solution for what they both need, a complete fake relationship. With ground rules in place of course... It's a business deal only, no emotions, no falling in love~ easy since neither do relationships. No sex with anyone.. Doesn't matter that they're both extremely attracted to each other. You'll have to read PRETEND IT'S LOVE to find out what happens between Libby and Paul. By the time I finished reading this story my cheeks hurt from smiling or laughing. Although this is the second book in the series, each story is a standalone novel that coincides with each other. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of this book via Tasty Book Tours through NetGalley in exchange for an honest blog tour review. Due to sexual situations, this book is recommended for readers 17 and older.

~ “That promise is about as solid as cotton candy.”
~ It would be easy to stay warm and cozy inside her comfort zone, but there was nothing there for her anymore.
