Bridget Slaten needs a date to her sister’s wedding. On top of that a fake fiancé would come in handy as well. She tries to convince Serena to give her Adam because she lost a spleen but her luck has run out.

Will Daley wants to get closer to Bridget he just doesn’t know how. When he eavesdrops on a conversation he knows that he needs to be sneaky he convinces all other Doms not to take Bridget up on her offer.

Both are at the moment in a difficult time in their lives but timing might always be bad. After Will talks to the resident psychologist that it might not be a good idea but in the end Bridget says yes. The decision is made.

“I take it that was an argument between your conscience and your penis, and your penis seems to have won.”

So they are off to Hawaii for her sister’s wedding. Bridget’s father is a self-righteous prat and he deserves everything he got.

Compared to the other books this is very demure and I enjoyed the beginning of the book but Will’s behaviour just got on my nerves too much. Love teamwork it is all the same. No Will it isn’t the same.

Lexi's books at always an automatic buy for me. I found this story though, a bit on the ho-hum side.

Dr. Will Daley is a brilliant neurosurgeon who got a perfect score on his SATs despite an unstable home life (including an absent father and a drug addicted mother). Bridget Slaten is a successful writer of erotic romance novels who has been disowned by her family for her scandalous profession and criticized by her family for her plus size shape. When Bridget's sister gets married, Bridget needs a date to the wedding -- especially since her sister has told everyone that Bridget is engaged. Will agrees to be Bridget's date and help her explore her sexual fantasies, but when things get serious Bridget will have to convince the man who doesn't believe in love that it really exists.

Poor Bridget. Aside from her sister, her family is hideous. Thankfully she finds Will, who seems like the perfect guy (except for his aversion to the words "I love you"). The whole book is entertaining and enjoyable, even though it's basically a giant romance novel cliche with a BDSM twist.

The last book was a disappointment but this one with Will and Bridget hit just the right note for a solid story with great strong characters, plenty of build up and steam, and a great ending. I don't know what it is about the Novellas but they seem to be more my style. Maybe the less amounts of politics and spy stuff. On to the next one.
