But this latest publicity stunt might just land me back on top\u2014much to the chagrin of Catarina Everhart, the prissy, beautiful journalist who\u2019s been assigned to date a bad boy (i.e., me) and write about it.

Is it that difficult for you to choose your words, Mr. Fox?\u201d I add coolly. \u201cIf so, this is the wrong business for you.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Barrett is an unrepentant bad boy &#8211; the sort of person who, when Catarina calls him out for staring at her chest at their first meeting, responds that she has really nice rack. \u00a0He&#8217;s an ex-football player who got kicked out of his commentator job for seriously inappropriate comments to a female ref. \u00a0Catarina is speechless when she finds out her boss wants her to fake date Barrett for a series of articles, but as a consummate professional, she resolves to grin and bear it. \u00a0Barrett&#8217;s pretty much immediately attracted to Catarina, but Catarina already has a boyfriend, though their relationship is, well, passionless. \u00a0But after a few fake dates, both Catarina and Barrett find that the other isn&#8217;t exactly how they first appear, but can anything happen between two such different people?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThis is going to be fantastic. Both of you will be in the other\u2019s element but out of your own. It\u2019s brilliant. Is there any way I can talk you into some platonic PDA? Hold hands. Walk close. Lay your head on his shoulder?\u201d<br \/>\nSince she\u2019s directing that to me, I answer with, \u201cPlatonic would imply we were friends.\u201d I slice Barrett with a look. \u201cI bet Fox can\u2019t even spell the word platonic.\u201d<br \/>\nHe flinches\u2014just the slightest pull of his mouth and narrowing of his eyes\u2014before recovering. What a wilting lily. So he had a few typos. Who cares? It happened to me when I first started, and still does on occasion.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Both characters had their annoying bits. \u00a0Catarina initially acted like a complete jerk to Barrett due to his sexually charged and misogynistic comments, seemingly without realizing that her catty put-downs of him were not much different than his angry comments to the ref. \u00a0Barrett&#8217;s\u00a0a bit like an overgrown mischievous teen, mocking how to taste wine at a fancy restaurant, starting a fake argument about an affair with a dentist at lunch, teasing her about having sex in an unoccupied office at work. \u00a0Barrett&#8217;s behavior straddled the line of complete asshole, and some of his antics had me wincing in response. \u00a0It seems, however, that it&#8217;s exactly what Catarina needed to shock her out of her acceptance of her lackluster dating life. \u00a0I never really liked Barrett, though I understood why he acted that way and certainly had sympathy for his background and current struggles. \u00a0This isn&#8217;t really a redemption story for him, either, as I&#8217;m pretty sure at the end of the book that Barrett would do the same thing that got him kicked out of broadcasting again. \u00a0It&#8217;s more like learning to look beneath the surface &#8211; of Barrett&#8217;s clownishness and Catarina&#8217;s uptightness.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cYou\u2019re kind,\u201d I tell him.<br \/>\n\u201cKind.\u201d He says it like it\u2019s an insult. \u201cSounds sexy.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cKindness is very sexy. You don\u2019t find that quality in every man. Hell, I haven\u2019t found it any man.\u201d I think of North. He wasn\u2019t kind. He was . . . what\u2019s the word? Tolerant. Tolerance isn\u2019t the same as kindness. Kindness is an action. It\u2019s for the brave souls of the world. It\u2019s for the Barrett Foxes of the world.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I thought the sexual tension was good, though the sex scenes left me pretty meh. \u00a0Their banter was excellent, though, again a lot of Barrett&#8217;s comments were in pretty poor taste. \u00a0I&#8217;m not usually a fan of grand gestures, but the resolution of the big conflict was perfect for this couple. \u00a0As for the rest of the big conflict, I was unbelievably angry at the cause of it. \u00a0<span class=\"ubb-spoiler\"><a class=\"ubb-view-spoil\">View Spoiler &raquo;<\/a><span style=\"display: none;\" class=\"ubb-thespoil\">Mia, the editor, edits Catarina&#8217;s article to expose Barrett&#8217;s disability &#8211; without his permission.

I could not understand why Catarina continued to work with her after that happened, and was very disappointed by it. \u00a0It pretty much ruined the end of the book for me. <a class=\"ubb-hide-spoil\" style=\"cursor: hand; cursor: pointer;\">&laquo; Hide Spoiler<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Overall, while I enjoyed most of the book, the resolution spoiled it for me. \u00a0I think I&#8217;d rate this more of a 3.5 because of it, but I&#8217;ll round up to 4. \u00a0I&#8217;d still recommend this, especially for readers who like lots of sexually charged banter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trigger warning:\u00a0 Isn&#8217;t that cover eye-catching? \u00a0You can tell right from it that it&#8217;s got the enemies-to-lovers trope, and that the heroine is rather straitlaced while the hero is, well, not! \u00a0This is the fourth in a series, but I read it as a standalone without any issues. \u201cIt\u2019s astounding you have any chicks willing&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2610,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[12,22,39],"book-tag":[161,179,165],"class_list":["post-2654","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-reviews","tag-4-stars","tag-contemporary","tag-romance","book-author-jessica-lemmon","book-series-real-love","book-publisher-loveswept","book-genre-romance","book-source-netgalley","book-format-ebook","book-tag-4stars","book-tag-contemporary","book-tag-romance"],"acf":[],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/36519058.jpg?fit=255%2C388&ssl=1","author_info":{"display_name":"ReadingLlama","author_link":"https:\/\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/index.php\/author\/readingllama\/"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
