I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was the perfect mix of sexy and sweetness with a touch of comedic relief added to the story line. When reading the blurb, the fact that Derek was a race car driver and it was a fake engagement story it grabbed me and i couldn't wait to see what was going to happen.
Derek and Lilly where childhood friends, that when certain circumstances arise, they help each other out, and things start to get interesting. I loved all the different situations that characters got into, the family dinner for one cracked me up, and this book brought powder blue to a different level.
I also really enjoyed some the secondary characters, especially Derek's sister who is also lillys best friend.
This book was a nice and easy read, i finished it in a couple of hours. I would give this book 4.5 stars and am interested to see what happens next, if there is a sequel.

Great story about two friends who've known each other forever, Derek & Lilly.
Derek is in desperate need of a favor, Lilly's life just imploded, will she do what Derek asks of her, after all how hard can it be?
Read this great story about two friends navigating life, a crazy one that just keeps getting them deeper and deeper in trouble! This book is 5 star worthy, I'm hoping the author is doing more books in this series!!!Don't miss out on this one!

I loved this one!! I simply couldn't put it down. I've read several fake engagement type stories lately and this was truly one of the most entertaining. It's very well written and Derek and Lilly are two characters that just made me happy. Their chemistry felt real and I was cheering for them all the way through. Definitely one you don't want to miss.

Derek Sawyer is desperate to get his father out of his business. Both his actual business and his personal business. I needs to land a new sponsorship but the sponsor's daughter has been making a play for him for some time and he just can't take it anymore. That's were Lilly comes in. If he can convince her to pose as his fiance he won't have to worry about the other woman. Hopefully.

This book was fantastic, It gripped me from the beginning, I couldn't put it down. The author, Bethany Michaels, wrote the story just perfectly. The writing of the storyline was amazing and the chemistry was beyond perfect. It's the first book I have read from her and I would read more. I give this read 5 stars.

All of the characters, from Derek to Lilly to the hometown folks, were wonderful. Serena was very forward in the beginning and funny. She wanted Derek and wouldn’t stop going after him. I liked how her character developed and grew. I can't wait to read more Bethany Michaels. Derek is a race car driver who never thought he would fall in love until he met Lilly for lunch in Chicago. The love they had for each other was phenomenal.

I think the reader's will thoroughly enjoy this book, based on the love connection from the start. It was a heartwarming story. I can't wait to read more books by Bethany Michaels.

4.5 Stars A delightful book about Derek the race car driver and Lilly his sister best friend and the brat that following him around in his youth. Lilly just got dump by her cheating boyfriend/boss so when Derek proposes a fake engagement to get a prospective sponsor's daughter off his back she agrees. Their adventure thru their fake engagement in full of laughs, hot romance scenes and enough twists & turns to keep you reading. It had a kind of strange ending, but maybe their story will be picked up in the next book in the series.

"My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read."

I received this book via the publisher in exhange for my honest review.

I must say that when I started this book and read that the leading male was a race car driver it immediately made me think of one of my favorite series and the cocky driver. I tried not to compare Derek and I believe that it worked.

When the book begins I just couldn't believe the despair that Lilly was going thru. What a tool her ex was to her. But this seems to be a common thread among lawyers that I have read. The girl takes the brunt of the tough times while in law school, eating ramen noodles and PB&J for years only be dropped like a hot potato once the money starts flowing. I really hope this is just a fantasy and not a reality.

When Derek comes back into her life, because of her BFF, he propositions her for a limited engagement. Not wanting to face her failures right away, she goes along for the ride, but will her secret crush since childhood leave her wanting more than a fake arrangement?

The chemistry between Derek and Lilly is amazing. I was rooting that this relationship turned into something more. I loved that Derek was afraid of Serena, and how that relationship turned out in the end. Lilly may not have been confident in her own life of despair but with Derek by her side she could conquer the world. Yet when you build a world on lies it's like a house of cards and comes tumbling down. Will they be able to realize what they have before the house falls or will be break each other in a way that was never thought possible?

I really enjoyed this book. This was a quick read for me, taking a hold and not wanting to let go until the last page and even then I wasn't happy that it was "THE END" Derek and Lilly will forever be in my heart. The journey of a super star and a normal person is sweet, but underneath it all Derek is just her BFF's brother, until he's more. I loved how Derek tried to protect her, his little gestures that showed that he cared. What was interesting was that he didn't realize what he was doing. The fact that he was falling for her never came to mind to him until it was obvious. The chemistry is undeniable. The pain is excruciating and brought tears to my eyes.

The characters are well developed, the scenery is beautiful, the drama, the angst, the passion all on point. My only question is will there be more about these two? I can't wait until Derek understands the implications of the epilogue.

A Limited Engagement by Bethany Michaels is Book 1 of the Limitless Love Series.

This is a fast and fun contemporary romance with plenty of heat and laugh-out-loud moments that covers the best-friends-turned-lovers stories that we all know and love. While I enjoyed the story, I did feel as though there was a lack of something something (not sure exactly what it was that was missing) between Derek and Lilly that didn’t have me fully buying into the whole scenario. I’m thinking it might to do with how truly rushed and last minute the whole situation came about when Derek approached Lilly. Still cute and plenty of laughs and well-worth reading.

This wasn't a bad book, however, the editing made it much harder for me to get into. I've come to the conclusion that it's not just the writing that makes a book, BUT THE EDITING! Life is short & there are soooo many books out there to read! I just didn't get that invested in it.

Witty, charming, and heart warming! I loved this story!

I found the story to be highly entertaining. Good writing with excellent dialogue. Enjoyed!

Fun, sweet book about the girl next door paying fake fiancee to the celebrity. Cute characters and a quick read, I enjoyed it a lot!

This is a fun romance with Derek, a race car driver, who needs a fake fiance to keep the daughter of an investor at bay. Lilly is his sister's best friend that he's known all their lives. Lilly got dumped and fired at the same time just before she meets Derek for lunch. He helps her put on a show in front of her former boyfriend, then convinces her to be his fake fiance. Before long, it spirals out of control as all their family and friends believe its real.

This had lots of sexy romance and was an entertaining novel that fans of the genre will love.

This book was adorable! It was a short cute read! I loved the chemistry between Derek and Lilly. Their banter was amazing. I laughed out loud quite a few times. I'm going to urge everyone I know and people I don't to buy this book. I love love loved it!!

I lost count of how many times Derek and Lilly extended their fake engagement. It was kind of cute. I really liked how both of their families got in on all the wedding preparations. It was like they knew that their kids were going to be a couple all along.

This author is brand new for me and I am a new fan. This story is about two adults who grew up together helping each other out a tough spot. Derek is older by 6 years but they grew up next door to each other and Lily is his younger sisters best friend.

The two see other at the holidays but Lily is engaged. A few months later she has found out her fiancee is a cheater,dumped him and broken his nose and lost her job since he is the boss. In addition he is bad mouthing her so can't find another job.

Lily is on her way back home to live in her parents basement and hitching a ride in Derek's plane. Derek has money, he is also a sexy, hot race care driver and he asks to meet Lily for lunch before they take off in the plane where he wants to convince her to get engaged to him because he has a prospective sponsor with a daughter who is after him.He is supposed to visit her family that weekend to sign the contracts but he wants a fiancee to keep the sexy daughter away.

Thats where Lily and Derek make a deal, no one can know except for the daughter and the sponsor and Derek will find Lily a new job. Does it go as planned? Heck no! Lily has always crushed on Derek but now Derek has to fight his new feelings for Lily. And what happens when both families find out and so does the rest of the world? That is when the fun really begins.

This story was so fun. I read romance books for the fun and the sex but emphasis on fun and this book was a total hoot. You can totally tell the author had a blast writing this book and you will have a great time reading this story with all the ups and downs that both Lily and Derek face.
