I just couldn't put this one down. Good thing it's short because I ended up reading the entire book in one afternoon.

I love the story and the characters.

I do recommend

Unfortunately, this book just didn’t work for me. We know from the synopsis and the title that there is going to be a proposal but it doesn’t happen until more than half way through the story. There also isn’t a lot of action so instead we get pages and pages of the characters inner thoughts and it was hard for me to keep my attention fully engaged. There were aspects that were brilliant and I wish we had more of that instead. For instance, all the parts after they were married felt so rushed and I can’t help but think that it would have served the story better if the post marriage friction and relationship had been the focal point. The pacing of this book was just off in general since the ending was so rushed and all the remaining conflicts seemed to resolve in just a few pages. I do think that if you are a lover of romance, Harlequin romances in particular, then perhaps you might find this book enjoyable.

The Playboy's "I Do" Deal is a marriage of convenience or fake relationship story. I'll admit if I was gonna hide out from someone, a luxury yacht would be my first choice, so we know Clare has good taste! This trope is one I only read sparingly these days because it's been done and done again, which makes it hard to find something original in its category. The storyline here isn't one I've seen often, so that's a big plus, and the pacing is really good. Things moved along nicely, and I liked the characters from the start. There is a bit of danger for this couple, and of course, there has to be some of the expected angst, but the story is mostly fun and entertaining rather than getting as heavy as it could have. I will say that if you're looking for realism, this one isn't gonna work. It definitely stretches one's ability to suspend disbelief, but if you're looking for a fun bit of escapism, this should do nicely.

Trying to escape a future she doesn’t want Clare decides to find solace in a place where she doesn’t believe the people she is trying to evade will ever find her. That means facing the man she shared a steamy encounter with she hasn’t forgotten and coming up with a solution that will benefit them both.

Dev knows that Clare could assist him in the PR nightmare that he currently finds himself and although their arrangement is unorthodox he never expected that the biggest challenge would be denying the feelings and chemistry between them.

Two people who are thrown together under less than ideal circumstances find what they didn’t know they were looking for in each other.
