This is a good book. The two main characters are Tom and Chelsea. They have known each other their whole lives. They each have problems. They each try to help each other to come up with solutions. They eventually fall in love with one another.

Thank you Netgalley and Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I wished I would be able to give this book a higher praise than « nice ». It was simply nice, but not much more. I liked the premise but the actual book didn’t have much. The writing wasn’t the problem, there was just not much struggle, everything was so smooth and at the end there’s this fight and then … and the end. But all throughout the story, even if every date has some sort of twist, things between the two main characters just go swiftly. The author shows promise, the story was good, I just think there could have been more.

It spent an evening, I won’t read the following books in this series or recommended it to a friend.

Mr. Nice Guy is a quick read, in the best way. I sped through Tom and Chelsea's story because I just NEEDED to see that nice guys win in the end! Everyone needs a Tom- Mr. Nice Guy who can be oh so naughty too. The chemistry between Tom and Chelsea was great (the hotel scene!!) but I also enjoyed reading about their jobs and their friends. Can't wait until the next Pierce Brothers book!

This was a refreshing contemporary. A friends-to-lovers trope with sides of the brother's best friend and one-bed tropes. However, Belinda Williams writing was paced nicely along the plotline that it neither was too rushed or drawn out. It was 'nice' just like Tom. There was no excessive drama, only personal character growth 3.5/5 stars for this romcom.

What is it about?
‘Give me a week. Seven days and seven nights. I’ll show you what it’s like to be with a nice guy.’
Chelsea’s housemate Tom is tired of her complaining about her boyfriends. Arrogant, sexy, irresistible—bad boys are basically Chelsea’s M.O.
Pretty much everything that Tom is not. He’s dependable and sweet. He’s also kind of hot in a cute, unthreatening way. His offer surprises Chelsea. He’s right . . . she’s never really given a nice guy a chance before. And now she’s curious. Hell, it might even be fun.
There’s just one rule: this isn’t a friends with benefits arrangement. Except Chelsea never imagined nice guys could play so dirty . . .

My opinion
I loved this book, I love the fake-dating-turn-real trope. Although this author doesn't follow the clichés of this trope. I absolutely loved that this was meant to teach Chelsea a lesson.
The autor has written an easy, comfort read that you can read in one sittingand it was filled with romance and tension. There was also plenty of humour as well, which I enjoyed.
I loved both characters, they have a way of charming you and making you laugh at every witticism of what they say. And Tom taught us all how to be a nice guy (even when he didn't like that word so much).

This story follows Chelsea and Tom. Chelsea has a long list of douchebags she has dated and Tom wants to prove that she deserves a Nice Guy.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It was a quick read and the pacing was pretty fast too. Even if it was predictable, it kept me hooked.

It is a typical romance story with kind of a fake dating trope. It was refreshing to see a male character who wasn't overly confident with his looks and was a self proclaimed nice guy. I loved both the main characters as well as the side character Nadia, it was nice to see that she wasn't ashamed to be herself. I would like to know more about her.

Overall, it was a quick fun read that definitely brought me out of my reading slump!

Chelsea and Tom story was really cute Tom is like the ultimate book boyfriend helping Chelsea out where she is needing help in the dating department. He really shows her what she’s doing wrong and their relationship grows into something that’s substantially better than anything she’s ever had, overall enjoyed this book.

I really enjoyed this first book in a new series. Chelsea was having the worst luck with men, because she tended to date the "bad boy." Insert her next friend Nadia that planted the seed of Chelsea's roommate Tom showing her what dating a nice guy would look like. Everything about this book is captivating.

A cute story and premise but I felt like the beginning needed something more to make me care about who Chelsea was dating and why someone like Tom would be a good fit for her. The way Tom kept being referred to as "nice guy" or "good guy" was also very off putting to me. I wouldn't have noticed it as much if it was used more sparingly but it felt like instead of showing the reader he was a decent guy, we were repeatedly told to just buy into the fact that he was in a heavy-handed way that didn't work for me. Overall, I think it's a good premise
and I really liked the secondary characters but it didn't pull me in in the way I would have liked.

Chelsea always goes for the bad boys and it never ends well for her. When Chelsea’s best friend Nadia suggests she goes for Mr. Nice Guy instead she suggests Chelsea’s roommate Tom, who also happens to be her older brother’s best friend. To everyone’s surprise Tom agrees. Seven days and seven nights is all he must show her what it’s like to be with a nice guy. They agree to the one rule this isn’t a friends with benefits agreement.

I loved the concept of this book, and how there wasn’t an instant connection you saw the characters develop feelings and that connection and eventually realize how they have been feeling all along.
I loved all the characters! It was so refreshing to see a female main character that wasn’t this super thin model like person but had a normal body shape and was self conscious about herself, it was very relatable. I also related to how she views her current job and the future of it.

Can’t wait for the rest of the series!

Thank you t o @netGalley for an eARC in exchange for a honest review

Here's what we've get in this book:

Roommates to Lovers.
Fake dating.
Only one bed.

Ticks a lot of boxes doesn't it?

There were a few cheesy moments which were a bit cliche but I didn't hate them. A lot of stereotypical ideas about what it takes to be a nice guy which I think weren't always accurate but Tom as a whole is a lovely, kind hearted guy. I'd have loved to see more of a character development from him. There was a lot of hefty stuff in his past and I think that was skimmed over to keep the story light and upbeat.

Overall, it was a cute story that was really easy to read. The sex scenes were good and the chemistry was always there between the characters. I would be interested in reading the rest of the series when it's published.

I've got to be honest this story started as a 3 star with Chelsea and Tom both being put into this challenge by her friend Nadia to prove she's being dating the wrong type of men. It definitely felt forced and I was sure that things would only get weirder or worse. Thankfully it came around and slowly started to show something real between them. The story actually unfolds in the last third of the book when we get some real insight on who they are and what they've been hiding which is when it really started to get interesting.
A fun read but wished to have had more of what it had morphed into from the start.
I received an advanced copy of this book from Netgalley for my honest opinion.

I received an e-arc from Net Galley, but all opinions are my own, thank you Net Galley!

3.8 out of 5 stars

So I won't lie, the beginning was a bit rough for me. I didn't like the comments Tom made about women along the lines of she doesn't know she's beautiful, that is why she's beautiful. That kind of sexist nonsense had no place in this novel, and I wish it had been edited out.

One of Tom and Chelsea's first interactions was him judging her for the amount and kind of men she dated. From then it did get much better and I ended up liking Tom quite a bit in the end. I liked how respectful he was of her career.

I enjoyed the spicy scenes, and was never uncomfortable. They also had excellent chemistry, and I enjoyed that quite a bit. The story flowed nicely and I was happy with the ending.

A solid romance for sure.

A light-hearted, fun and refreshing story where the nice guy gets the girl.

After years of dating bad boys, Chelsea finally decides to give nice guy, Tom a chance on the advice of her bestie, Nadia. What should have been a trial period for Chelsea to experience how a nice guy treats a lady, turns out into something more as the chemistry between Tom and Chelsea flares and sizzles.

I liked the chemistry between Chelsea and Tom and their slow transition from friends to lovers. Their flirting and banter were super cute and the secondary characters were interesting too.

Overall, an enjoyable rom-com. Awaiting thr next one in the series. Thank you Netgalley and thr publisher for providing a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was a cute story. It took me at least the first half of the story to really get into it. The beginning of the book felt awkwardly written. In the beginning, Clelsea is described as being too nice, but actually just comes off as a bit dumb and naive. For example, when she thinks she’s kind of dating two guys, she says she “had the odd suspicion she’d become the other woman”. What? This makes no sense! One of the guys would be the “other man”. Her dating a long string of jerks doesn’t say she’s nice, just that she’s got some kind of emotional issues. There was an attempt to explain that away, but it didn’t make much sense. Eventually though, her character became more likeable and showed more intelligence.
Tom, was more likeable right away, but sometimes showed some strange ideas about the best way to treat a girlfriend. He has a late day at work (as a paramedic) and is worried about keeping Chelsea waiting for a date because “that’s not what decent men did”. Yes, they don’t purposely keep others waiting, but he had a completely valid reason. It seemed like this situation was written just to show how “amazing” and “understanding” Chelsea is because she doesn’t get upset about it. There’s also a part of the story where Tom gets Chelsea an Apple Watch an implies her ex-boyfriends didn’t “take care of her” because they didn’t do the same.
This couple had good chemistry, but the whole story was pretty average. I did enjoy Chelsea’s friend Nadia and wonder if there’s going to be a future book with her and Tom’s brother. I would possibly check that out if were written.

QOTD: What’s your type, bad boys or nice guys?
My A: NICE GUYS all day every day. Almost every person in my life, work, friends, family, etc., has gone out of their way to tell me what a ’good guy’ Marc is. It always made me laugh, like I don’t know?! He is the nicest, most selfless human I’ve ever met!
.
You should know by now, how much I love the friend to lovers trope! I just think there’s something extra special about two people already having a deep, mutual connection and watching it unfurl into something even more. Toss in a little roommate forced proximity action and I’m sold! Chelsea and Tom are JUST friends and roommates. Let’s be honest, he’s just not her type. Chelsea has gone through a string of boyfriends, all of them having one thing in common.. They’re all bad guys. You know the type, aloof, hard to get, a little naughty and a whole lot of mentally unstable. But Tom is sick of watching these crappy guys parade over Chelsea’s heart so he propositions her: Chelsea will ‘date’ Tom for one week. One whole week dating a self-proclaimed Nice Guy to show her exactly how she should be treated. Who cares if he’s always secretly noticed her as more than just a roommate? What could go wrong? What could go right?
.
I think the premise of this one is super cute and fun! I think Tom and Chelsea had great chemistry together as friends and as a couple so they were easy to read and easy to root for! I wouldn’t say that either of them were my favorite book characters, but they weren’t the worst by a long shot! Just two flawed humans trying to find their way to each other, the usge. I will admit that Chelsea was a bit annoying at points. The melodramatic, insecure moments got to be a bit too fishing for compliments at times, but I think Tom handled her self esteem issues well and even when she wasn’t acting like a grown adult, he always was. There were also some very random subplot things thrown in (looking at you, Matt) that did not make any sense in this story. Like I cannot think of a single reason why it was added, but here we are!

I didn’t like the story, not exactly the beginning, the 1st date of Chelsea and Tom. It seemed like the author was trying too hard to put some sexual tension, not in a cute way.
Fake dating but not fake dates? It sounded great while i was reading book. But i expected more.

Thank you, NetGalley, for sending this arc for an honest review!
Such a cute friends-to-lovers book!!
If anyone is looking for a quick-paced rom-com, this is your book! Both characters were enjoyable and perfect in their own way. From Chelsea's fun personality but bad luck in men to Tom's nice-guy persona, they were such a good match! Though I wasn't fond of Chelsea at some points and found their period for fake dating to be quite short, one thing I loved was how quickly to the point they were with their feelings for one another. Overall I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to the next one in the series.

The blurb of this rom-com-ish book made me curious, so I requested the arc. And it is indeed a very cute rom-com story, with Tom (best friend of Chelsea's brother) having a teensy crush on the girl. And Chelsea who is just a serial dater with bad boys, who leave her high and dry. So, when Chelsea's friend Nadia proposes she goes out with a nice guy for a change, they ask Tom to help out. The story is funny, cute and shows you how nice guys are supposed to woo their girls. And for the extra effect: there is also something going on between Nadia and Chelsea's brother... Hopefully we will get to that part in the next book in the series. In all, three out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.

Man I really do love a fake dating book!!
This was a fun read. Characters were likeable. Definitely will be checking out this author on Amazon for further books
