IT’s SOOOO GOOD!!!! Meghan Quinn never fails!!! This book has everything brothers best friend, fake relationship, one bed, sass, witty banter, ties to other books and an evil boss daddy. Maggie is absolutely hilarious she brings so much sass it just makes you happy. Brody is funny and cocky and yet down to earth and definitely book boyfriend material. I absolutely love their story.

"I’m a bit of a cinnamon roll. Sure, I’m a touch crusty on the outside, held together by sarcasm and hard work, but on the inside, I’m a fucking gooey mess, clinging to the fact that the woman sitting across from me is my dream girl. All I want to do is kiss her and hold her and tell her that she is so fucking beautiful.”

I freaking loved this book! It was hilarious reading how Maggie bumps into Brody, her brother’s best friend, at her vacation in Bora Bora. Maggie can’t stand Brody after he made out with her at her brother’s wedding, and then ditched her. Maggie and Brody decide to being a fake relationship that will benefit both of them during their stay. I loved reading how Brody fell hard for Maggie. He has always had feelings for her, and I loved how they slowly started to bubble through the surface. As you can tell from the quoteabove, Brody is so freaking swoony! I loved how much he was in love with Maggie. To the point where he would even mention how beautiful she was multiple times lol! The steamy scenes in this book were amazing and I especially loved how Maggie and Brody finally got together! I’m not the biggest fan of miscommunication break up, so I wish that the characters had talked it out. I also felt like poor Brody got the short end of the stick with how he was treated by everyone! 😭 The ending though was amazing and I’m so happy that Brody and Maggie got their HEA!

Thank you Meghan Quinn for an ARC copy of this book ♡

I always know what I’m going to get with Meghan Quinn and it’s always a silly, goofy, swoony, lovely time. And this book delivered on all fronts!

I thought this book was so so fun and I loved Maggie even more than I did when we got peeks of her in The Reason I Hate Him! She is so silly and (much to Brody’s chagrin) charming. I loved seeing her confidence and charismatic personality! She is not afraid to be silly and laugh at herself and also takes herself seriously as a business woman and knows what she is capable of!

Brody was such a sweet (albeit grumpy at times) puppy dog and he says stuff that had me laughing out loud a few times! He has such a rough go of it throughout this book but he takes a lot of it in stride and has a good sense of humor about it (in hindsight)! They both compliment each other so well and I loved seeing them interact.

Another thing that I love in MQ books are the bromances. The moments we got to see Brody and Gary interact were so funny and I could’ve read several more chapters of them just being silly together!

My one and only thing I don’t love is how Maggie talks to Hattie about Hayes. I just find the things she says a little over the line and I can’t imagine ever being okay with one of my best friends speaking about my partner like that.

Overall, I really enjoyed this story! I really loved Hudson and Hardy and hope that we get to see more of their stories in coming books!!

This book was SO GOOD. Meghan Quinn always wins. She could write my chore list and I’d give it 5 stars. Everything you’re looking for in a classic MQ book is here: hilarious banter and moments, heart-racing spice, and a swoon-worthy HEA. It’s is a MUST READ!

“So get comfortable, because when we’re in public, I’m going to be white knighting you all over the place.”

A vacation romcom from Meghan? Yes please!

Maggie is in Bora Bora for a much needed vacation which means not thinking about work at all. Until she hears about the wedding happening at the hotel she’s staying at. Getting involved in this wedding will bring her business to the next level so she needs an in somehow.
And then she sees Brody, her brother’s best friend who she happens to despise.

Brody is desperate to be in his boss’s good side so when the only way that can happen is to pretend to be in a relationship with Maggie, he didn’t hesitate at all.

Tension between them has been high especially after that kiss at Maggie’s brothers wedding and now that they’re fake dating, can they forget about their differences long enough to get what they both want?

Be prepared to laugh a lot! Poor Brody! anything that can go wrong seems to go wrong. The tension between Maggie and Brody is high so lots of banter! All that banter translated well in the bedroom! Lots of spice with this two! The chemistry between them is electric! But there were also some very soft and romantic moments to balance it out.

“So big. So long. Dear God in heaven, the silhouette matches the imprint I can still feel in my hand.”

Bromance galore! Definitely got a kick out of those. The secondary characters were also fun and interesting, wouldn’t mind getting their stories too!

An enemies to lovers, brother’s best friend, fake dating, vacation rom com that will have you laughing, swooning and falling in love.

So blissfully funny. I actually liked Maggie a lot more in her own book than I did in Hattie’s book. Brody was very likable and really funny. I felt for him through most of the book, the poor guy 😂 I loved the beginning, middle and end! Very solid book and I can’t wait for more Hopper family books!

’m serious when I say every new Meghan book I read becomes my new fave. This book was so much more than I expected. The banter, the spice…absolute perfection.

This story follows Maggie and Brody. Maggie heads to Bora Bora for a much needed work vacation from her wedding planning business. Brody, her brother’s best friend, is at the very same resort attending his boss’s daughter’s wedding. They end up bickering their way into a fake dating agreements for the benefit of both of their careers.

Meghan is seriously one of the only authors that has me cackling like a damn hyena. Everything that Brody went through on this damn trip…ugh I feel for him and I love him so much. The humor as always was top tier.
The bickering and banter between the two had me laughing the entire time! They really were hilarious together, even if I did get a bit annoyed with Maggie at times. Eventually, their passion takes over and sparks fly!
Loved the new characters that Meghan introduced and fingers crossed they get a book!

I loved everything about this story, and Maggie has become one of my favorite heroines. She’s confident and ambitious. And she doesn’t care what anyone thinks of her. She impresses without even trying. But the star of the show for me was Brody. I love this sweet, tender little guy. He’s funny and smart. He’s ambitious as well but not cocky about it. And the way he sees Maggie, just heart fluttering. I’m starting to think that I Meghan is stuck with me for life because her books just do something for me. She’s my absolute favorite!

This was another fun book by this author. Whether new to books or an old friend it has a little bit of everything for everyone and definitely keeps you on your toes.

Maggie has been convinced by her friend that she needs a vacation from the business she has been building in wedding planning and where better than Bora Bora. After her arrival not only does she run into her brother’s best friend Brody but the fact that his boss is there is too good of an opportunity to let slip through her fingers without trying to show him how good she is at her job even if it means pretending to be Brody’s girlfriend.

Brody’s manager has convinced him to take her place at the wedding of their boss’s daughter, so he finds himself in Bora Bora where he feels so out of his depth and that was before he found out that Maggie was there as well. He has been trying to deny his feelings for her for years but pretending to be a couple and sharing the same resort you know that the heat and the fun is going to rise!

You can’t help but feel for Brody with everything he had to endure but the connection he had with Maggie made it all worthwhile. The audio copy of this story was perfection as it brought out the funny times, the heat and all the feels as they fight for the happiness they both deserve.

I am now and forever will be a Meghan Quinn Fan, she will always be a auto download and read for me. Huge thanks to her team and Goodgirl PR for providing not only and eARC but also a PROMO BOX!!! Do I smell a new interconnected series brewing?? My favorite series by MQ are the Brentwood boys series (obvi) and the Royal series.

Maggie is on her dream vacation in Bora Bora and on the hunt to find a hot guy in a speedo ;) But just before she can get too comfortable, Brody McFadden shows up. Brody is attending a company wedding AND on a mission while in Bora Bora, he is determined to make a good impression with his boss and ensure his success. But Brody does not start off well at all...just like linen does not do well in humidity. A fake relationship is born at this time with a strict contract and everything.

The entire Bora Bora experience is not only hilarious (the gams, come on!) but also eye opening and slightly frustrating. MQ does a phenomenal job building the suspense and HIGH levels of tension between the two. This is top notch banter yall, it does not get better than this!! I loved the balance and dynamic between Maggie and Brody. They definetly bring out the best in each other and balance each perfectly.

I'm hoping this is the start of another interconnected character series, it was such an exciting moment to see glimpses of other characters and what they are up to. The spice is always good with MQ, not too much but not too little. Tons of action, those beach games had me LOLING.

Brother's best friend is a superior trope for me... I said what I said.

Maggie is determined to have some rest, relaxation and X-rated activities on her vacation in Bora-Bora. She's been working so hard at her wedding planning business and needs to let off some steam. The absolute last person she expected to see on the remote island is Brody, her brother's best friend. He's attending a wedding for work and quickly Maggie latches on to the idea of advancing her career, so pretending to fake date him is the obvious choice, right?

Brody is desperate to get a leg up on his competition at work. And that means flying to Bora-Bora, travelling by boat to the island (throwing up ---hey motion sickness) and sleeping on a chair for accommodations...what vacations are made of, right?

I loved this story, Meghan had me cackling throughout...poor Brody...he had some pretty terrible luck. And the way Erin and Jason delivered the lines and their exceptional comedic timing, absolute perfection for me. And not even in dialogue with each other but the internal dialogue...there were moments when I couldn't breathe because I was laughing so hard. And their chemistry was outstanding!

This was a good time. Hilarious and a quick read. Perfect to bring to the pool or beach this summer. I love a man who has been pining for years and finally gets his chance. Even better when it starts out fake.

Forced proximity. Brothers best friend. Beach goodness. HEA always.

Brody and Maggie…. Another Meghan Quinn couple to love!! On minute you are laughing out loud, the next, you fall in love with them!!
Maggie is away on vacation and winds ip seeing her brother’s best friend who has always had a crush on her.
They agree to help each other out and now she’s a bridesmaid for his bosses daughter and she’s Brody’s girlfriend. I loved them learning stuff about each other and falling for each other.
They have great chemistry and banter and Brody has a tender heart to Maggie!
