I received this book via NetGalley and the publisher as an ARC.
I read this series out of order. I started with book 3 because the blurb caught my eye. When i was finished I knew I wanted to read the others in the series because this was an interesting bunch of characters.
This book is about Marianne and Nick. Nick, brother to cupid, I mean Smart Cupid owner Jane Wright. He is your typical playboy with commitment issues. Those commitment issues threaten his career. What do you do but get that kind of pressure? You get engaged, even if it's for perception. But what happens when cupid's arrow strikes and you can't find the girl who gave you an unexpected spark?
Marianne is the shy numbers girl whose insecure about herself thanks to a loser ex-fiance. Jane Wright is her boss and cons her into helping out with her brother's birthday party. Stepping outside her comfort zone, Marianne is taken over by some spark and kisses Nick. But then runs in a typical cinderella style.
So when Nick and propositions her to be his fake fiance she's reluctant because she doesn't want him to find out. Yet this is just want she needs to prove her ex-fiance wrong. But will she be able to fight that spark? Or will her secrets threaten their careers?
I enjoyed this book. Marianne was just so loveable. I found myself rooting for this couple. Don't get me wrong there were times when I just wanted to scream at them. But overall I love this couple. The author, Maggie Kelley did them justice with a well written story and and slow burn build up but she brought me closure with the ending. Although after that slow burn beginning, it resolved pretty quickly. But it was still worth the read.
