Her ex-boyfriend's older brother is the king of Silicon Avenue. And he needs a fake fiancée...
Hannah's ex is a womanizing cheater, and she has just the plan to get over him.
Upgrade.
To the mysterious man she meets at a club who agrees to a one-night stand.
But following the hottest night of her life, it's the same smoldering green eyes she stares into across an interview table.
Damien Bass
The dirty-talking, possessive tech-mogul says he needs a personal assistant.
But the position comes with one small caveat.
To be his fake fiancée.
Inside Job is the first book of the Silicon Billionaires series, each an interconnected standalone that follows a hot tech-mogul and the fiery romance that bring them to their knees. They do not need to be read in order, but expect some characters/couples to have cameos in future books.
WARNING: This book contains a possessive, dirty-talking, morally-gray hero. Readers should expect sexually explicit content, angst and profanity. There is dual POV, NO cheating, and a guaranteed HEA.
Alexis Knightly loves writing contemporary ("lite") dark romance packed with unapologetic doses of spice and possessive, filthy-mouthed heroes who know exactly who they want: their unlikely heroine. Sassy, strong-willed women whom they’d burn the world to protect, all in pursuit of their guaranteed happily ever after.
A true lover of rain, Alexis resides in Washington State with her family, two spoiled cats, and beloved boyfriend. When she’s not writing, she can be found exploring the beautiful PNW, binging the latest medical drama, trying her absolute hardest to become a runner, or mingling with friends over a bottle (or two) of wine.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
So the story begins with the heroine and her best friend sofia is going to have a night out wearing a mask to go to this club that her friend invited her… She also wants to do this cause she wants to pretend to be someone else that night, yes crazy fantasy lol. When she went there, she was dancing and having fun but all of sudden a man catch her eye. He was also wearing a mask. The man went for her table and grab her hand to danced and after a couple of minutes, they sit and he let her to sit on his lap… When the man tries to kiss her neck and the heroine grind her body to his thigh, the man say something to her that immediately got her attention cause it was the first time he said something to her. IT TURNS OUT THAT MAN WAS HER CHEATING EX BOYFRIEND THAT SHE BROKE UP RECENTLY 😆😆 Damn what a story there🤣 I find that so funny…. OKAY SO when the heroine hear his voice and recognize him, she immediately stand and jerk away from the man aka ex. He tries to defend himself to her but she doesn’t want to hear it (good girl) she said goodbye and walked away ASAP. She heard him calling her but she still walks away. Suddenly she crash into someone, someone wearing a navy suit with soft green eyes with black mask cover his face… He helped her by holding her, and (my favorite part) HE EVEN gets her a water and let her sit beside him (he was alone btw which thank goodness). She laugh a little thinking why this man helping her in a club when she was no one… and in a club lol. But he immediately say to her "I'm not the kind of guy you think i am.”. Then her ex boyfriend shows up and even call her BABE 🤣 But the navy suit guy defend her to that ex boyfriend and even punch him… After that whole fiasco, the ex finally left the building aka club. And then They got into talking and flirty 😋😋 Things were getting heated up so the navy suit guy call his driver to drive them to a hotel… In the car, the heroine immediately say her real name… They arrived at the hotel, flirting in the elevator and even foreplay till they’re in the room. And of course, they had a great mind blowing s3x that night… The next day the heroine have a important interview and when she woke up at the hotel, she was alone but the navy suit guy left her a note and even his personal phone number… When she arrived at the company and were going to have her interview, she was asked by the HR to meet the CEO. When she saw who is the CEO, it was the navy suit guy… AND YES THE NAVY SUIT GUY IS THE HERO HIMSELF ❤️❤️❤️😋😋
“I can't breathe without you. I can't think around you.”
‼️‼️‼️TRIGGERS: Ex boyfriend from the heroine shows up a couple times but not too annoying tho and it was actually pretty funny which you will be surprise, mystery, PTSD, child physical abused, high on violence, drugs and alcohol.
‼️‼️‼️SAFE ROMANTIC HOT FUNNY LOVE STORY.
The plot twist, the mystery is sooo freakin cool 😋😋
‼️‼️‼️No unnecessary childish drama… Which i love🥺
‼️‼️‼️NO CHEATING.
‼️‼️‼️THE HERO IS OVER THE TOP POSSESSIVE PROTECTIVE BILLIONAIRE ALPHA MALE. Surprisingly the hero is not manwhor3, it was not mentioned a lot about his past like that even his friends and family only knows a little about it. Yes he went out with actresses or what but that was actually for publicity… He never once talked about it, he said he have a past but it was never serious and not important for him to remember. He always say that the heroine is what matters the most… So yeah is like that😆
The hero always so proud of the heroine… Cause the way she work is so great and smart and he couldn’t be more proud. Even though the hero is a billionaire, the heroine never ever make that a big deal of it. Or be insecure about it.
‼️‼️‼️THE HEROINE yes i love her! She is so humble person which i love the most, and the best part: SHE IS SASSY. She knows how to defend herself to anyone and to the hero himself. If the hero is being mean or what, she will immediately tell him and not sugarcoating it 😋 She knows her worth and value 😭😭 She is also smart and great at her job… She is not a doormat heroine yessss 💕💕💕 I hate a doormat heroine😓🤣
‼️‼️‼️THE HEROINE age is 23 years old and the hero age is 33 years old. So ten year age gap.
The heroine even mentioned it to the hero and he got so annoyed with it 😆
‼️‼️‼️THE CHEMISTRY between them is soooo romantic!!!! I can feel it!!
“I wish for her to know everything. I need her to know the deepest, ugliest parts of myself, so maybe one soul in this entire world might sow mine back whole again. So, I do—tell her. Everything.”
“Hannah is a presence I've grown to need, much like a soothing melody to my ear or oxygen for my soul.”
‼️‼️‼️THE HERO IS OBSESSED AND WANTS THE HEROINE SOOO BADLY… He always said to her: You’re mine. And beautiful all the time and how she wants her🥺🥺 he said that many times! The hero even buy a club that the heroine’s was clubbing at so that he can see her immediately 🤣🤣 He needs her so much like a air to breathe…
“But if she wanted the ring, if she wanted this—me—forever. Then she can keep it. I don't plan on selling it, anyway, and I definitely don't plan on using it on any other woman other than her.”
“I can't take my eyes off her as we walk all the way to the bar. She's mesmerizing, truly the most beautiful woman in the room.”
"It means in public, your body is mine. Mine to show off, mine to touch, mine to own. I'll make it weep for me, then everyone will know exactly who you belong to."
When the heroine have to took off her ring from the hero, the hero was so mad and ask where’s the ring? “It's worth five million. What if I lost it? Or it got stolen?" “Then I'd buy you another one, understand? Never take it off again. That ring tells every man who looks at you that you’re mine.” 🥺💕
“But I'm selfishly choosing her, knowing in doing so, I'll make her mine and ruin her for all others.”
“I love you, Hannah Lockwood. And I choose you over anything in my life. Over expansion. Over money. Over revenge against my father. Over humiliating my brother. Over everything!"
🥺❤️
‼️‼️‼️IT HAS PUSHING AWAY from the heroine but not too much and not too annoying… The hero never ever push the heroine away.
‼️‼️‼️AN EX BOYFRIEND FROM THE HEROINE SHOWS UP COUPLE OF TIMES but never too much and not too annoying. NO EX GIRL OR EX FVCK BUDDY EVER SHOWS UP FROM THE HERO…
‼️‼️‼️DRAMA WITH OW but the OW is actually the current girlfriend of the heroine’s ex, she only shows up for like two times and only that. Not too crazy and not too annoying… The woman was jealous of the heroine… And other than that, drama with family and themselves 😆
‼️‼️‼️NO VIRGINS.
‼️‼️‼️MANY JEALOUS SCENES FROM THE HERO AND little from the heroine…
The hero is jealous possessive over her since day one, since he meet her 🤣 which i love so much😋
“And the thought of her under the touch of another man, especially my brother's, makes my skin boil.”
“But then my brother showed up at the club, all drunk and idiotic as usual. I remember how he touched her, his hand marking her leg. Anger swirls inside me. The way he spoke to her….”
"Don't say his name. Ever."
"You could wear a paper sack, and you'd still steal the show from every woman here. Meaning, no. It's not the dress they're tempted by. It's you. And they should be careful. Looking at what's mine for too long is dangerous."
And many more 😆
‼️‼️‼️VERY HOT SMUT SCENES… The foreplay, the hot steamy flirting and s3x IT JUST SOOO ROMANTIC!!! AND HOT 🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️ The hero loves the heroine’s body so much and always admit that and say that 🥺🥺 They didn’t wear protection though and they didn’t even talked about it if they’re both clean or what.
“But I don't let up as I'm overcome with the need to shove my seed so far into her, it will drip from her pussy lips for days after. So she'll remember who it was who made her feel this way. So she'll know exactly who she belongs to.”
“She stands and smiles at me, the light hitting her figure in such a way it could bring me to my knees.”
“I've watched companies fall at my hand. I've negotiated multi-billion-dollar deals. And I've stared down my competitors with a face as hard as stone. But nothing in my years dominating Silicon Avenue could've prepared me for the sheer torture that is watching Hannah Lockwood prance around in lingerie without being able to touch her.” 😆🤣❤️❤️❤️
“I want more than a one-night stand. I want her on her knees every night, batting her eyelashes and puckering her lips for me. I want to own all her moans, all her orgasms.”
‼️‼️‼️IT HAD A SEPARATION for like only few days because of a misunderstanding. Both are very loyal and didn’t go to anyone else….
‼️‼️‼️The heroine only talked about her past with someone else like two times or three times, but never more than that. It was because the hero need to know tho. And the hero never ever talked about his past with anyone else…
‼️‼️‼️The hero have a dark past same with the heroine (not too dark tho) like growing up there was a story but both of them never bring the past into their relationship… Like it doesn’t hold them down.
‼️‼️‼️HAPPY ENDING.
Married and pregnant 🥺❤️
👉🏽👉🏽👉🏽Thank you so much for reading my review❤️ For you who loves my review and follow it, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I did not get paid or be told to do a review on a book. I’m here just to write review about a book so i can remember it. Its my honest opinion😚 I didn’t know at first people will find me and follow me and trust me to be honest, I was surprised myself to look at the notifications from people who reach out to me😆 So everything i write down here on a review is based on my personal opinion and based on my true writing. I DID NOT COPY SOMEONE’S REVIEW OR WRITING SKILL because at first when i was using this app for one year i didn’t know how to scroll down on a book and see the reviews from others😂😅🤣 I know, silly me but hey I finally learned my lesson 😛😛😛 Thats why when people assume i copy someone’s review i was like what? Because at first i didn’t know how to use this app properly and i didn’t know how to open someone’s review because for a year i never follow someone or add friends or someone😂😂😂🤣 (I’m laughing so hard) 🤪 AND I NEVER COPY SOMEONE’S REVIEW EVER. IF I WRITE SOMETHING WRONG OR DOESN’T MAKE SENSE PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND BE NICE OKAY. 👈🏽👈🏽👈🏽✋🏽✋🏽 IF YOU'RE BEING MEAN AND NEGATIVE ALREADY WITH A WARNING AND NOT BEING WISE TO ME, I WILL NOT ENTIRELY READ YOUR COMMENT AND REMOVE YOU EASILY AND FAST. I DO NOT TOLERATE NEGATIVE COMMENT SO KNOW YOUR PLACE, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I’m writing my disclaimer again here cause many negative people still don't get it or still be stupid enough not to understand my POV when I already write it so many times before. So here I am writing it again to you beautifuls human being😁😁 WHEN YOU READ MY LONG OR SHORT REVIEW, YOU WOULD KNOW THAT WHAT I LIKE ABOUT A STORY AND CHARACTERS RIGHT... IF YOU DON'T KNOW THEN HERE IT IS: I LIKE A BOOK WITH VERY POSSESSIVE PROTECTIVE ALPHA MALE, NO CHEATING, AND PLEASE NO MANWHOR3, NO MANY PUSHING AWAY, NO DOORMAT HEROINES, NO MANY OW DRAMA, NO S3X SCENE WITH SOMEONE ELSE. AND SAFE ALL THE WAY AND A HAPPY ENDING. Something that I don't like it very much if the hero or heroine have a crazy fvcked up personality and likes. Example: killing someone and let the heroine watch it all and push the heroine to lick all the blood of his victim and made her have to eat the meat of humans. and fvcks many woman in front of the heroine while telling her he loves her. I DON'T LIKE THAT TYPE OF SH*T AT ALL. That's just who I am, that's what I like and I don't like on a book. Maybe you love that, but I don't. We humans are different, we think very differently from one another. You have your likes and I have mine, you have your opinions and I have mine of my own. You think it's stupid of me to love such a book or to not love a book or to hate it whatever lol, I think it's bad you think that way cause I respect people's opinions cause I know for a fact we have our differences. YOU AND ME ARE DIFFERENT FOR PETE'S SAKE. I even have my own friends or people I follow here that shows how much they don't like the book I like, I never even give them a long comment or short Comment. Cause I respect their opinions. I don't like to give people I hard time here cause life itself is already hard enough. I do respect your opinion if you say my review is bad or whatever negative things about it, but in the end of the day I will not changed my mind about what book I dislike and how my thoughts about it. You can't tell me what to do. You can give me advice but it's me who decided to know what's right for me, this is my life and not yours. Read that again. Don’t assume things about me that is not even real, just don’t. cause when you do you’re more small minded for sure. You're thinking why I'm telling you all of this when you already know? Is because you still hating on my opinions and don't understand my POV and don't respect my POV. You think i like writing this disclaimer when obviously you're an adult already? no i personally think this is unnecessary... but because there are people out there who still don't get it *rolling my eyes*. Hopefully they or the people who read this disclaimer can use a beautiful thing called a brain:) AND WHEN YOU READ MY REVIEW, READ IT VERY CLEARLY TO SEE IF I FINISHED THE BOOK OR NOT. KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. AND YES ENGLISH IS NOT MY FIRST LANGUAGE. BUT IF YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M WRITING, THEN IT MEANS YOU UNDERSTAND IT ENOUGH. I DO NOT TOLERATE BULLYING, NEGATIVE COMMENTS AND MEAN WORDS. PLEASE USE A WISE WORDS SO WE DON'T ATTACK EACH OTHER. SIMPLY, I DON’T LIKE TO HAVE AN ARGUMENT WITH STRANGERS LIKE YOU CAUSE I HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO😚 BUT IF YOU STILL WANT TO BE AMBER HEARD KARENS THAT DON'T UNDERSTAND MY DISCLAIMER AFTER I JUST WRITE IT DOWN, THEN GO ENJOY YOUR DAY AND GO AWAY. IT'S VERY EASY FOR A HUMAN COULD DO YA KNOW. IF YOU STILL HERE HATING ME OR ANNOYED WITH ME, THAT'S YOUR PROBLEM. NOT ME PROBLEM. HASHTAGS BURN😂😂 DON'T TAKE THINGS TOO PERSONALLY ON ONLINE CAUSE WE ALL A STRANGERS, WE NEVER EVER MEET. WE'RE ADULTS HERE SO LETS BE WISER. LAST, I BLOCK NEGATIVE PEOPLE! SO GET WELL SOON TO THE HATERS. HOPEFULLY YOUR HEART AND MIND WILL BE MORE POSITIVE 🙏🙏🙏 AND THIS DISCLAIMER MAY SEEMS LIKE TOO HARSH ON YOU BUT HEY I DON'T LIKE TO SUGAR COATED THINGS. I LIKE TO SAY TO THE POINT WITH MY UNDERSTANDING AND MY OWN THOUGHTS, CAUSE THAT'S HOW HUMANS ARE. WE ARE DIFFERENT REMEMBER👍 HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE!!
i saw way too many reels about this book not to read it, and while the scenes i was promised were great, literally everything else was a clusterfuck. what do you MEAN her dad is some mafia guy?! what do you MEAN a version of edna mode is making her do a personal lingerie show?! what do you MEAN somehow him playing the piano gets his father arrested?! what do you MEAN they only talk about their very serious trauma once completely off the page?! bestie i know the writing tip is show not tell, but god telling is better than just kinda pretending that there is a story there
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
I don't even have the words to explain this one because it was SO good!!.
I've recently had trouble sticking to a book and it was making me super sad but this one instantly hooked me. Damien Bass had me in a chokehold its not even funny.
The plot twists were amazing and the romance was romancing like I loved everything so so much. Hannah and Damien are so good together I am literally in love with them both.
The writing was immaculate and I loved all the characters (apart from Sterling).
Honestly super happy because i found a reel about this book on instagram and instantly put it in my library and i have zero regrets. I fully could not stop reading, hence why i finished it at 4am hehehe.
Im most definitely going to read the next book in this series and alexis has definitely become one of my fav authors!!
➸𝗗𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗲𝗻- This man became my new standard very quickly lmao. I loved him so much he had me WEAK at some scenes like how can a man be so perfect with his words??, i want him. His backstory did make me cry icl, and i'll never look at a piano the same way. Anyways this man now has a role in my top boyfriend list and he is most welcome.
➸𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗮𝗵- Girlie ate, girlie slayed like yes yes yes. I loved Hannah so much, she was so badass especially at the end because she had me SHOCKED. I was like oh my god you smart bitch and cried lmao. Her perspectives were really fun to read and just love her character so much.
I cannot express how much i loved Alexis’s writing. She fully got me hooked onto this book when my attention span was lacking. Like genuinely i loved this so so much.
Soft dnf at 55%. I’m not sure if I’ll ever return to this book, but definitely not right now. There are just too many issues for me, and I’m not in the headspace to keep going.
Guys seriously be so fking for real. We need to want better for ourselves. What is this. I read this in 4 hrs on a flight, and I usually don’t regret dumb books but this one? This one I would take back.
What's more to love? Instant chemistry, banter, character growth, and a little suspense?? I believe this is my first time reading this author and boy was I not disappointed, the writing was great there wasn't super unnecessary angst but a good amount of tension, and I would say it's in-between medium and fast paced. You get a bang in the beginning and then it starts back up about 60% in.
This book centers on Hannah a 23 year old trying to make it in New Yorks tech world. Her boyfriend douche canoe.. I mean Sterling was caught cheating on her and her bff Sophia finally forces her out of the house and in to a club to dance and possibly get under someone else. Enter sexy Damien who's 33 who is successful in his own right by building his own company from the ground up not using a penny of his families money. Hannah and damien have instant chemistry and they end up going home together. Well the next day she goes in for an interview... where you might ask? Yup Damiens tech company.. and who is damien?? Sterlings older brother needless to say Hannah is shocked and not happy she's been duped.
Damien strikes a deal with Hannah for 2 months and during this deal they develop a friendship where we see Hannah's growth in her strength and confidence and damiens is the power to shed old wounds and open his heart to something that isn't toxic and also learns that it's ok to not live breathe and sleep work. The characters really meshed well Hannah is the silver lining kind of girl just happy to be there where damien is the broody don't give af except for Hannah... he's always been sweet for her. I won't tell you anything else about the actual plot because you should go in relatively blind but there's some delicious twists and turns and a good dose of miss karma at the end.
I didn’t hate it, but I also didn’t like it? Idk how to explain it..
It felt like I was reading wattpad.. There was absolutely no plot until the last 10% which seemed pointless to me?
The book was utter filth which was great 🤣 but apart from that…. Meh
I really didn’t understand Hannah & Damien being pared together.. we never really found out anything about his Dad.. Hannah’s dad ran away and didn’t come back and that confused me.
All in all idk the book was super spicy, towards the end it got less spicy 🤷🏻♀️
Hannah lo badass que sos, SI HERMANA, SIII🙏🏻 Damien puro green flag, el entendió la puta vibra🌳
No tengo ninguna crítica que hacerle al libro, y eso que soy hater certificada, pero me encantó TODO el libro. El libro entero maneja un drama divino y bien tratado, no exageran ni sobreactuan así que amé eso.
Las escenas spicy están a otro nivel, diosmio Damien lo que sos🤰🏻
La personalidad de los personajes es hermosa y bien hecha, no hay nada MALO en ellos, es terrible no poder criticar algo, pero están muy bien descritos y las decisiones que toman siempre están bien.
Es un libro que te engancha a mil y no lo soltas hasta terminarlo, vale la pena cada página✨️
...
Hannah, the badass u are🙏🏻 Damien is an absolute green forest🌳
I don't have any criticisms of the book, even though I'm a certified hater, but I loved the ENTIRE book. The book has a divine and well-crafted drama; they don't exaggerate or overact, so I loved that.
The spicy scenes are on another level. My God, Damien, what u do to me🤰🏻
The characters' personalities are beautiful and well-crafted. There's nothing BAD about them. It's terrible not being able to criticize anything, but they're very well described, and the decisions they make are always right.
It's a book that hooks you in and you won't put it down until you finish it. It's worth every page✨️
Fake dating slay. Won’t lie, this is straight smut LMAO (what else would you expect with a cover like that) but the story line kinda ate🤭. It moves pretty quick so even though it gets a smidge confusing at times trying to keep up, it keeps you entertained. It does have bit of the classic enemies to lovers on top of the fake dating and there’s a 3rd act “break up” (if you wanna call it that), which I usually hate. They make up pretty quick and it do be kinda wholesome. The split was silly though because her reasoning is literally the last thing that would come into my mind but it might be bc its a dual pov and I get to read the inner-workings of his mind (and obviously she doesn’t bc telepathy isn’t a thing here). The book was good honestly. I love me a woman working her way up in power even if most of it is because she’s sleeping with, as the author made it seem, the most powerful man in the universe. 🤨 BUT IT DOESN’T COUNT BC THEY’RE IN LOVE. I had high hopes for the end because there was a fun little plot twist but I was highly disappointed during the epilogue because it always ends the same way….mf pregnancy. Like yeah I knew marriage was coming but EVERY FUCKING TIME WE HAVE TO END WITH A BUN IN THE OVEN?! Stop it. Give me something new fun and fresh. I’m. Bored. With. That. Ending. Gimme a couple that doesn’t want kids for once PLEASE. I need that drama. Anyway the author has a little bonus chapter thrown in there if you want to subscribe to her newsletter and get it sent to you…but I’ll tell you it has nothing to do with the plot. He’s just filthy rich, buys her a yacht named after her and then they fuck out in the open while they sail to Greece🤨😵💫. It’s giving modern day colonizers. Sorta. WOMP WOMP

This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
The attention to detail in this book is immaculate and the spice is🔥🔥 . I love that there was a great plot intertwined with the spicy scenes. Damien and Hannah were the perfect characters. I couldn’t put it down!
What an amazing first book full of scenes that will be playing through my mind for months to come. I’m officially an Alexis Knightly fan!
I was really looking forward to reading this but I found myself skimming it and with the weird twist with mafia, crime, some sort of secret society abuse it was so out of the blue.
Who doesn’t love a morally gray, alpha-hole that’s your cheating ex’s older brother?
I canNOT believe this is Alexis Knightly’s debut novel! She brought the spice right from the start and it was SO HOT. But beyond that, the plot was incredible and had so much depth and twists.
Damien Bass is the leader of the tech world in Silicon Avenue and Hannah is trying to break into it. But the night before an important interview, she has a HOT night with a mysterious man. It just so happens that it’s with Mr. Bass who not only owns the company she’s interviewing at, but is her ex’s older brother.
With her family in trouble and Damien needing a fake fiancé, they enter into a contract to help each other. What follows is hot and explosive and you won’t want to put it down.
The chemistry between Damien and Hannah is undeniable. Damien is possessive, dirty-talking, and 10 years her senior and I could not get enough.
I cannot wait to read more from Alexis! Book 2 of the Silicon Billionaires can’t come soon enough!!
Damien and Hannah have such GREAT chemistry that from the beginning you know it’ll be a possessive relationship. They grow together, Damien overcoming his childhood trauma and learning that not everything in life should be work related, with Hannah he experiences new sides he never thought of. He’s attentive, a good man and OLDER than hannah (she tried this as an excuse it , girl we all know you’re dying to be with him and besides 10 years is not a lot). He really cares for Hannah disgusting it as just the contract 🤭 Hannah on the other side is a little sunshine, always optimistic, giving her best every time, hardworking and loyal. She can be stubborn but D is there for her. Together they can be unstoppable, knowing sides of life that neither knew. The story itself was good, it has a major turn that makes you think about EVERYTHING. I was hooked. 🌟🌟🌟🌟 4.8/5.0 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 so spicyyy
I really feel like this has been thought through thoroughly and the author did a good job in not only making it about the couple but including the business side of things as well, yet … the fmc wanted experience and to learn and she didn’t get to do that because of the private things that kept on happening between the main characters.
The beginning of the book was mentioned on how she wants to know more and educate herself and attend meetings but none of that happened because the focus was securing one investment that gave her the look of a trophy wife only, nothing more.
Plus it feels like the side characters that affected the fmc needed to be a lesson to others to not be rude etc.
I am shocked feeling unstable and happy. The book was a roller coaster of emotions and had me hooked I read it in a record time of 3 days. The end had me crying and dying just overwhelmed but overall happy really recomend.

I’ve had this book on my TBR for quite a while and decided to give it a go. Even though this wasn’t a complex literary work of art, I quite enjoyed it and had a hard time putting this book down! I’m normally not the biggest fan of the ‘fake dating / fake engagement’ trope, but didn’t mind it as much in this one as it was clear this was more than fake right from the start. We get quite a few scorching spicy scenes (bring a fan), a lot of tension and some sweet romance. This is a ‘sit back, relax and escape reality for a while’ book. I’ll be adding the next book in the series to my TBR!
Safety: - OW: we get a catty girl that looks down on h because she isn’t from a rich family. She claims H is only with her temporarily and she’ll snatch him up when he leaves h. H is not interested at all and OW gets her due 😏 - OM: h dated H’s brother. We see him throughout the whole book. Causes some jealousy, but h is not interested at all anymore (OM was a big jerk). - No cheating - Short separation (3rd act break up due to misunderstanding). H fights for h in this time and both stay celibate.
This was ok. It’s a brother’s ex trope, billionaire, fake dating, etc.
I feel like the pacing wasn’t the best. They don’t get fake engaged until 70% and I felt like by then it should’ve been going on for a while and turning into real feelings. And it was to an extent, but I never felt a deep connection between them.
The end sort of threw me. It had some mob/secret society vibes and random things with her dad that sort of felt out of place.
There was also too much telling and not enough showing throughout - for example the hero has a lot of childhood trauma hinted at and then it says he told her everything off page! And then it’s never really discussed again. This happens a few more times and I felt like we missed on what could’ve been cathartic or angsty moments.
For the plus side, I found it to be an easy read!

I was lucky enough to receive an early copy of this book and I'm so so happy I did. A hot and unforgettable one night stand leads to being a fake fiance to your ex's billionaire brother. This book had me laughing (the gift he buys her🤌), it has plenty of spice, no cheating and a HEA. This is my first book I've read from Alexis Knightly and I cannot wait to read more especially book 2 with Lauren.
3.5 ⭐️ Been rating a lot of books 3.5 recently, I guess it’s my middle ground! I loveee a fake dating trope so that had me hooked, and I liked the contrast between the characters! The smut was 🥵🥵 (except the word c*nt gives me the ick😂)
I just wish the plot twist happened sooner and I also wish we saw more of their relationship.
not bad but not my favorite…if this book taught me anything was that i lack empathy- both of them have daddy issues get over it god, i can already hear the violins
