And proposed a fake relationship to thwart the advances of a calculating woman. What started as a ruse became an intoxicating romance. But a malicious act left me shattered and doubt blinded our magnetic connection. I'm forced to question if Oliver is my knight in shining armor or just another chapter in a heartbreak tale.

It is amazing how two very different people can accidentally meet and a connection blooms. An introverted cello player arrives back at her apartment building to find the elevator is broken. Exhausted from a very emotional show and climbing up to the fifth floor only to lose her footing. But she doesn't fall. she is caught, as well as her cello, and put back in her feet. Meet Mr Grumpy. And they are neighbors. Mortifying.
But Amara draws you in and you can't put this book down. Great characters and locations will give you the feeling you are in the midst of their story. So good.

Oliver is a grumpy restauranteur, while Bex is a musician and introvert, and they meet when he saves her from falling on the stairs.
This is a well written story which has heartbreak, fake relationships, next door neighbors, romance, emotions, and love, which leads to a charming, entertaining, and steamy page turner.

Bex and Oliver have the most wonderful sex scenes and the most beautiful romance a woman or man could ever want. This book is HOT, STEAMY, and totally ENGROSSING that had me reading the book very quickly. Amara has a very very good book that is a must read on your TBR book list.

Bex and Oliver are entirely two different personalities. She is a musician with the opera whereas he is a successful restaurant owner who is highly sought after. He makes Bex an offer that is hard to refuse and it starts their path. Will their fake date turn into one that leads them to a happily ever after.

Okay, so I know I’m a hopeless romantic as well and this ticked the boxes for me. I loved the two POVs but for me I think it definitely moved very fast for the love story. I do love that Bex was able to be the person that Oliver wanted in the end but it was just interesting to see the dynamic. Definitely would want to read more by this author!

Cello and Flavor
Bex and Oliver find out they are neighbors when he saves her from falling down the stairs. When they start a fake relationship to thwart unwanted advances, the chemistry between them ignites. This was a charming story and the contrast of Bex and Oliver was great.

Oliver and Bex are so cute! After Oliver catches and prevents Bex from falling down the stairs, they are immediately attracted to each other. After a while, they pretend to be a couple to get a potential investor woman to leave Oliver alone. Sparks fly and a HEA is created.

I enjoyed Oliver and Bex’s story. It was an entertaining read. And was a new author, for me. An am voluntarily leaving this review.
