Tangle Beauty - A Laugh-Out-Loud Fake Dating Romance with Spice

by K.L. Middleton

This story has been previously published with a different cover and is still available...

He's handsome, sexy, and rich. Too bad he's also her date's brother...

Sinclair Jeffries thought she knew what she was getting into when her zany, gay friend, Jesse Eddington, talked her into portraying his girlfriend during his parent's anniversary party on Huntington Beach. That is, until she met Reed, Jesse's sexy as hell older brother, and ends up getting much more than what she'd bargained for.

Reed Eddington assumed his future was settled until he met Sinclair, his brother's so-called "girlfriend", but the raw, sexual tension between them is hard to ignore. As he watches their ruse from the sidelines, he finds himself wanting to uncover more than just their amusing little facade.

Due to sexual content and heavy subject matter, this billionaire romance book is recommended for ages 18+. This story has dark humor, romance, and suspense.

About the author

I am a wife and mother of two girls, Cassie and Allie. I live in Minnesota and, yes, our winters are legendary! I believe this has a lot to do with my passion for reading and writing, which is something I'd like to make a full time career of sometime in the future. Right now my days are filled with chasing after children in my daycare but at night I chase after my dreams of becoming a popular writer. Most of my books are written with young adults in mind but I am ecstatic when I hear that readers of all ages enjoy them. It's a great motivator and pushes me to keep writing, even when I'm exhausted from wiping noses all day long!

Also writes YA books as Kristen Middleton.

Sinclair pretends to be her gay friends girlfriend when he goes home then falls in lust with his brother Reed who is engaged. Reed's fiance cheats on him with his step father and he cheats on her with Sinclair and then Sinclair gets kidnapped.

It feels like every idea the author got she put it into the book. It's not really that romantic and I guess the spice is the cheating.

I was good with the fake dating storyline until she meets Reed, but as soon as the stalker/kidnapping storyline popped up, that was a hard nope for me.
