Pretend to be Mine
The moment Brooklyn Walsh walked into my office I wanted her. No, scratch that, I wanted to f*ck her. To pull up that tight little skirt she was wearing, bend her over my desk, and make her mine.
But damn if it doesn’t go against my one and only rule – never mix business with pleasure.
She looks at me like I’m Prince Charming, here to fulfill all her deepest fantasies, but I’m far from the man she thinks I am.
Filthy rich. Dominant. Possessive. I’m the Big Bad Wolf her mother warned her about, ready to devour her innocence and her heart.
Despite how difficult my delicious, little assistant has made it, I’ve kept my distance.
Until tonight.
Because tonight, I need her to pretend to be mine.

I enjoyed this book a lot. It was a quick, sweet, low angst read.
Ross has a strict policy against dating his employees, only problem is he can't stop fantasizing about his P.A. Brooklyn.
After a message from his father he needs a date quickly and without thinking asks Brooklyn to pretend to be his date for the night. Unable to resist any longer Ross gives into his need for Brooklyn. Even though he knows this isn't going anywhere past the weekend he can't seem to stop himself.
Brooklyn was so sweet and understanding while Ross was moody and had such a internal battle with his feelings for Brooklyn but, his inner monologue makes you feel for him.
There was a twist towards the end that makes Ross re-evaluate everything he thought he knew.

The moment Brookyln Walsh walked into my office i wanted her. No scratch that, I wanted to f**k her
And that right here people is basically how every fairy tale starts; with man and a woman who in the words of Queen B, has a" Bomb ass p***y".
For the most part i feel reviewing this kind of books is a waste of time, kinda like reviewing Harlequin books. Yes there are a few that blow your mind but most of them are just okay. not great not bad. just right there.
I can say the only thing in this book that really made me raise my eyebrow was the part where the author felt the need to tell us the female lead loved food. she says "I love food. Probably more than i should. Especially the wrong kinds".
At this point i'm like 
how does this even help the story?
Probably would have skipped this, but last year there was this blow out about the cover of Alexa Riley's Stealing Christmas because the cover model wasn't skinny. I remember thinking, well that's a stupid thing to complain about but also that smutty novella authors seemed to have this need to make female leads hate anything to do with being healthy. The male leads would have hard rock pecs and probably a gazillion abs, they'd be someone you most definitely would see on the cover of Men's Health but somehow female leads would hate exercising and eating healthy food?? why? Why can't she love both? Why can't she like eating chocolate cake and also the occasional i dunno, wheat pasta or rabbit food salad. Why can't she think her health is important? Why do they have to make it feel like the female lead just wants to stuff herself with unhealthy food every freaking time? Because like it or not the things you eat does matter, especially as you get older.
We obviously all have different body shapes, weights and whatever weight or shape you are, trust me you're perfect but you'll be doing yourself a great disservice if you don't at least try to balance out your lifestyle with a couple of healthy choices.

This was a quick and cliche read... I still enjoyed it!

Wow! I loved this book. It had everything I love in a romance. A bit of a Cinderella story, a workplace romance and an alpha a**hole male who ends up falling hard for the girl.
Ross is a young CEO, billionaire workaholic. He doesn’t have time or space in his life for anything not work related. He’s a jerk to his staff and a bit of a slave drive. Brooklyn is Ross’ assistant. She hates the way her gorgeous boss treats her, but she needs the job to stay independent of her past, so she tolerates Ross’ arrogant ways.
Brooklyn happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, when Ross is desperate for a last minute favour. He needs a date to his father’s charity event and it has been made clear by his father that one of his dial-a-floosies will not be acceptable. Ross reluctantly asks the beautiful, young Brooklyn to be his date. He’d have to be blind not to be attracted to her, but he does not mix business and pleasure. Ever. So, as long as he can abide by his own rules and keep this date as a business transaction only, he should come out of the evening unscathed.
After an afternoon of Brooklyn receiving the Cinderella treatment, Ross picks up his date for the evening. Let’s just say that they didn’t even make it to the event before breaking his rules. He couldn’t resist and she’s been craving him just as long as he has her.
Their chemistry and attraction is undeniable, but Ross keeps trying to reign himself back into a business mindset to keep his heart out of the equation. His hot and cold treatment is confusing to Brooklyn, but she can’t stop herself from starting to care for the man.
When their charade has to continue on into a weekend at the family place in the Hamptons, everything comes to a boil and blows up in their faces.
Can Brooklyn forgive Ross for how he treats her, when she starts to understand why he’s such a broken, guarded man? Will Ross make space in his life for love or will his business always have his heart first? If they allow each other to fall, how will they make it work when they are from different worlds and both still grieving from their traumatic childhoods?
Great, great love story! Well-written, smart and sexy dialogue. Super hot workplace romance with heart.
Perfect epilogue following their HEA. No cliffhanger. No cheating. Standalone.

They come from two different social classes. It is a forbidden relationship, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Meet Ross, a billionaire business owner. Meet Brooklyn, his personal assistant. For the past 6 months Ross has been rude and cranky to Brooklyn because he wants her, and she puts up with it because she needs the job and is attracted to him. When he asks her to attend an event with him, they agree to a pretend relationship. What neither of them expected was how real it felt.
This was a fast cute read. Think "pretty woman" and a happy ending.

Ross Is Definitely an alpha jerk
Ross is definitely a jerk to Brooklyn throughout more than half of the book. I won't lie it was kind of hot. Ross does redeem himself and there is a happy ending. I'm looking forward to reading more from this author.

This book surpassed my expectations. I thought I was gonna skim another billionaire boss romance where he chases her around the desk and dominates her for his pleasure, and she acts like his penis is the best thing since sliced bread. Ok. She was a virgin, so everything he made her feel was a new and earth-shattering experience, but I liked his style. He treated her with more tenderness than some of these billionaire heroes.
I enjoyed the interactions between the hero and heroine. The ending propelled the relationship forward too quickly, but, without a doubt, this has been one of my better summer reads, so I’m giving it 4.5 stars.

Hmmm... lulusan SMA gt emang bisa jadi sekre nya CEO? bukan mau menjudge sih.. tp kl di logika sekrenya CEO mayoritas kan senior sekre gt kan, apalagi si mbaknya 6 bln sebelumnya cuma kerja di coffee shop, ga ada background sekre.. how come?! ahahahahaha #ditimpuk
Ceritanya si masnya ini dari kecil ngeliat gimana ibunya depresi kr cinta bapaknya dan bapaknya dgn pedenya py mistress, bahkan berparade sama simpenan-simpenannya kerumah, ngebuat emaknya tambah seteres dan bundir gt, die selalu yakin kalau die ga beda jauh sama bapaknya dan ga mungkin bisa menemukan cintah dan ga butuh cinta, hidupnya buat kerja kerja dan kerja. Until one day, die dapet sekre yg kata die masih muda, mungkin satu dekade lebih muda dari die.. padahal die baru umur 32 th (pertanyaan pertama gw, mbaknya masih 22 anak lulusan SMA yg sebelumnya jd waitress kok bisa jdi sekre CEO? #mulai). Si Masnya ini memendam gairan ke mbaknya yg innocent look bla bla, tp die kaga mau kek bapaknya dan karyawan die itu off limit. One day, bapaknya yg mo nyalon senator (keknya gw lupa2 inget) ngadain pesta dansa, dan nyuruh masnya dateng.. dgn note ga boleh bawa "escort" karena kejadian sebelumnya, die bawa escort gt ke party, taunya hampir 60% yg dateng pernah sama si escort dan bikin bapaknya malu. Akhirnya masnya minta mbaknya buat nemenin die ke party gt lah..
Mbaknya ini melewati masa kecil yg tdk bahagia, bpknya kehilangan pekerjaan trs suka mabuk dan mukulin ibunya, sampai dia jg ikutan di pukulin dan puncaknya pas die SMA trs dilemparin botol gt, abis itu berdarah2 dan ga pernah balik lagi kerumah (ga dijelasin bagaimana bisa anak SMA survive hidup gt sih) Dia jadi sekre CEO di peruhs gede dgn bos yg gila kerja, dan super ganteng. Percikan si ada, tp karena die butuh waktu berbulan2 buat dapet ni kerjaan sementara sebelumnya die cuma kerja di coffee shop (ah... cukup is cukup!!) jadi dia ttp kalem ngadepin percikan2, until one day si masnya ngajakin die ke party bapaknya, yah.. di kasih baju dan makeover total lah.. in the end bobo bareng as usual. Dia berkali-kali meyakinkan diri kalau ini hanya untuk weekend saja.. nanti senen bakalan balik lagi hubungan 'normal' mereka. Ah matta, mbaknya ini masih V gitu..
trouble in paradise ? hmm.. antagonisnya itu mantan tunangan masnya yg nyebelin, dan jelas2 pengen balikan.. trs mbaknya yg kesinggung pas dikata sekrenya dibayar berapa buat mau dateng ke pesta bla bla.. ya gitu lah.. ga mood nulisnya kwkwkwkwkwkw

IT WAS A GOOD BOOK. NOT GREAT.
‼️THE HERO IS OTT POSSESSIVE ALPHA MALE
‼️I think it was a love in first sight. Maybe? Idk. It’s kinda confusing. THE HERO SAID he wants her when she first came to the office and work for him. THE HEROINE LIKES THE HERO too at first. BUT I DON’T LIKE IT WHEN the hero didn’t pursue her enough at first when he said he wants her like that. He wanted months later to actually make his move on her. And that is not what i want in a hero :(
‼️MANY JEALOUS SCENES FROM THE HERO
‼️HEROINE IS A VIRGIN
‼️THEIR CONNECTION IS NOT ROMANTIC ENOUGH FOR ME TO BE LIKE AWWW... Nope. The heroine tries though but the hero always so cold to her and cold about everything...
‼️NO DRAMA WITH OM. ONLY WITH OW. I also don’t like when the OW kiss the hero in front of the heroine (this is before they even dating) THE HERO JUST OKAY WITH IT but push the ow. But why he just let it and not even stop her? Argh
‼️I HATE THAT THE HERO ALWAYS DOUBTS THE HEROINE in every little thing. Next thing he wants her and then he thinks about its not right for them.
‼️THE HERO ALWAYS SAYS you are mine. Mine !
‼️THE HERO AND HEROINE some time push away. The heroine never too much but the hero some time can be a bit much on that and it’s annoying.
‼️HAPPY ENDING... i gave it 4 stars because of the happy ending and cute epilogue that they have. They got married fast because the hero immediately ask her to be his wife and have a cute daughter.
They are in love and happy.

Brooklyn works hard, never has a break, The man she is a personal assistant for is one of the hardest working men she has ever seen, he is blunt and always precise in what he wants and how he wants it done. But Brooklyn cant help but be extremely attracted to her boss. When Ross's dad demands that he come to a fundraiser and bring a date "and not that floozy from last time" Ross decides to ask Brooklyn his PA to go as his date. Ross knows this is NOT a good idea because ever since the first day she walked into his office he has wanted her to be his, Ross knows that is not suppose to happen you do not mix business with pleasure.
this book has a great back story as well between Ross and his dad. you slowly find out why there is such angst that Ross has for his father.
Brooklyn feels like she is in a Cinderella fairytale but then things go VERY bad at the dinner in the Hamptons and she runs home and hides.
Ross realizes when she doesnt show back up for work on Monday that Brooklyn means more to him then he ever thought. What a great book!

it was good read. I just get sick of the lack of communication. you guys can screw all day, for days in a row. give looks, growls, gasps etc. but never actually SAY WHAT IS GOING ON INSIDE YOUR HEAD. he is pissed at having to share her because she looks gorgeous, at his dad, the ex, whatever and this poor girl thinks it's all because of her. and he's a jerk. he knows she is thinking that way. he has the 15 minute dialogue in his head saying he shouldn't be a dick...yet, HE DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING TO HER!!! the person who deserves to hear the words. because she was actually the one doing him the favor. the one busting her ass for him without ever getting thank yous. it's very frustrating.
but it was a short read, ended nicely with a sweet epilogue. it was the perfect length actually, because if there has been any ridiculous misunderstandings or crazy drama with the ex I may have make this a DNF. EEK!

My 1st book read, written by: Carter Blake ... I see this is the only book of Carter's available on Amazon ... I will do some googling to find out more about Carter. I am curious? Some one has a great writing style and one I think will hopefully catch on very very soon with so many other readers. What a great read. I loved it, couldn't put it down. There were so many moments of laughing, but then pulling out my hairs, 'cause I wondered where the story would go next? What chemistry this pair does have. Don't wanna give too much away. Go ahead and pick up a couple, you will love it. Must read. LOVED IT!! ( ;

I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book. This is the first book I have read by Carter Blake and I loved it. I can't wait to read more. Brooklyn is the personal assistant to Ross, a dominant, sexy, slave driver. When she was hired 6 months before there was an attraction between them that they both ignored. Ross needed a date to a charity event is stepfather was hosting and asked Brooklyn, much to her surprise and against his better judgment. They had a very passionate one night. They then went to the Hamptons, at his stepfether's request. The weekend did not turn out well. I will stop before I spoil the book for you. This is an amazing and hot read and I would definitely recommend to everyone. I can't wait to read more from Carter Blake.

No more pretending
I really enjoyed the story I know a lot of books turn into the happy ever after. However it was not a sappy story, I would have enjoyed it more if there was a part were that (I am better than you) Ella got to see how happy he was. And that she didn't get the guy the stories with female's like that it is always nice to see that look on there face ( even if your reading about it ) when they find out that they are not All that they think they are. The book gets 4.5 stars from me.

Really good story !!
This is a really good story. A little twist to make everything change from what Ross new as true. His attraction to his assistant is getting hard to ignore. She has been working for him for 6 months and even though he is a jacka$$, she can't help fall in love with him.

I absolutely loved this book! Ross is the prefect mix of Alpha sexiness and loveable gentleman in my opinion. Brooklyn is shy and independent. Together, they have incredibly steamy passion! The plot was well developed and gave insight into past events that helped shape them and make them who they are. I found that the characters were well developed.

Steamy short story
Pretending turned out to have a happy ending. No cheating or cliffhanger. Proofreading was good. Sort of like Beauty and the Beast. Ross is intense, starts out bitter but beautiful Brooklyn takes what he calls the big bad wolf. Steamy short story. Would have been better if the author went deeper with the ending. Still overall a good read!

This is one hot read, that you will not put down. I loved the duel perspective of both of the main characters. Carter's writing style had me hooked from the first page. I am looking forward to reading more from Carter.

Brroklyn works for Ross,who is her rich alpha billionare boss.The attraction between them is off the charts when he takes her out for a charity function and spends the weekend.
But can this turn into more or Ross will back out?
