Such a Bad Idea #1
To Love
Don’t ask how I ever agreed to be his fake girlfriend…
And then fiancée…
But from our very first kiss the line between real and fake is fuzzy at best.
The first time I saw him, another woman threw a drink in his face.
That should have been a sign.
As if I needed another one, he also turns out to be my boss.
But he made me an offer I couldn’t refuse.
How hard can it be to fake it, especially when it feels like we’re not faking at all?
I can do anything for three weeks, right?
It’s not like I’m going to let myself fall in love with a man who’s been officially named Sydney’s Most Wicked Billionaire Playboy.
No matter how many times he winds up in my bed.
Then we tell each other our real reasons for the sham.
And it becomes impossible to pretend I’m pretending.
Confused? Try being me.
Especially when Aiden looks at me like I’m the only woman in the world, his strong muscles looking divine and his fingers working their magic as they trace my curves.
This is a Fake Fiancé, Billionaire Romance with a very emotional HEA, featuring a smokin’ hot Aussie billionaire and the down-on-her-luck fake fiancée who just might be everything he’s ever wanted!
Don't miss out on this hot-as-hell series full of billionaires, pretend boyfriends, enemies-to-lovers twists and turns and hot-as-hell forbidden romance! The Such a Bad Idea series can be read in any order and introduces readers to the drop-dead gorgeous Wheatley Brothers, who feature in all three books.

My first read by the author and I fell in love! I loved this story! Aiden and Olivia's story is captivating right from the beginning
Aiden's just the perfect book boyfriend! Olivia and Aiden are a great couple. Even though it started out as fake. Their chemistry was off the charts, right from the moment they met. Don't get me started on their witty banter!
Seriously, this is so amazing! Highly highly recommend this one!

Aiden fell the minute he laid eyes on the beautiful Olivia across the bar. He stared so hard his date got a little upset and threw her drink on him. Oops...so why then did Olivia give him the time of day when he approached her? Well why wouldn't she? He's hot, he's charming. Unfortunately, he also turns out to be her boss. So why again does she agree to a fake engagement with him? Why indeed...
Aiden's billion dollar playboy lifestyle comes back to bite him in the ass when it comes to keeping his Olivia. Keeping what was supposed to be fake but is very real. He should have thought less with his ahem and more with his big brain, and now it just might sever his very real relationship with Olivia. Will he fight for happiness or will he passively sit by and allow her to walk out of his life?
I always love it when a manwhore reforms because he's brought to his knees by a special someone, by love. Olivia is more than up to the task of taming Aiden, who is actually a great guy who just needed love to redeem him. She's my favorite part of To Love. She's strong and smart, and takes no bs. The perfect person to bring the playboy to his knees.

Fake relationship I love them so.
Aiden is a billionaire playboy who wants to show his father that he's more than that, even if its fake. When he sees Olivia in a bar and subsequently gets a drink thrown in his face because he can't stop looking at her which obviously angers his "date" he gives into what he's feeling and approaches her.
Why Olivia even gave that man life after watching everything happen is beyond me. But I'm glad that she did.
Turns out Aiden just hired her to work for his family company and when he proposes this fake arrangement she says no but eventually says yes.
Honey, there were sparks from the start.
I knew this was going to be different. There wasn't going to be a slow build-up to the attraction. It was there from the moment he sat down. We just needed her to realize it. Because from where I'm sitting he realized it real quick.
While Aiden falls without any regard. Olivia fought it tooth and nail. Every time she lets herself feel she finds another way to fight it off. Bless Aidens heart that man isn't giving up without a fight.
It was delightful.

Such a fun story. As a mom of daughters there was nothing better than reading about a strongly independent and fierce woman with the brains and career to back her! Olivia is a wonder to behold.
Aiden's manwhore lifestyle and Batman-like Billionaire air make him unattainable. Yet every woman seems to want to be with him, claim she is the one that changed him and made him give up the bachelor life.
How can 2 people so different make eye contact across a bar and share the same predicament? Both wanting to appease their parents with their successful yet oh so fake love story. A pact in place they fall in love that very night.
The whirlwind romance. The workplace romance. Moving oh so fast. The surprise engagement at the company retreat. The jealous colleague plotting demise. And finally meeting the parents. Will it all last?
They tug at the romantic in all of us. Their story is truly about love at first sight. As fast as it moved as sweet as it was I loved ever page.

Daniella Brodsky has taken the fake boyfriend trope and flipped it and made it something new and fun.
Olivia and Aiden’s story is exactly what you want it to be, a beautiful trip of love and laughs. The places they go are described so beautifully I want to go see them in person.
There is a little drama in this story but nothing too crazy and the steamy scenes are perfectly blushworthy. This story is about two people coming together for one reason and staying together for another. Don’t miss out on this one!

This is my first book by the author, loved the hero! I love how he was vulnerable and honest and spoke his feelings. I get so irritated in some books when the author writes how the character feels, but never has the character confess, or man up. After all, don’t we read these to escape, and don’t we all want a little Aiden in our life, saying things that give you butterflies? That make you feel? That make you want? I received an ARC of this book for an honest review.

Simple and Sweet, this book to me is the PG-18 version of a Hallmark Christmas movie.
With a kindhearted, quirky and sweet heroine, a reformed Casanova billionaire hero and a healthy case of eyes-met-across-the-room-insta-love, wrapped up in a it-feels-to-real-to-be-fake relationship you're bound to end up with the warm fuzzies. Add in some steam and well, it's a recipe for a good book-evening.

This was a good read. Olivia has moved to Australia to be with a man. He ends up cheating on her. Now she needs a fake boyfriend in order to ward off her parents. Luckily Aiden has a plan for them. Of course at times things get complicated but in the end they get their happy ending.
October 16, 2020
Aiden is such a typical rich playboy until he sees Olivia from across the bar. They have instant chemistry and fall faster than a ball drops. But life isn't easy and they go through a lot of crap before they get their HEA.

Absolutely Amazing!!! From start to finish the book was gripping, there wasn't a point where I got bored. I love the passion and intensity throughout the entire book. I highly recommend this book.

My first read from this author and definitely not my last.
Olivia moved to the other side of the world for a man and a new job. The man didn’t last but the job is the best decision she’s made. Whilst traveling around, getting used to her new surroundings she realizes she starts to fall in love with the country.
When Olivia and Aidan meet it is as if they have known each other forever. Instant attraction and quick friendship. Though neither is ready to trust, after a night drinking, they enter into a fake relationship to help each other out with their parental issues. They decide that as long as they keep it professional what could possibly go wrong? A bad idea becomes so much more when feelings begin to get involved. They were in trouble from the first shot.
This story has everything I love in a romance read, a hot billionaire, a fake relationship, and a sassy heroine.

When Aiden saw Olivia across the room she touched something inside of him that he had never felt before even if he was there with another woman. He concocts the perfect plan to not only appease his father but to spend time with Olivia even if she turns out to be his employee.
Olivia has been burnt by love in the past and she has her own reasons for going along with Aiden’s plan but it didn’t take long before their arrangement was starting to feel very personal and that’s when the fun really begins.
Their interactions are humorous and the sparks fly as Aiden proves that not only is he the perfect man for her but that she is the only woman for him.

First time read by this author and I enjoyed it immensely. Super well written.
Hot Aussi male asks woman to be his fake girlfriend. Typical fall in love and then left to figure out what to do with their fake relationship.
What started as fake became real pretty fast.
Super cute while steamy novel.
Olivia and Aiden are a great couple. She’s super strong and so is he so they fit together pretty well.

To Love was a pleasant insta-love, fake relationship story. Aiden and Olivia enter into a fake relationship while having very real feelings for one another. As their relationship evolves, the line between fake and real blurs until they have trouble deciphering what is real and what is fake.
I loved watching Aiden and Olivia’s relationship develop. They made each other stronger and better people. The chemistry between them was explosive and it was obvious that it was never fake between them.
This steamy, fun romp will delight the reader and have them rooting for Aiden and Olivia to overcome their obstacles.

This was a DNF for me. I gave it 11 chapters, but I had put it down and picked it up so many times at that point, that I chose not to waste any more time. I couldn't get into the flow of the story, and while I don't mind instant attraction, the thoughts of the MCs after 1 meeting were about falling for each other. Way too far fetched for me. This was a first for me from this author, but I would be willing to give her another read.

I went into this book with the general expectation that it’d be your typical fake relationship story. It was, but it was so much more! From the get go the flirtation between playboy billionaire Aiden Wheatley and “Data Girl” Olivia Baker was super fun to read. They clearly had a connection and from the beginning we could tell that what they were attempting to do was not going to be a fling. There were a few bumps in the road for them, from work drama mixed in with Aidens playboy past to fighting Olivias fear about her childhood health but they were much stronger after each incident and it just solidified their relationship. The family relationships were also really nice to read about. Olivia always had that strong family bond where as Aiden came from a broken home with a playboy father and a strong yet cast aside mother. His example of family was totally different from Olivia and watching him take in all the love from her and her family was really nice to see. Overall it was a great story! It was better than what I was expecting and I would easily recommend this book!

Great book
Kept me completely entertained. It is funny, sweet and just enough sexiness where it isn't vulgar. I can't wait for a second book!

I really enjoyed going on Aiden & Olivia’s journey! From the first page to the last, I was consumed by their story.
Aiden had a plan to show his father that he was maturing. What Aiden didn’t plan on was Olivia. Olivia just dumped her boyfriend she followed around the world so the last thing she expected was Aiden.
I loved how their relationship even though was supposed to be fake but never was in anyway. Olivia & Aiden together were stronger and were able to lean on each other. I adored them.
This is the first and won’t be the last book that I will read by Daniella Brodsky. I can’t wait for more in this series!

This is the second book I have read from this author. The first was a short story, but I think I like her longer stories better and I am now a fan of hers. Once I started reading this story, I was not able to put the book down. I was consumed reading about Olivia and Aiden’s “fake” journey. The descriptions the author uses throughout the story makes you feel like you are there.
Aiden seems to be your typical billionaire playboy – he’s made quite the name for himself and is desperately searching for his father’s approval. He has a plan to prove to his father he is changing his ways. He even hires a “fake” girlfriend to attend a conference with him just so his father can see.
Olivia just moved to Australia following her no good boyfriend Corey. Of course she didn’t know this until a week after they got there that he couldn’t keep it in his pants. She kicks him out and is in quite the mood and feels like a failure and that she is letting her parents down.
Once Aiden lays eyes on Olivia, he is done – he keeps looking at her while he is sitting in a bar with his “fake” girlfriend who notices and is not too happy! Aiden realizes that Olivia is one of his employees and she goes along with being his “fake” girlfriend.
There is a lot of chemistry between these two. This story is filled with passion, desire, drama and full of so many innuendos! I highly recommend this book and cannot wait to read more of her stories.

To Love by Daniella Brodsky is the first book in the Such a Bad Idea series and gave me a whole lot of FEELS.
Olivia and Aiden are a fantastic and fascinating pair and I loved falling in love with them!
Olivia is a data girl through and through and the way she keeps track of everything, and I mean everything, throughout the book put such a smile on my face! She's sweet, she's charming, and I'd love to hang out with her, especially when she's being particularly foodie, because let me tell you, this book made me hungry!
And Aiden? Well, he's a whole complicated mess, yet I couldn't help but be drawn to him. Given a reputation by the media it's hard to not simply live up to it, yet seeing behind the facade, seeing more of him as he relaxes, as the veneer cracks even just a little, well, it's endearing.
And the two of them together? Regardless of how much they fight it, there is a heck of a lot of chemistry, and it is combustible! The story takes you on an emotional rollercoaster ride of a journey with tons of twists and turns, but it always circles back to the power and importance of love, of trust, and of honesty.
Olivia and Aiden will make you laugh, make you chuckle, make you want to reach in and give them a little love tap upside the head, and will make you want to join in their happiness! So, what are you waiting for? Read this and remember what it's all about to love.

What would you do if you won the lottery? Well, I’m asking this because this is exactly how I feel about Olivia, the female character in To Love, by Daniela Brodsky.
What a lucky lady! I mean, how can you not be lucky when a billionaire, handsome as hell, cocky and interesting man comes to you in a bar and asks you to fake date him? And then be his fake fiancée?
Olivia is a beautiful woman who’s taken a risk of moving away from her parents to follow her needs to live life the way she feels is right. She’s been through a lot, so does her family, and she’s not willing to let them go through a rough patch again; not if she can avoid it.
As for Aiden... what a FINE MAN! 🤤🔥 I would fall for him instantly, I have to say. The thing is he’s a man that has so much to offer, and I don’t mean financially: he is the real deal and Olivia feels that there’s no way out once she gets caught in his web. Regardless, she struggles. She doesn't let go, even when everything tells her to. That killed the vibe at times.. at least for me, and prevented me to connect with her that much.
This book is really fast paced, so it’s nice not having to wait for the whole romance and steam to build up, and Brodsky ‘s prose guarantees a very entertaining experience.
If you’re looking for a steamy, easy-read packed with PDAs about a (not so) fake relationship, this book is for you.

This was such a sweet, enjoyable love story between two well deserving individuals. The obstacles and turmoil these two have to conquer and go through with every turn of the page is enough to make a grown man cry. Add a lot of passionate scenes, you have “Such a Bad Idea”.
Olivia Barker has moved across the country for a man, Corey, trying to prove to her parents that she can make it on her own regarding of her medical issues. Only to end up alone because her Australian decoy was in the bed with another woman.

When you meet a man at a bar, where he gets a drink thrown on him by another woman , you know it’s probably a bad idea to even talk to him.. Especially when he’s like super hot , mega rich , and your new boss .. so why not Fake date him , hell let’s get fake engaged .. not a bad idea at all ..
Well that’s what Olivia did... but at some point their kisses and banter didn’t feel fake and even when it became real how do you trust that... Aiden was upfront about what he wanted .. what he was capable of .. he needed to prove himself to his dad .. but he changed and started to see himself with her ..
“You’re just as scared as everyone is of getting used to feeling this kind of love, this kind of care, intimacy, passion, this kind of feeling like you want to be under each other’s skin, and having it snatched away “
But what starts as fake is hard to trust what is real especially for Olivia, who went halfway around the world for a guy who was cheating on her.. but maybe it was a blessing because she met Aiden
I really loved this book .. I will say that I have read a few fake relationship romances but this one was absolutely perfect.. I have never read from this author before but I will definitely now .. Excellent read!

I received a free ARC copy of this book from the author prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This is a brand new author for me and I highly enjoyed the story, plot and characters. I will definitely be looking for more books by this author.
This story takes place in Australia. Olivia is new in town. She moved to be be with her boyfriend until she walked in on him with someone else and now she is drowning her sorrows at a bar.
Aiden is at the same bar with his paid pretend fiancee until he cant stop staring at Olivia and his date dumps him. So he decides he has to meet Olivia.
This book is very insta love/lust. They don't just discover an attraction but they also discover she is his new employee. And that she is going on the same business event that he needed a fiancee for.
He talks her into pretend fianceeing him and thats when the fun starts. For Olivia she has to deal with jealous employees and he has to convince her to give him a real shot at love.
It was an engaging story and I really enjoyed the story and Olivia and Aiden.

I have to start out by saying that the way these two first met was hilarious in my opinion. See, Aiden has been labeled as Sydney's Most Wicked Billionaire Playboy, but the minute he spied Olivia across a room, he definitely fell instantly which gets him a drink in the face from his date. Yeah, I was laughing very hard at that beginning. He goes to introduce himself to her, and they definitely have the chemistry already in play from the jump. She learns that he's her new boss, so when he needs a fake fiance, it takes her a minute but she agrees to play pretend with him, but seriously, the line between the fake & real wasn't blurry because honestly?! It was never there. To Love was a sexy, delightful read about two people who were never meant to be fake where the billionaire playboy falls for the down on her luck heroine. However, there are obstacles coming in hot, so are they strong enough to withstand everything thrown at them?! Hit those one click buttons to find out! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL!
