Charade

Charade #1-3

by Stella Gray

I've been to a million parties with my crush, but he's never acted on it til now.

Ford Malone could have any woman in Chicago, so why fake a relationship with me?

The world knows him as the heir to a real estate fortune, but to me he'll always be my best friend, the man who saved me from my bullies as a boy.

I'm as surprised as anyone when he announces our engagement, but I'll play along.

Nothing has to change except the way we behave--the way we touch--in public.

But his private touches change everything.

Soon the crush I've hidden for so long is threatening to swallow me whole.

If I tell him how I feel, it could ruin our friendship forever.

But if I don't, it might just ruin me.

How many lies can we tell each other before our truth is buried for good?

All three books of the Charade Series in one bundle.

I read this book after reading Tori and Stefan's book, but I think I missed Luka's books somehow, which is a shame, this set of books is similar to Stefan and Tori's.
Emz and Ford also start off making an arrangement of convenience for Ford, Emz has been in love with Ford for years and does how to say no to him.
Sometimes arranged arrangements are more than a convenience and so much more than a shame.
Sometimes it's the first step to a happy ending!!!

Amazing

Amazing loved every minute of this book. I absolutely loved the whole story from book 1 to book3. I liked how each book entwined into the next. They kept you on your toes. You had to keep reading to see what can next.

Great third box set

Ford and Emzee are such a great couple to read. It was entertaining to watch them both mature and find their own place in the world. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the entire Zoric family saga.

Ford is now beyond selfish clueless a-hole.
He’s also mean and childish as well as mama boy…he just can’t stand up for himself let alone the wife he’s supposed to love and his best friend!!!!
Mara? Seriously spineless.

The heroine is a doormat and the hero is an egotistical, self-centred jerk. I did a lot of skipping and skimming and ask myself why in hindsight. D
