Ronan and Brooklyn share a passionate evening that should have been a one-time thing. Only they knew what they were doing at Ronan\u2019s bar after hours, however, the next morning, Ronan receives a video of the two of them and it could ruin both their lives. Brooklyn\u2019s father is the dean of the university where Ronan works as a professor. To prevent Ronan\u2019s termination at the university and try to fix Brooklyn&#8217;s reputation, they come up with a lie that leads them down a path they never imagined.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the age gap and the fact that their families hate each other, Ronan and Brooklyn are good together. Their sizzling chemistry is palpable and though they fight their attraction, these two cannot keep their hands off of each other even if it complicates thier already complicated relationship\u2026which happens to be a fake engagement.<\/p>\n<p>I love the fake relationship trope. I love the set up and when they finally realize what is real, however, I wish there was a little more depth to the actual story. I did love how swoony Ronan is and how strong Brooklyn is, and the sexy times are electric and there are a lot of them, but I wanted more development to the characters and the storyline. There are twists that I didn\u2019t see coming but when everything is revealed, it felt rushed.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, it is a quick and entertaining read. I did enjoy Ronan and Brooklyn\u2019s story and was happy they found their happily-every-after.<\/p>\n<p><i>*ARC generously provided by the authors and Wildfire Marketing Solutions*<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><strong>About the Authors<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Meet M.

I only wanted to read romance novels and I read everything I could get my hands on. I would read a book a day \u2014 sometimes two. In January I was staying up late with her and just thinking of all these stories. They came to me constantly. I finally sat down and just started writing. I always wanted to do it so I figured, why not? I never thought I would reach this point of success to be honest. It\u2019s insane to me that I have connected with so many readers.<\/p>\n<p>And I love each and every one of them for all of their support. I\u2019ll be honest, some days are HARD. I have my littles during the day and I write at night. Some days are just simply exhausting and then I hear from a reader and it motivates me to push through and keep writing. I couldn\u2019t be more grateful for this wonderful career.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.willowwinterswrites.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WEBSITE<\/a><br \/>\nKeep up with Willow Winters and receive your FREE copy of one of her books when you subscribe to her <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3KmNQ13\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NEWSLETTER<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/wwinters@willowwinterswrites.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Connect with Willow Winters<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"68021\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/?attachment_id=68021\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Wildfire-Marketing-Solutions-Button.jpeg?fit=200%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"200,200\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Wildfire Marketing Solutions Button\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Wildfire-Marketing-Solutions-Button.jpeg?fit=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-68021 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Wildfire-Marketing-Solutions-Button.jpeg?resize=200%2C200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Wildfire-Marketing-Solutions-Button.jpeg?w=200&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Wildfire-Marketing-Solutions-Button.jpeg?resize=100%2C100&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Wildfire-Marketing-Solutions-Button.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Come Here and Kiss Me by M.
