Description

"My hot new neighbor is keeping me up all night..." Discover the fake-dating steamy romance, perfect for fans of Tessa Bailey, Elle Kennedy, and Hannah Grace!

Emerson Hayes is sexy, arrogant, and has abs that would put a Hemsworth to shame. He’s also opening a bar with his buddies right below my apartment. Goodbye, peace and quiet, hello sleepless nights fantasizing about my hot new landlord…

But when my stuffy workplace makes it clear I need a plus-one for our events, I have the perfect way to even the score. Emerson is A+ arm-candy… as long as I can resist taking a bite. Our arrangement is supposed to be just for show, but Emerson is like that fifth shot of tequila: tempting, intoxicating, and liable to leave me flat on my back with my panties around my ankles, begging for more.

Maybe I can stay for just one more round…

    The fact that she didn’t know who his father was when they met is a clear indication that she wasn’t betraying him. The guy is always so prideful and won’t apologize to the girl, even if he was the one who said some nasty untrue things. Then the guy makes it seem like he is sacrificing his chance with the girl because he’s not good enough, when in fact the guy is just a coward waiting for the girl to apologize.

    It seems like it would be a really good story, but there just isn’t much tension between the characters. I never really bought into their romance; it was lackluster for me.
  • Romantic Rascal is Charming and Delightful

    Disclaimer: ARC received in exchange for an honest review Rascal is the first entry in Katie McCoy’s newest series. It pairs Alexandra (Alex) Matthis and Emerson Hayes following a mildly embarrassing and utterly endearing meet cute over women’s feminine hygiene products that was later complicated by a power outage in an ATM lobby. Almost attorney Alex later discovers that her run-in with Emerson is not a one-off, as he owns and manages the newly-constructed bar below her apartment. From there, their relationship transforms from an awkward introduction, to mildly adversarial tenants, to a fake coupling, before evolving into an actual, honest-to-goodness adult relationship. Of course their relationship is complicated by his social status and its potential benefits to her career, but in the end, Alex and Emerson are able to overcome these obstacles on their way to happily-ever-after. McCoy is excellent at cultivating chemistry amongst her couples, and Alex and Emerson in Rascal are no exception to this. This story is another example of McCoy’s ability to write authentic, real-life relationships that feel genuine and are engaging to romance readers. I will say that, for me, the resolution seemed too easily achieved, to a certain extent. But, the cute, sweet, charming nature of Alex and Emerson’s whirlwind romance is a joy, and negates any minor flaws in the plot. This is a delightful and pleasant start to McCoy’s latest series, and, given the secondary characters introduced in this book (who will surely have greater roles in the future), I anticipate the upcoming installments in the Rascals series.
  • Oh this will be a fun series.

    What a meet cute. If only that really happens. This story, while it was a cute love story, did more to lay the ground work for the series then it did focus on Alex and Emerson (can I say Emerson is an amazing name). I loved that they took it somewhat slow (even if it was like a week and a half before the I love Yous). Again I think this was more laying the ground work for the series and I can't wait to read the love stories of the rest of the gang. I volunteered to read an advance copy.
