First Line: "The moon was high and full, the night was ripe for witchy business, and Danika Brown had honey on her tit."
"Talia Hibbert returns with another charming romantic comedy about a young woman who agrees to fake date her friend after a video of him 'rescuing' her from their office building goes viral....
Danika Brown knows what she wants: professional success, academic renown, and an occasional roll in the hay to relieve that career-driven tension. But romance? Been there, done that, burned the T-shirt. Romantic partner, whatever their gender, is a distraction at best and a drain at worst. So Dani asks the universe for the perfect friend-with-benefits- someone who knows the score and knows their way around the bedroom.
When brood security guard Zafir Ansari rescues Dani from a workplace fire drill gone wrong, it's an obvious sign: PhD student Dani and ex-rugby player Zaf are destined to sleep together. But before she can explain that fact, a video of the heroic rescue goes viral. Now half the internet is shipping #DrRugbae- and Zaf is begging Dani to play along. Turns out, his sports charity for kids could really use the publicity. Lying to help children? Who on earth would refuse?
Dani's plan is simple: fake a relationship in public, seduce Zaf behind the scenes. The trouble is, grumpy Zaf's secretly a hopeless romantic- and he's determined to corrupt Dani's stone-cold realism. Before long, he's tackling her fears into the dirt. But the former sports star has issues of his own, and the walls around his heart are as thick as his... um, thighs.
Suddenly the easy lay Dani dreamed of is more complex than her thesis. Has her wish backfired? is her focus being tested? Or is the universe just waiting for her to take a hint?"
My Rating: 2/5
A lot of popular booktubers and bloggers have been raving about this series and after reading the first book (Get a Life, Chloe Brown), I was ready to jump into the second one. Here is where the problem lies. I think that I prefer my adult romance to be audiobooks, and while I tried to read the physical copy of this book it just felt like something was missing. This could be because I couldn't relate with Dani's p.o.v on relationships, or that I just prefer dislike to lovers more than this friendly banters of friends with benefits to lovers. I do plan to continue the series, just with the audiobooks from her on out. I would also like to state that there aren't many explicit scenes in this book for a girl who dreams about having the perfect no strings attached connection. Just as a note to anyone who doesn't care for explicit sex scenes in their romances.
Thanks for reading,
Sidny
