“...an adorable & fun & sexy second-chance Royal Romance!!” ~Bianca, BJ’s Book Blog






Not her. No way. Never again.
But I need a fake girlfriend…fast.

I’m about to lose everything.
And I know just the person who can help.
The little liar that she is.
Lia Heart and I share a past.
Not just the dirty, sweaty, get tangled between-the-sheets kind.
Getting over her wasn’t easy.
But convincing her to help should be.
She owes me.
First I have to suck it up and pretend she didn’t rip my heart from my chest.
Easier said than done.
I can’t forgive or forget.
Then again, this is just business.
Nothing more.
Turns out my ‘girlfriend’ is as sweet and delicious as ever.
Temptation and chaos wrapped in a nice little package.
She’s my heaven and hell.
When resisting her proves impossible, I tell myself it’s only sex.
That a hate f-ck is just that.
Right?
I can’t possibly be falling.
Can I?

No way. Not for her. Never again.
Famous last words.


AVAILABLE NOW & FREE IN KU! 




 


Review:

3 stars
***

This book was an okay read for me. The Pretend Prince is Lia and Julius's story. Three years ago, Lia went undercover as a journalist on The Bachelor, where she met Prince Julius. She developed real feelings for him and eventually refused to do her assignment. She and Julius fell in love and he chose her as his final pick, but he found out about her original reason for being on the show and dumped her. Now, Lia is still struggling to be a journalist and her boss, who has a family vendetta against him, wants her to write an expose on Julius and the royal family, by getting close to him. But she doesn't want to hurt him again so she goes to him to let him know. Julius hates Lia for what she did to him in the past and is very rude and punishing to her. But they come to an agreement that she will pretend to be doing her assignment and they will pretend to be dating to the press. As they spend time together again, they discover they have unresolved feelings that they must work out between them.

This book is an enemies to lovers story, which doesn't always work for me and I didn't realize before I started the book. Julius was a big jerk to Lia, which made it hard for me to like him. Lia felt bad for her past and that she hurt Julius, so she martyred herself and took his poor treatment willingly. I didn't really understand why she liked him so much and wanted him back. As this is a second chance love story, I think I missed out by not seeing the couple fall in love in the first place. Also, during their separation, Lia was celibate, but Julius immediately jumped into a serious relationship that lasted until the present. He was still being hateful to her up until the end, when they finally decided to be together. I just had a hard time feeling the love between them and then the book ends at 88%. Overall, I was a little bit disappointed in this book because I have enjoyed all of the other books in this series a lot. Still, I did like the story overall and the writing is good. I enjoyed the book in general. I still love the world building in this series and I liked Lia's character. The book is an easy, entertaining read, even if it wasn't my favorite in the series. I look forward to more from Ms. Karr in the future!
