Her ex, billionaire Chase Black, needs her to pretend to be engaged to him.

Maddie is an amazing character- sweet and sassy, fun but so caring and I wish we could be friends in real life. This author's books are a hit or miss for a lot of people, but I'll say the second-chance romance, fake dating, Maddie giving Chase a hard time after he broke her heart, the rich familie problems and the cute epilogue in a very Maddie-and-Chase way are worth it. I think I liked this because it was so funny that I didn't expect it.

At first it was hard to warm up to him because he seemed like an idiot, and his logic and reasoning on why breaking up with Maddie was so stupidly stupid that it made me roll my eyes so hard I swear I saw my brain, BUT after a while he became this funny and sarcastic character and his gestures towards Maddie won me over. Her only 'flaw' is that she's TOO good person and wear her heart on her sleeve allowing some people to walk on her and take advantage of that, but luckily she grew a backbone and not that late.Ĭhase Black is a LJ Shen hero through and through, meaning: crass asshole. Madison Goldbloom is a rare mix between Emilia LeBlanc's annoyingly sunny personality and odd fashion sense, and Eddie Van Der Zee's witty and sassy comebacks. This is a non-ironic 4 star rating, but in return I demand it be marketed as a rom-com because the way it made me laugh? I can't even understand it myself.Ĭhase's father is dying and Chase thought the best thing at this time was to show him that he had his life settled (hint: he doesn't), so he recruited his ex-girlfriend –who hates him because he broke her heart–, to pretend to be his fiancee because seriously what could go wrong?
