Reluctantly Yours

Barrett

I’ve rebuilt my father’s media company with hard work and determination, but my single status leaves me on the outs with the one businessman I need to get close to. A little white lie and I’m suddenly in love, head over heels. Now I need to find a fake girlfriend, someone to keep up appearances without any emotions.

When I find my mother’s fiery assistant in a compromising position, it’s the perfect opportunity to get what I want: a girlfriend for business appearances, without any feelings involved. I won’t let the fact that I’m wildly attracted to the petite redhead get in my way.

But the closer she gets, the more my heart thaws and all too soon I find myself having to choose between the business deal I’m determined to land and the woman I’ve fallen hard for.

Chloe

After two years as editorial assistant to JoAnna St. Clair of the famed St. Clair Press, I’ve been given a chance to take on my dream job as an assistant editor.

When my childhood best friend asks me to host her bachelorette weekend in the city, I’m thrilled to show everyone how amazing my life is in New York. (Things not included on the tour are my shoebox of an apartment or my romance book collection that is the only thing keeping me warm at night.)

When I fail to confirm the restaurant reservation, I’m desperate enough to use my boss’s penthouse for a party while she’s out of town.

No one will ever know. That is until her cold, dismissive, and annoyingly hot son walks in.

To keep his silence, Barrett demands a favor in return: he needs a date for a business dinner. That’s easy enough until his mother finds out and he seals my fate by telling her we are dating. It’s that or kiss my job goodbye.

While I’m reluctant at first, the more time we spend together, the harder it is to fight my attraction to him. Beneath that brooding, icy demeanor lies a heart of gold.

But when a scandalous discovery puts his deal at stake, and our relationship to the test, will Barrett prove he’s all about business?

A great book and audiobook!

I loved this book! Erin Hawkins is an amazing writer! Chloe and Barrett were great together. I loved their flirtatious banter and the way the fit together perfectly. I loved how Barrett became a better man for not only her but himself as well! It was great to see him grow in every chapter. It was low angst, romantic, and steamy.
The narrators in the audiobook did an amazing job bringing this story to life! Connor Crais is one of my favorites and he did not disappoint! I highly recommend this book and audiobook!

Absolutely amazing!

Loved this book so much. Barrett is definitely one of my favorites. The connection between him and Chloe is undeniable. One of my favorite steamy romcoms so far. Highly recommend it.

Reluctantly Yours

A fake marriage of convenience with the grumpy son of your boss? Sure why not!

This fun rom com puts Barrett and Chloe in many silly and fun situations. Comedy and Spice and great narration!

Very cute and fun!

Definitely worth a listen! This is a cute, fun and a little bit steamy book that is an enemies to lovers, marriage of convenience, slow burn trope. And I do mean SLOW burn! But it’s worth it in the end and it’s a nice, lite palate cleanser when you’re between series’ maybe. Just a fun read, glad I found this one- quite by accident!

Sooo happy!!

OMG I’m sooo in love with this book! What a wonderful audio! The story is amazing and the narrators are fantastic! Such an enjoyable and easy to read book!
